Insider exposes fraud of Bush Administration
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski -

a unique view of the Department of Defense during a period of intense ideological upheaval, as the United States prepared to launch—for the first time in its history—a “preventive” war....



I had observed that many of the neoconservatives in the Pentagon not only had limited military experience, if any at all, but they also advocated theories of war that struck me as rejections of classical liberalism, natural law, and constitutional strictures. More than that, the pressure of the intelligence community to conform, the rejection of it when it failed to produce intelligence suitable for supporting the “Iraq is an imminent threat to the United States” agenda, and the amazing things I was hearing in both Bush and Cheney speeches told me that not only do neoconservatives hold a theory based on ideas not embraced by the American mainstream, but they also have a collective contempt for fact.

1. They will bring him down before the Democrats do.
That is as it should be.

Is that Buchanan's magazine?

Nothing brings down a regime more effectively than factions. :-)

4. You should see the number of people
who have left the department of defense and the State Dept these last 3 years. I couldn't believe it when I read on some web site (I read so many; will try to find it).

It was like an exodus, a steady stream of people, unheard and unwritten, who left on their own accord, or were ousted by the Bush administration. Many, many generals were kicked out who disagreed with the Neocons.

The truth finally became clear to me. This was a coup d'etat which has taken place in our government.
