Hmm...

At least 20 senior members of Bush's national security team have resigned or retired in the past six months. Some of the most prominent:

• Deputy National Security Adviser J.D. Crouch.

• Deputy National Security Adviser Meghan O'Sullivan.

• National Security Council Asia expert Victor Cha.

•Pentagon intelligence chief Stephen Cambone.

• U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.

• Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Robert Joseph.

• State Department counselor Philip Zelikow.

• Assistant Secretary of State for Political and Military Affairs John Hillen.

• State Department counterterrorism coordinator Henry Crumpton.

• State Department policy planning director Stephen Krasner.

• Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Barry Lowenkron.

• Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Dina Habib Powell.


Any ideas what this may mean? Are these the first of many rats to abandon the sinking USS GopBs ship? Twenty, in six months. Kinda' makes you wonder...

I think they were skeered of getting subpoenaed or thrown in jail or sent to Iraq to prove it's safe.

You missed last weeks resignation of Tobias Randall.
All in all looks like a good house cleaning is going on. Keep up the good work whoever.

Nut's Fallen, I did! Well, when they're dropping faster than flys, it's hard to keep up... ;o)

Vigilante said...

Yeah, Ziem. But I think Steve Cambone was thrown under a bus. I am really interested in finding out where this thug is and has been since his December resignation (following Rumsfeld's.) Let me know if you have a clue? thanks!

Ziem said...

I can't seem to find anything yet... Oh, but give me time! hehe

ps: always my pleasure dear.

It's getting harder for them to find yes sir answer men. They have to continue a non stop quest to find people to agree with anything they say. Sooner or later, the new blood will run out.

The water in the pot was beginning to boil so they thought they might hop out and save their asses.

Worry not, for the new patch of experts of all kinds are about to be hatched to take up the slack!

"Dr. M.G. "Pat" Robertson, founder and president of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), had an inspired vision to establish a graduate-level institution that would train men and women for the challenge of representing Christ in their professions".

Obviously, the only reason for the delayed victory in Iraq is non commited people. Graduates of this prestigious Regent University, with their superior knowldge of the Holy Book, are going to lead America to a glorious victory, that I am sure of.

I was just sayin' to Trophy Wife last night at the table, all we need is for one of these guilty sycophants to expunge his burden and deliver an unmistakable smoking gun and blow Bush-Cheney's circus up in smoke. Another Daniel Elsberg? Maybe Colin Powell will finally come clean? I'm not hold my breath on him, but I'm just sayin' . . . .
