1. Koko, take deep breaths
He's just a consultant on Crossfire. He got a tough question and fumbled a bit. He's not going to invade Canada.

3. Here's one
He's just some Dem consultant that gets blindsinded by the video of Clark. He makes a stupid comment about "there having been worse candidates." I will note that he didn't direct it towards any of the CURRENT candidates. Clearly a screw-up statement though. That's probably the last show he'll ever do.

5. Here's what I think! Wilson & Wife Were Compromised..Blackmail! and they
were given the alternative of "putting the lid" on Niger Yellow Cake.....or going with what the "Special Ops" in CHENEY/CIA told them to do.

They discussed it as a FAMILY.......and mulled it over....and worried that they could become "TARGETS" and not be able to continue their "Family Life."

They said: "We are already being 'Blackmailed' what's next? They thought what's next....might be...."TERMINATION!"

Given the alternatives......I think that Ambassador Wilson did the "CORRECT THING" and came out with "GUNS BLAZING" and decided to go on the "OFFENSIVE" instead of the "DEFENSIVE!"

I think viewing the "Media" today in my wanderings that Wilson felt he could end up like Britain's David Kelly ....with WRISTS SLASHED UNDER A TREE ON A GREENWAY..........OR......He could BEAT THEM AT THEIR GAME!

And that Wilson/Plame....said.....either we will be "Anthraxed or we will FIGHT THIS!"

It's a "calculated risk" they took......but I think they did it for the "INTEGRITY OF THE CIA" going forward....and that's what we AREN'T HEARING from the WHORE MEDIA........

4. Worthless thread
I'm not particularly for the 'new rules', but with threads like this I can see why they want them. This isn't anything personal against the poster, I'm sure he/she knows exactly what he/she is talking about. It's just that I don't. Expand. What did the guy say/do that you don't like. Just some little thing so people know what you're so upset about it.

11. Just add a couple of points
Give a frame of reference, something. I do not know what you're talking about here and I would bet alot of other people don't either. It's to the benefit of YOUR thread to add a little info in order to get more discussion.

And don't take ONE criticism as a blanket condementation of every post you've ever made. I said it wasn't personal and when I say something I mean it.

7. I got this from a "google"...
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=16798

"Possibly Clark can learn from the experienced tutors who are quickly securing the perimeter around him. This week, a flood of former Clintonites flew into Little Rock to teach Clark the ropes of a successful campaign. Among the Clinton and Gore crew are Gore spokesman Mark Fabiani, Gore's chief of staff Ron Klain, former Commerce Secretary Mickey Kantor; former Gore field director Donnie Fowler; Washington attorneys Ron Klain and Bill Oldaker; New Hampshire activist and Clinton friend George Bruno; Clinton appointee Vanessa Weaver and Eli Segal, former head of AmeriCorps
