Here's the poop on Stephen Hadley-National Security Adviser:on CNN
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 11:28 AM by spanone
Neocon Bad News ~snip~

Stephen Hadley is a hardliner close to Vice President Dick Cheney and to the neoconservative camp. Named by the president in mid-November 2004 to replace Condoleezza Rice as his National Security Adviser, Hadley formed part of a loosely constituted group of foreign policy advisers known as the Vulcans who advised candidate Bush in 2000 and were at the core of the presidential transition team following Bush’s election. Among the other Vulcans who later moved into the first Bush administration were Rice, Colin Powell, Cheney, Richard Perle, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz.

1. He's spouting the talking points with Wolfie, and is being
allowed, as we have come to expect, to get away with it.

8. This is making me sick! Wolfie asks a question that makes you
think he's going to be hard-hitting. Hadley lies again, and Wolfie just goes "Oh, okay." and it's off to the next lie.

11. Let's see if Col. Wilkinson gets equal time on the show to refute Bush's
bullshit. Will the breaking story of the "bombbelt Jordan lady" knocks him off the list of scheduled speakers?

12. I've already sent an email to Wolfie, telling him that he's an hour
into his show and all he's done is bring us the Republican spin on all issues. I also told him he may as well advertise himself as an affiliate of FOX news.

14. The FOX clone press can spin all they like but it won't stop Chimpy's
poll numbers from sliding.

7. More 'poop' on Hadley ( a real p.o.s poop!)
http://www.thinkprogress.org/leak-scandal

Hadley is one of 23 Administration Officials Involved in the Plame Leak.

Deputy National Security Advisor (2001-2005); National Security Advisor (2005-Present) ROVE COMMUNICATED HIS CONVERSATION WITH COOPER TO HADLEY: After Karl Rove spoke to Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper about Joseph Wilson (according to Cooper, this was the first time he learned of Plame’s identity), Rove wrote Hadley an email. The July 11, 2003 email said: “Matt Cooper called to give me a heads-up that he’s got a welfare reform story coming. When he finished his brief heads-up he immediately launched into Niger. Isn’t this damaging? Hasn’t the president been hurt? I didn’t take the bait, but I said if I were him I wouldn’t get Time far out in front on this.”

HADLEY SEEN AS “EYES AND EARS” FOR CHENEY: In 1989, Hadley served as assistant secretary of defense for international security policy under then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. Hadley admitted Cheney was “a factor” in his hiring as deputy national security adviser by President Bush in 2001. The Washington Post reported that some saw Hadley as Cheney’s “eyes and ears” at the NSC.

HADLEY WAS WARNED NOT TO CITE URANIUM EVIDENCE: Hadley briefed reporters on July 22, 2003 to explain why the bogus intelligence should have been excluded from Bush’s State of the Union. Hadley noted his receipt of a memorandum from the CIA, dated October 6, 2002, that explained why references to Iraq’s pursuit of uranium was dropped from Bush’s October 7 speech against Iraq. According to Hadley, the memo provided “some additional rationale for the removal of the uranium reference.” The memo described “some weakness in the evidence, the fact that the effort was not particularly significant to Iraq’s nuclear ambitions because the Iraqis already had a large stock of uranium oxide in their inventory This memorandum was received by the Situation Room here in the White House, and it was sent to both Dr. Rice and myself.”
HADLEY REVIEWED POWELL’S SPEECH TO U.N. WHICH DID NOT CONTAIN URANIUM REFERENCE: Prior to Powell’s speech, Condoleeza Rice’s deputy Stephen Hadley led “the White House effort to sift through the intelligence with the help of the CIA,” and tried “to determine what can be released without damaging the agency’s ability to gather similar information.” The uranium reference mentioned in Bush’s 2003 State of the Union just one week prior was deleted from Powell’s speech to the U.N. because Powell said it did not stand “the test of time.”

HADLEY COORDINATED WITH TENET ON TENET’S APOLOGY: The Washington Post reported, “Behind the scenes, the White House responded with twin attacks: one on Wilson and the other on the CIA, which it wanted to take the blame for allowing the 16 words to remain in Bush’s speech. As part of this effort, then-deputy national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley spoke with Tenet during the week about clearing up CIA responsibility for the 16 words, even though both knew the agency did not think Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger, according to a person familiar with the conversation.”

MEMBER OF THE WHITE HOUSE IRAQ GROUP: Hadley was a regular participant in the weekly meetings of the Bush Administration’s White House Iraq Group. The main purpose of the group was the systematic coordination of the “marketing” of going to war with Iraq as well as selling the war here at home. One clear example of this fact is that “the escalation of nuclear rhetoric” during the pre-war stage, “including the introduction of the term ‘mushroom cloud’ into the debate, coincided with the formation” of WHIG. The group included the two individual who have been confirmed as leakers, Karl Rove and Lewis Libby.

13. I hope so. After today's Sunday morning 'news', of which I could stomach
actually listening to less than half, I am extremely discouraged.
