Kristol: ‘Mood is Bleak’ at White House

Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, said he expects indictments this week in the CIA leak case involving White House advisers Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

Kristol said "the mood is bleak in the White House today,” and said the environment surrounding the federal grand jury testimony is "pretty grim.” Although the indictments may not ultimately result in anything substantive, Kristol said there is a pins-and-needles feel to the grand jury investigation into the leaking of a CIA agent's name to the media in 2003.

"The net has been cast wide,” Kristol told Fox News Tuesday. "Lots of junior aides have testified. It’s been a very comprehensive investigation by the prosecutor. I think there will be indictments and the mood is pretty bleak in the White House.”

As for what this means for President Bush and the daily working of the White House, Kristol said it is too early to tell.

"The White House has to ask, ‘How do we segregate this?’ … This is a problem, but the legal system has to run its course.
"Meanwhile,” Kristol said, "the president has to take the initiative on foreign policy and economic policy and sort of set this aside.”

enough loyal Bush aides to brush this off and get on with the neocon agenda.

The leaks and counter-leaks dribbling out of the WH in the past few days show what the priority is now: "every man for himself, save your own skin!"

This is just a tiny taste of what they have put millions of Americans through. May they choke on it.

There are many individuals in India who could do this work much more capably for a fraction of the cost.

Everything is opposite day with these individuals and everything they say I take as meaning the opposite.

nothing comes of this they'll tell us they had complete confidence in the system.

incompetence of those implementing it. Perhaps you need to emigrate to China where you can advise the next regime with Imperial Dreams.
Trotsky used Russia, you used the US, do us a favor and take the Straussian road show to Beijing.

Iffn' you ain't done nothin wrong, why you skeerd?

You should have heard the laughter the day the stock went from $120 to $2/share and everybody lost their savings.

Black humor is a defense mechanism, a way of keeping horror at bay.

I imagine there is a lot of that going around the WH these days.
