what else are they hiding?
in all the discussion about mc clellan's book, I have one major question. we knew the truth of just about everything in there (at least those who had access to more than the msm) so none of his book is a surprise. the liars, thugs, thieves and murderers of this maladministration knew, and had to approve, everything that was in the book. what ELSE has been going on that is so horrible, so unimaginable, that it isn't going to see print for years, possibly decades.

they aren't denying the claims in the book, are they? what is it they don't want us to see?

(from a book in the lord peter wimsey series, a comment: "beware the man who is looking you straight in the eye. he wants to prevent you from seeing something." in the context of politics, the admin and the media, this always means to me: beware the story that is occupying everyone's attention. what are they trying to hide?"

2. It's a Pandora's box.
Edited on Sat May-31-08 03:12 PM by liberalmuse
They've padded the figures, making the economy appear to be fine. It will likely collapse as soon as a Dem gets in the White House, but as usual, the Democratic President will fix everything, and around the 8-year mark, people will forget how good it was under a Dem and elect another 'pub. We've been going through this cycle since Hoover, and probably since before that. But let's focus on what we do know:

1. Bush authorized torture
2. Bush knew about the threat pre-911, yet did NOTHING
3. Bush lied about Iraq and his whole premise for war was based on concocted "intelligence"

We know all this, yet most Americans are content to do nothing. I'm convinced we could find out Bush and Cheney were raping babies in the White House basement and still, no one would bat an eyelash. Americans are probably the most fucked up people on the planet, and we've been taught since birth how to be global assholes.

4. I think a sex scandal would do it.
maybe if Bush, Rove and others (Scott) were literally in bed with Gannon

5. Busholini is a Silver Spoon Sociopathic, Simpleton.
1. Bush authorized torture
2. Bush knew about the threat pre-911, yet did NOTHING
3. Bush lied about Iraq and his whole premise for war was based on concocted "intelligence"
4. Bush approved of Illegal Spying on Americans

VP Cheney is guilty of all of the above, as well.

6. One thing they are hiding...
In my opinion, are the discussions that went on behind closed doors once it was determined that there were no WMDs to be found? How did they keep the war going? What would they say? Who was at the meeting? Rumsfeld? Rove? Cheney? Card? Bush? Condi? Mary Matalin? The whole group of them? They all conspired to lie to the American people after it was discovered there were no WMDs, would be my bet.

7. RIGHT...RIGHT...RIGHT---!!! That was Joe Wilson's question . . . !!!
And I think one of the things that so frightened them ---

Someone had the nerve to call them out on all their crap ---
and they needed to make sure that no one else would take the chance in doing that ---

Especially asking: "What else are they hiding?"
