Well, geez...
Looks like the 9/11 report will be thoroughly sanitized for Bush's protection.
The White House will vet "line by line" the report of an independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks before it is publicly released, the commission chairman said on Sunday.Chairman Thomas Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he was surprised to learn of the White House review, which he said was required under law to ensure any material that could compromise intelligence was not included.
"They go through it line by line," Kean said, referring to the White House review process involving intelligence issues. White House chief of Staff Andrew Card will oversee the vetting.
Expect 500 pages with everything but the words 'a,' 'the,' and 'and' redacted.So glad we took the time and money to get to the bottom of things....

No one can possibly believe that these whitewashers will ever let the truth anywhere near the public.
The Bush administration is the most abhorrent thing ever to be thrust on an unwilling majority.
Liars and soon to be perjurers, this administration makes Nixon look downright honest and statesman-like.

Eccentricity

As most of it was televised, and you wont or don't believe it then. What makes anyone think the left would be happy with anything? I do mean anything, you want your cake and eat it and you want everyone else's, sorry to share equally of course

Robin,
Wrong again. Most of it wasn't televised. There were a lot more hearings than the two days that made it to television.
Not to mention that Bush and Cheney will be appearing together, in private, not sworn in. My bet is that none of that will see the light of day - and that's probably where the biggest lies will be told.
I'd be happy with Bush - sans Uncle Dick - swearing his ass in and testifying where the American people could see him. Your bogeyman Clinton did it, as did Gerry Ford.
Bush, once again, reveals himself as the most cowardly "president" in this country's history.
Spin that.

AS I said before you wouldnt be happy with anything, not if he did it on tv with glee , not if he did it in a tree, not even while taking a pee. You wont be happy untill were stuck with kerrie, then all will not be glee, kerrie will not do it on tv , he will not do it in a tree, but he will take a pee hopefully on ye ( you (sp) )

"this administration makes Nixon look downright honest and statesman-like"
Lest we forget some of these clowns were in the Nixon administration. And Robin, you are right, this liberal won't be happy until the Chimp is out of the White House.

Robin,
Nice dodge.
Bush is a coward. If he could be a man for once in his life, this would be the time.
But he won't. And not even a glassy-eyed apologist like yourself can or will defend that, so I get Dr. Suess in response.
Sadly typical.

you take yourself too seriously, get over it
some humor was all
you would bitch no matter what so keep bitching. I dont mind
Time will tell on this one, members are already saying the report will be a suprise both in content and remidies, also that the whitehouse will get the report out with little changes. Unless they say hang Bush you won't be happy anyway so , bitch soon and bitch often that will make it all better

You wont be happy with Kerryco in the white house either. Your just not the happy type. Your liberal, there is always something to fix or right in your world. There will never be enough money nor support for any project you would like. That's why I love the U.S.A. even liberal flakes get to speak. You can always tell a liberal, you just can't tell him much ! ! ! !

For once, I'll be brief:
This news is the last straw.
Later.

'Some humor.'
Oh, you mean like, 'Nope, no weapons of mass destruction under there, ha, ha, ha....'
I like to laugh as much as anybody. But you don't seem to realize that this is nothing to laugh about.

Robin:
I may not be the happy type, but I'm very capable of happiness at least part of the time, no matter how many lies Bush tells or how many people are dead as a result of his wars or how many crimes he gets away with.
I did a little work on my garden yesterday. Planted a red oak; cut the grass; did a little tune-up work on my pond, now that the pump and filter are running this year; put in some borders for the cilantro patch; and re-piled all my loose, extra stone neatly.
The other day I bought some new fish for the pond; patched up the red sandstone patio my bench sits on, filling the holes dug by a snake who looooves eating frogs out of my pond; straightened out the stone borders on the patio; made a new rock garden instead of flowers for the area adjacent to the pond (easier than cleaning weeds out all the time); bought and installed new light bulbs for the night accents; rebuilt the waterfall, eliminating the leak from last year; straightened up the leftover cord of wood unused this winter.
Whew!
I'm a pretty busy guy, incredibly happy with my garden and pond hobbies. Much too busy to be characterized as generally unhappy, just because a criminal lives in the White House presently.
You are wrong. Later.

The White House will vet "line by line" the report of an independent commission

"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."
You may be right, which means I may have to reassess my understanding of a few other words: honesty, integrity, truth, morality...
Hmmm... I better quit there and go find my dictionary...
