Remember this? March 2009 Hersh: Cheney left a stay-behind?

<snip>

HERSH: I’ll make it worse. I think he’s put people left. He’s put people back. They call it a stay behind. It’s sort of an intelligence term of art. When you leave a country and, you know, you’ve driven out the, you know, you’ve lost the war. You leave people behind. It’s a stay behind that you can continue to contacts with, to do sabotage, whatever you want to do. Cheney’s left a stay behind. He’s got people in a lot of agencies that still tell him what’s going on. Particularly in defense, obviously. Also in the NSA, there’s still people that talk to him. He still knows what’s going on. Can he still control policy up to a point? Probably up to a point, a minor point. But he’s still there. He’s still a presence.

1. Gives me the shivers.....
as well, the way the media is portraying this as another 9/11.....

just think if something was to happen where someone was fatally harmed.

Cheney knows this.
He's setting it all up for the real thing.
this was his "test" trial run.

2. I've read too many Ludlum and Clancy novels to NOT believe this is not just possible, but probable.

10. Another 911
And yet President Bush became a hero when his intelligence failures led to 911, but President Obama sucks because of a failed terror attack.

Media

4. Cheney continues to run afoul of law.
Obama needs to clean up the mess left behind so we can move forward. Cheney is evil and needs to be in jail. Get Cheney and the rest will start singing their asses off. Bush is awfully quiet. IMO Obama doesn't want to go after Bush but in order to get Cheney he has to get them both. That's just my opinion. Someone is talking to Lizzie too.

5. What would thrill me is during the meeting POTUS declares to the
PTB that he wants ALL of those bush/cheneybots removed. Today, by 6 p.m. Get them outta there NOW! I also read a lot of covert material and this scenario seems very plausible to me. People who say Obama is "afraid" of these guys..I don't think so. He "thinks" before he speaks, but when he does speak I hope he cleans out the left-over garbage. Just my opinion.

6. Intelligence failure
I just read an OP about the administration investigating whether the Christmas Day terrorist plot (panty bomber) resulted from a DELIBERATE terror failure.

Does Cheney want terrorism? To quote a beloved Republican sage "You Betcha".

8.  A while back Ed Schultz said Cheney wanted another
terrorist attack. He flipped under pressure from the thugs. I wonder did he really mean what he said? I think, yes.

9. I recall Ed saying that
And I agreed with him then and I agree with the premise now.

13. I remember this evil POS
Michael Scheuer on Fox: America's only hope is for OBL to attack us again.

14. I wish people would pay more attention
I wish the media would make more of a fuss when their real thoughts and beliefs slip through like that.

12. I doubt he had to leave a stay behind. There are undoubtedly many who agree with the likes of Cheney
in all of the "intelligence" agencies.
