For that ~ for telling Keith Olbermann that people should be skeptical if Bush starts talking about going into Iran ~ I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO HIM!

5. I don't know.. I have a feeling Bush has already checked out.
No doubt the GOP leaders are throwing a fit.

13. Check out? What does that mean? As in not alive anymore?
I have a fantasy....we go back and Bush does NOT win the election. 9/11 would not have happened and the war in Iraq would not have happened. My other fantasy is a bit darker and I'll get in trouble if I put it here.

15. Checked out, as in he's just running out the clock.
It's like the last two weeks of work after quitting a crappy job.

24. I think gwb has been 'checked' out for years
cheney calls the shots, with the infamous 'vast right-wing-conspiracy' behind him. clowns like bill kristol are still influential, and they want desperately to bomb iran. They are more like the person who has quit a crappy job and goes in and pisses on the boss's desk.

3. I'm not sure it would stop the bombing of Iran
They are above the law. They can do anything they want.

9. Their house of cards is falling...
With this book ~ and Obama's willingness to look into the legalities of what they've done ~ things have changed.

4. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone, polichick, in worrying about Bush and Iran.
I'm not convinced that McCain, Bush, Cheney, Lieberman and gang are not geared up to attack Iran in the late summer.

7. I truly believe they intended to do just that, but now they'll have to think again...
When asked if McClellan would testify against Bush, he didn't quite say no.

6. he already is talking about going into Iran isn't he?
I don't think Scott telling Olberman that people should be skeptical will make any difference at all. Most people (At least Democrats) already know the war was based on lies. Even if the American people are skeptical, there is nothing the American people could do about Bush going into Iran. I would not put it past Bush to bomb, bomb Iran on the last day of his Presidency.

10. does he have recordings does he have proof? Will the justice dept care?
Nothing is gonna happen. These are the same losers from nixon to Iran/Contra. They are above the law.

17. This can only snowball...never knew I'm be so
grateful to the one who was deemed "the bad liar" which is a good thing. I heard mary matalin called him a "liar"..and that's a good thing too considering the source.

25. I didn't need Scottie McMoonpie to tell me to be skeptical of Bush
And am I the only one who remembers that all this info came to light like a year ago? Scottie was making the rounds talking about all this shit in anticipation of the book coming out. I just find it funny all these pundits and politicians acting like, "We didn't know!, who could have imagined Bush was lying about Iraq?" The human race has a pitiful collective memory

30. I think the last INTEL estimate did that, but McClellan comments didn't hurt...
I just don't see that it was in the cards, as much as this administration wanted it. Pretty much EVERYONE would look at this as a "wag the dog" war that the Repubs were always blaming us for. Its sort of funny - here they do the same thing with Iraq.
