Posted at 7:21pm on Dec. 4, 2007 Convenient Intelligence: Not Just For Republicans Anymore
Recent sanctions are why Iran stopped their Nuke program...4 years ago! Huh?

Democrats have been bleeding through their bulging eyeballs with outrage over this President's alleged misuse of Intelligence in order to deceive the American people and wage a war of "blood for oil" for YEARS. They have vilified Bush AND they have trashed the Intelligence community relentlessly, accusing them of everything from being Bush's puppets to being the most incompetent group of organizations to ever serve the American people.
Give them a report they like, or one that fits their agenda of pacifism, retreat, and capitulation, and BANG! Magically, the Intelligence community instantaneously transforms into some surreal beacon of hope for a brighter Democrat future.
Having taken credit for requesting a report that coincidently aligns with a promised Obama or Clinton appeasement of the man who wants to see Israel destroyed, the Democrats believe they have George Bush right where they want him. Of course, they also seem to believe...NEED to believe that Iran is but a fluffy little fuzz ball and has been since 2003.
Um, hang on a cotton-picking minute here folks.
Vowing to impeach both George Bush AND Dick Cheney for lying to the American people and waging a war they supported (while now suggesting they only did so because they had been duped by this evil Administration and the ordered fabrications of his marionettes in the Intelligence Community), the Democrats have been slinging spittle of outrage at TV cameras around the globe for YEARS over this Iraq debacle. Basing their broken promises to end the war on half-truths and outright lies about what's actually happening on the ground, these people insist we should just as quickly accept a report they think might benefit them now?
My cynicism knows no bounds.
More below the fold...

Posted at 12:07pm on Nov. 26, 2007 President Bush is preparing to give away the store at this week at Annapolis for a chance at Legacy
And he's dragging Israel along for the ride.

It seems somehow fitting that this week’s Annapolis Conference on Palestinian Statehood, featuring appearances by Israel, the Fatah leadership of the Palestinian West Bank, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and other regional players, will be taking place just over a year from the time that President George W. Bush is scheduled to leave office. In what has become somewhat of a time-honored tradition among recent American presidents, President Bush, like Bill Clinton before him, has turned a hopeful eye to the Levant as a solution to his “legacy” problem as the time for him to leave office draws near.
Like his predecessor, the Bush and his presidency stand to be remembered largely for poor choices, big-government policy, and abysmal public relations (the latter not being a trait shared by the Clintonistas) rather than for any large successes in the domestic or foreign policy realms. In an attempt to correct (or obscure) this, Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are venturing forth into the well-traveled territory of the Israel-Palestine conflict, in hopes of succeeding where all others have failed and creating a lasting peace between the Jewish state and her Arab enemies.
