Surprised? Dem Attack on CIA, Cheney Blows Up in Their Faces
Congress originally authorized the CIA to develop the secret counterterrorism program that is now drawing fierce criticism from House Democrats who say they were kept in the dark all along, a former senior intelligence official told FOX News on Monday.

I can't believe what a bunch of idiots we have running our country. It's like the bad news bears!

The entire US Military, CIA, FBI (well maybe not 100%) are HOWLING at the stupidity of this PELOSI, a.k.a., JOKER at Large.

WARRIOR - I agree with you. Except for a handful die hard Liberals in these organizations, all would like to see Pelosi take a long walk off a short pier.
realworld009
That's a LIE and everyone in the military I talk to and including some agents is for it..so don't speak for us..You political extremist have a problem with trying to speak for everybody when we don't even agree with you
Redman
Like most liberals you probably don't know anyone in the military. Why would you? You don't like our country and we do.

I'm laughing in Afghanistan over your supposed superior liberal intellect! Lol!

Good luck if you are in the military there.
I feel our troups are fighting the right battle there. All the best to you.

Surprised? The administration has seen it's approval ratings plummet after the 9.5% job report. It's a diversion. What is surprising is how completely iladvised the strategy was. As a very good bi-partisan lobbyist told me today "don't they ever learn?!"

RedR----You are forgetting two facts. Clinton decimated the military to achieve positive stats. Bush, after 9/11, had to rebuild the military, fight two wars, and protect the economy from disaster.
RedR
That;s just silly. Clinton did not decimate the military to get those stats, he led a great economy.
Bush's deficit is mostly due to his tax cuts (which really failed), with a little due to Iraq and the bailout.
DESTROY THE LEFT
And they ignore that Reagan had to rebuild the military after Carter. Yet we had the most prosperous economy on record. And that build up brought an end to the Cold War.

Put RedR in charge of the investigation. He has time on his hands.

Cheney is turning out to be way cooler than the MSM has been making him out to be. If Pelosi was running an industry, then she'd have been charged, tried, and jailed by now.

Rasmussen also found a Republican edge on many other issues. Democrats led Republicans 41 percent to 38 percent on education -- but the GOP led 49-40 percent on national security, 40-34 on immigration, 46-39 on abortion, 34-33 on ethics and corruption and -- get this -- 42-37 on Social Security.
RedR
None of these polls has anything to do with the article, and honestly I did not look up your information. I am sure there will be a forum about a poll and we can talk about this, it seemed like a deflection from the topic though
November2010
RedR posts these same stats, and, when i catch him at it, I ask:
1. Who controlled Congress (the ones who spend the money) the last two (and most expensive) if W's years in office?
2. Which Presidents benefitted from a recently won war, like the end of DS1, the Cold War, WWII.
There are other very good questions, but these get teh idea across.
LA_USMC
RedR stats are pure propaganda. Go to the CBO website and look up the historical deficit data. A good lesson in civics would help RedR to understand which entity of the federal government initiates spending bills. Here is a hint, it is not the President
RedR
LAUSMC- I know who initiates but the pres has far and away the most power, even ultimate power, and every spending bill is written keeping in mind if the pres will sign it.
RedR
your deal does not explain 40 years of data
Jimmy Carter D 1977-1981 Deficit DECREASE BY 3.2%
Reagan1 Ronald Reagan R 1981-1985 Deficit INCREASE BY 11.3%

Redman
Your naming presidents, they don't control spending they can only veto what they don't like and will rarely veto a budget because the country has to function. The question is who controlled congress when the deficit increased and decreased? I think you will see a whole different story. The other question is how much did they cut our defenses to make these gains? The primary duty of the federal government is national defense not redistribution of wealth. In fact redistribution is un-constitutional.
RedR
Propoganda?
I disagree completely.
Hard cold data can't really be propoganda imo.

phillyfanatic
God bless Cheney and the military and CIA who actually are protecting, were protecting the USA unlike the liberal lemmings like some of the posters above and the socialist pacifist BHO. That anyone could credit Dems with anything but taxing and spending is just insanity. Citing real economic facts always ruins a lefty's cred as it will for BHO as he lies, yes, lies about what the Porkulas has achieved. More joblessness, more debt and less protection.
RedR
Since we don't care about the topic I offer these facts.... At least I am not throwing insults.

These are the facts and why so many democrats find conservatives getting
riled up by deficits and spending to be really an abomination. It is
simply inappropriate for any republican to complain about this issue and be
taken seriously. Republicans complaining about the deficit and spending is
just fake, you have been sold a false bunch of jargon that suggests
republicans stand for fiscal responsibility.

I'm not surprised. It was only cover for Pelosi. These are not really smart people.

You have to ignore RedR...this same pair of clownshoes was declaring "investigation over" last week when six politically motivated democrats handed a letter to Panetta (not even on official letterhead) to "correct" his statement on CIA briefings...a statement he's not "corrected". RedR will say just about anything on these boards, his problem is that it's never credible.

The Dems must have been on coffee break at the time of the briefing.

they sent their aides-ala Princess Pelosi- that is the party line.

Hey, RedR (by the way, what the 2nd R is for? That you're Red - no doubt, but "R" ...). Looking at your remarks, you're only good for no-logic, no-facts, no common-sense grumbling. What are you doing on this site? Why don't you go to your Communist's sites - like MediaMuggers, MoveTrash.org and others from George Soros "basket of goodies"? Go there and enjoy your own tribe - and don't forget to take other Commies with you. By the way, you'll find The One's personal blog there - written by the prompter. It will be warm and fuzzy for you - and you'll be more Red, mate!
RedR
Mishka, you should be interested in learning other viewpoints, that's much of the reason to look at a political forum. Why post with someone who agrees with you completely? You won't learn anything. I would argue by coming here and reading FoxNews I demonstrate more of an open mind that most people here.

I think RedR comes here for therapy. Either that or we're his social life.

Former Head of the CIA????? 1??? Questionable??? LOL@ ya RED . NYT wrote about a hit list being drawn up 2002, DO you remember Dem's going ballistic then?? Smoke Red, Divert the people don't let us see what is really going on! Dem's are pretty sorry people, hanging on by their fingre nails.
RedR
Wow, you think this is fun? Nope... Here is one of my initial posts on this forum topic, it's content was ignored almost completely and I got called a commie and an illuminati. I actually usually post to the forum topic, and the replies I get hardly ever are on topic. I stand by my on-topic post.
--People here have accused me of bringing in questionable data. One unnamed former inteligence member is quoted on Fox and you call it gospel? I listed a direct quote from Bill Clinton, and got smashed because it came from the New York Times. Let's wait and see, but obviously if Cheney is not guilty that is good news in general, I have no idea what we would have done if he was found guilty of something like this. Still, some unnamed source is not nearly enough, hopefully the source will come out clean in any investigation if there is one.

I didn't follow what that meant as far as this forum topic, a paycheck, and some poll numbers.
I really don't know what i am supposed to reply to or why I am.

I think my reply got filtered Texas.
Maybe when we have a forum about the economy i will try to show where I feel you are wrong.

9-out of 10 Red. I have been telling you. People want to feed their Family's, they want to keep their home's THEY WANT A JOB! The Fed's can not support 20-or30 Million people. The Dem's told us during the Election we were in a Depression, so the Ecuse they DIDNT see it coming was a lie,,, they said it 100's of times. By the way they did nothing, nothing to try and stop the down turn cuz it was to their advantage (to win) if everyone thought the Repub's made the mess..HA! Dem's ran the Congress, spent the MONEY and put us 2day right where we are. Now Dem's own this and more Job's are being cut they have NO MONEY LEFT to try to save anybody. Red you are on the wrong side..Nobody is listing anymore Red, BO wants to keep blaming Bush but Bush aint there no more..
Do nothing Obama Admin & Dems gotta go-Bye!
Democrat's smoke screen to cover up Nancy Pelosi's lies and deceit!
