Lee Hamilton Screwed up Irangate
Letting North, Reagan, Bush I and the rest of the mob off. Bob Kerry (I've gone to Nebraska and people think I a right-wing nut case). Now ask yourself ---is this not the Warren Commission all over?

Oswald acting alone -------- Clinton’s fault. Bush is the hero.

1. duh........why do you think he's on the panel?
he was a DISGRACE during Iran/Contra, as almost all the dems were

they ALLOWED a time limit, which let them stall away, til the time expired....that was that

why do you think Gorelick is on the panel?

why is Silberman on the panel?

why is Zelikow on the panel?

I'm very surprised they allowed RB-V on.

Roemer, either

3. One out of how many aint bad. Makes for a good show trial.
RB-V only has five minutes, not much time compared to the rest of the hour of softball questions.

2. Was on the phone with a friend earlier today....
...who made the same comparison to the Warren Commission. The 9/11 commission is a whitewash, a re..... (ER!!! correcting myself) a ploy to get numbnuts elected.

I had been thinking of the similarities myself. The Iran-Contra hearings ended up a total FUBAR.

7. howEVER, Clarke, I hope, will become the GOOD Ollie North
Edited on Wed Mar-24-04 10:21 PM by buycitgo
if it turns out right, the junta will be hoist on their own smearmachine petard, and Clarke will become an actual hero, rather than that drugsmuggling, Salvadoran murdering FILTH that North is

I could go on about El Salvador.......my brother has a post Iran/Contra connection to that (very sad/happy at the same time), so I can only wish the most horrid Karmic reward for that indescribably EVIL thug North

he has MUCH blood on his hands

6. Hamilton and Biden agreed with the Rethugs
that they would not allow the Iran/Contra investigations to implicate Reagan or Bush I. Both Hamilton and Biden are still active undercutting the Democrats at every opportunity.
