Does this mean the my taxes are going to pay for the loan that will pay this war criminal's salary?

The dam that used to hold the ideals of America is rapidly breaking into small pieces all over the place. The cells of this slithering, subversive virus of an administration is taking hold and has invaded the waters only because the court has been stacked, the congress subverted and the body politic remains anesthetized.

A way to respond is as a natural immune system. Do what you can where you are -- act locally doing your part -- and sooner or later the efforts will connect -- the body will go into high fever -- the virus will die -- and we will awaken in the dried sweat having outpoured the toxins -- having to arise and build again.

No. Your children and grandchildren will pay taxes to pay this war criminal´s salary.

Is there some way to stop this appointment, can Congress do something about
it? This guy is a crook and a murderer. Can we remove Rice for slapping
this on our face?

Translation:

Named to head Israel Security Panel.

Why not; he's a dual national. Good position to start scare mongering the hell out of United Staesians.

Jeffrey Courion - Thanks for your words of wisdom.

I think it is also very important to hold onto your sense of humor. We have entered into the realm of "ridiculousness to the nth degree" and sometimes the only thing that enables one to hold onto to sanity is laughter and good company.

Peace,

Like here, here is a joke:

What kind of wolf is not inwit?

Wolfowitz.

Citizens who support Democrats need to realize that these scoundrels don't go away when they leave office.

I'm still waiting for Bill Clinton to bring charges on King George I for lying about being out of the loop on Iran/Contra. Oops, too late.

I just read an artlcle on thestreet.com entitled The Five Dumbest Things on Wallstreet this week..and in it I learned that Stan O'Neal has been appointed to the board of directors of Alcoa. This is the Stan O'Neal who had to leave Merrill Lynch because of billions of dollars in Bond losses...and funny on the same day I read this about Wolfowitz...and what I see is validation of the belief that there is a "club" of power people who look out for each other...and are basically running the world. This has NOTHING to do with COMPETENCE or value to the company/gov't. It's all about POWER and control. ANd as much as women and minorities talk about a glass ceiling...it's really there for everyone, white men included...if you aren't invited you can't join the club...or get a position of real power, but boy, once you're in...you're in forever!!!...reality check...

Maybe he can get his girlfriend a job too, she must be at least as crooked and incompetent as the rest of these fools, a prerequisite for anyone in this government.

We have dual citizens running this country...see Chertoff to, and others in govt and congress. And peopple wonder why they call US of A the US of I. These folks are not looking out for the American people. They are looking out for their own racist folks in Israel.

This guy is just crooked wherever he goes. Champions a terrible idea in the Iraq war. Leaves office in disgrace, and GWB gets him in as the head of the World Bank.....keeping third world countries down.....sets up job for girlfriend (all on the up and up), and taking from his former bosses lead in nepetism, and leaving that position in a small disgrace, only to be appointed to be "a source of independent insight?" How can he be independent? Or insightful? He is a one sighted warmongering, rascist crook. Will this be followed by a small digraceful leave when he champions a war with Iran and his boss listens to him?

Culling this Grey Wolf would be a boon to humanity.

Cripes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's next?

Man, I wish I had the kind of job security these guys have. Screwing up a war, putting your girlfriend on the payroll . . . just what do you have to do to be permanently off the neocons' Christmas card list, anyway? Bugger Bush's wife or dog on the White House lawn?

So how come we have to rely on Agence Presse France to find out this information?

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."--JFK

The sorry record of this current administration continues to roll through its 8th year just oozing with sleaze and slime. It will be replaced by a Hillary or Barack O administration oozing with the same.

Where they need to begin is not in Washington but on Wall Street where the masters of these corrupt officials enable them by their $upport. Next stop should be Madison Avenue where all the ad agencies whose genies use their genius to mislead "we the people" with deceit and enchantment.

Finally, a list of Fortune magazine's 500 top corporations with annotations of their executives and board members (usually avaiable with the publically filed annual reports) would also provide targets of opportunity for such avenging angels.

The more criminal the established leadership becomes, the more radical will be the response from the abused.

Soon enough there will come a time when someone somewhere will take matters into their own hands and use force to eliminate some of these dirty birds. Then there won't be enough Blackwater goons in ski masks with automatic weapons to keep them all safe.

The more things he f*cks up - the more good shit he gets to put on his resume'.

As Wolfowitz keeps getting new positions and no reprimands its clear to me that Tel Aviv runs this country! How else to explain what has been happening the last eight years?

Slimed over and over and over and over again. This slim ball has more lives and any self respecting cat.
Where is the dude behind the grassy knoll when you truly need him?
I'm guessing he/she is a Neo-Con!

ISAB, the department said, is a source of independent insight, advice, and innovation on all aspects of arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation.

Yep, he's the perfect man for the job.

Does anyone really believe we live in a democracy? Or that we are a great nation? The United States is a joke, a ruthless, dangerous joke. I'm embarrassed to be an American citizen.

The most Orwellian sentence is the last one, which begins, "In his decades of public service..."

Public service???????!!!!!!!

See it's the revolving door in and out of government for these war criminals. Wolfovitz is especially evil. But it's the same group of psychopaths over and over and over again.

What an evil grin! Even as I write this the Palestineans are being herded back into the killing fields that the Jewish state calls Gaza.

Unbelievable! This mangy cat really does have 9 lives.

Just look at that grin from Hell. He and Cheney were joined at birth. Only the grave will tear them apart.

The only peaceful (maybe) way to do this is to shrink the power this government has--forever. Start building alternative institutions locally and then cut off their money.

On another article in CD, the plan is exposed to start killing wolves in the Yellowstone area. Apparently the checks and balances that wolves make on deer, elk, etc., not to mention the occasional dog or cow is unacceptable.

Now we are paying to put a far more dangerous wolf into a position of predatory power?

As I said in my post on the other site (sorry to repeat, but I think it fits)

Remember the NeoCon Cheney/Bush creed

Thou shalt have no predators before me.

what creepy movie character does he look like ?

Please people of Europe, hear me now; start war crime investigations against this administration, THE AMERICAN PEOPLES HANDS ARE BOUND!!

WAR CRIMINAL!

After spending much of the morning reading Common Dreams articles and the 'comments' section, it's just unreal. Whatever person coined the phrase,

"Truth Tis Stranger Than Fiction" knew very well, events of the time.

Another saying, used mostly by comedians is, "Folks, I'm Not Making This Up."

It's all so surreal.

whatfools,

Go to www.kpfa.org and scroll down to the show called 'Living Room' with Kris Welch. Click onto it and listen to yesterday's talk about Gaza. I heard a little bit but now I want to hear the whole show.

whatfools,

Go to www.kpfa.org and click on the show 'Living Room' with Kris Welch. Click on yesterday's (24th) program on Gaza. I heard a few minutes of it but will listen to the whole broadcast later.

"ISAB, the department said, is "a source of independent insight, advice, and innovation on all aspects of arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation, political-military issues, and international security and related aspects of public diplomacy."

First question: What kind of "independent" insight could a collective neocon drone have to offer?

Second question: When did neocon Wolfowitz ever offer any innovative ideas that haven't gotten this country into deeper trouble?

Third question: When did Wolfowitz ever make any innovative and constitutionally-supportive suggestions relative to the engagement of "public diplomacy"?

This country is headed for more pain and fiscal instability.

The oligarchy moves on and on and on. It will not stop no matter who we "elect" as president in 2008. They are all part of the same club of corporate shills for Israel.

To Homeward-Angel, I would say this, we in the UK would like to see these characters tried and locked up for ever, but I don't think it is that simple. The whole of Europe has changed - you have Sarkoszy in France, who is the most right wing president in history. Merkel in Germany is just a smoozer, who will go with the flow. Gordon Brown here in the UK has taken over from Bliar, with the same team and policies in place. If we lose Brown, then we get David Cameron, a teflon coated sickly populist who has already met your main man, and seems to have fallen head over heels in love with him.
Politics in Europe is very much like those in the US, very heavily involved with the corporate World.
The people we vote for always betray us and the country's interests in the end.

I say: "To the Hague with him for crimes against humanity." Until the war criminals in our midst are called to account we will all be living in falsehood and will be complicit with the their evil doing, since we haven't arrested and deported them. It offends me every time I see Henry Kissinger, Eliot Abrams, and others from an earlier era of crimes, and these new additions to the rogues gallery of war criminals who not only move about freely in our midst but are toasted as great statesmen and paid high fees for their speeches and seats on corporate boards.

That evil grin is the grin of Leo Strauss, Wolfowitz' guru who taught him that the ordinary people are just sheep to be mislead. manipulated, and utterly disregarded. This is the grin of arrogance, of extreme hubris, but it is also a warning of the tyranny which awaits us.

Just goes to show that no matter how many times you squesh a roach bug it always comes back.

Is Alberto Gonzales still unemployed or did they sneak him into a cushy job too? This is all too much to believe. What the ____ happened to America?

One can only succeed with this administration by being a demonstrated failure--unfortunately the rest of us are in the back seat of this car being driven by these maniacs.

why not? condi has never been right, nor made any correct decisions, so why not hire other incompetents? Maybe she feels superior this way or maybe it just corroborates all her bad judgements......

LORD TRIGO

in answer to your question: yes; but simultaneously...........

Read Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
Rome became mired in the Middle East and each emperor kept passing their failure to deal with the quagmire onto the next emperor. The institutions of Roman society developed into a military bueracracy.
Read Gibbon. Get the programme and take a seat.

This nation has been and is being looted of its wealth, it's honor, it's freedom and ultimately of it's sovreignty. If you want to know who the looters are, look to whom any "viable" candidate for the presidency pays obescience. look up and read the communication between O'bama and our Ambassador to the UN yesterday relative to the jailbreak in Gaza--- Same thing with Hillary.
The Honorable Dennis Kucinich left the fray--- he refused to pay allegiance to another country and was marginalized and may be destroyed as a public figure, as a number of challengers for his seat in congress have recently been arranged.

tommybones

Perhaps that was a typo: read 'public servicing' - (as in what a bull does to a cow).

USA is insane

One thing Bu$h the inferior and his administration needs is a greedy, unethical, war criminal, with really bad ideas. There are only a few with all these traits in abundance so they need to recycle the really good ones like Wolfowitz.

Pure existential nausea is the only reasonable response to this disgusting news. We no longer have recourse to our "elected officials" who dis us every time we contact their offices to complain about yet another violation of the constitution. Even the so-called liberals are part of the problem. Only a handful of courageous mavericks like Kucinich dare to speak the truth in the City of Shame--Washington DC. I know in the depths of my being the hour is too late for this country. It cannot be saved--it is headed for tyranny and doom. I hope to save myself as the Jews who fled Germany and Austria saved themselves before it is too late.

Congress? Oh, you mean the rubber stamp.

He belongs in Jail for treason.
