LIBBY NEVER EXISTED---WHAT NEXT------IF I WERE HIM I WOULD STICK CLOSE TO HOME

Wow!  What a great and enlightning story.  I had no idea that senate had the ability to completely erase something from the record.  It makes you wonder what ELSE has been stricken from the books. I appreciate you for bringing this to the attention of the American people.  Great work, Ken.  Great work.

they really are children.  


is it any wonder their approval rating is lower than Richard Nixon's or Jimmy Carter's ever was?

Libby would be safer away from his home. Liberals think they have the right to go to people's houses, and chase them into their own garages. That's what happened to Rove.

MY GOD!  Sure am glad we have the right to bear arms.
Never going to let THEM erase me!

Looks like the Senators are in need of a recess.

Thank you Mr. Strickland for re-enforcing my belief that congress is just wasting our time and money.  How do we cut off their funds?

Its a trade. Terry Schaivo for Scooter Libby. While we are about inserting measures into bills that ''have nothing to do with Education'',perhaps FIRST READ can regale us as to why the US Dept.of Energy gunned down another inserted rider by Jack Murtha that would have allowed another million to go to his already bloated defense contractor pals in Pennsylvania, or why there is a drastic need for more millions of our dollars going to teacup museums,and studying interterrestrial alien life. Oh. And while FIRST READ is about it,they can explain to me what the funding for the study of vaginal diseases has to do with getting it from Defense appropriations monies,which are supposed to go to Iraq. Or Homeland Security port security monies, of which a boatload went to protect the all-important piers of Marthas Vinyard,Mass. Mebbe the jihadis are not big fans of Carly Simon. Who knows?

This really tops the cake.  Anyone willing to criticize the Bush Admin. (most of the country including both dem. and rep. presidential candidates) should "zoom out" and look at the overal issues with politics in America.  It really churns my stomach thinkting about how immature politics can be.

I was watching some of this, do you know what time this supposed vote took place? I do not recall seeing it.

Carrie: "Looks like the Senators are in need of a recess."

They were up all night the other day.  

I hope someone is keeping track of all the executive orders the president is giving and how many times he is invoking executive privelege and for what reasons.

Gimme a break ...

And all those signing statements.

the republicans cant face the futre or the past and are in fear of today.I feel sorry that americans hate each other in this day and age more love for ones family and the family of man is what is needed and that is what i send to yopu all my brothers and sisters  PEACE forgive them god for they know not what they do

That's what happens when George steps out for a few minutes. If George says something didn't happen, it didn't happen. Even God can't change the past. But George can. Praise George! Huh Dave? And one more thing. Why are the fruitcakes in the media keeping us up to date on Harry Potter? Does anybody on this board except Dave care about Harry Potter? When Harry Potter gets married to Tinky Winky, then you can let me know about Harry Potter.

With all the money to be made,.............good salaries, graft,...and not even taking the great health and pension plans into consideration,....one would think we could attract better people to the position of 'Senator'.

I can see Reid on the Capital steps if this country is ever invaded.  He's be throwing pens at the enemy and blocking their way with non-binding referendums.
It would probably be pretty effective.

JIrby Haven't had time to keep up on Harry Potter been too busy watching CIA satellites trained on melting icebergs Those democrats are going to save us from GoreBull warming. BTW glad to see you still around after the news out of the capitol building in Colorado. Figured you Cho'd out.

wow JIrby.  you have issues


and besides, everyone knows people in Tennessee don't read books ;-)

Funny there is little or nothing here about our legislators sounding like a bunch of little kids trying sort out who's "it".

Desmond:  So far, Bush has a ways to go to catch up with Clinton on invoking executive privilege and he's just barely ahead of Washington and Jefferson.  Do you know what Bush invoked executive privilege on for the first time in 2001?  Look it up.

I'm sure the Democrats will keep bringing up bogus issues just to even things up by the time he leaves office.

Sorry, looked closer and see that several of you did notice that the legislators are acting like kids.  Apologies.

i did not know from the view point of an Ex-Marine that TREASON was forgettable, like operation cyclone, when we armed the enemy and was warned at the time we were creating a Frankenstein, will also disapere, as it was yet another mistake made, never to learn from!
Wake up and give Bush a no confidence vote so his mouth cannot betray this country again

so does this mean everything Libby has done, or ever will do, does not happen, or never did pass or happen. Would this not be great to see, a man who does not exsist. wow just like all us veterans hu

Richard bogus this and try to forget if you can Frankenstein, oh ya you did not serve, not here, not with me!They will try to remove this as its only been public info for less than a year!

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States CIA program to arm Islamic mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, 1979-1989. The Program relied heavily on using the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) as an intermediary for funds distribution. Along with similar programs from Britain's MI6 and SAS, Saudi Arabia and other nations, the opponents to the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan collectively trained over 100,000 insurgents between 1978 and 1992. Somewhere between $3-$20 billion in US funds were funneled into the country to train and equip troops with weapons, including Stinger surface-to-air missiles.

The favored leader amongst the Afghan resistance fighters was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. His tactics became increasingly violent and aimed towards civilian populations, including shelling Kabul with American-supplied weapons, causing 2,000 casualties. According to a Newsweek article, in the late 1980s, Pakistani President Benazir Bhutto, concerned of the growing strength of Islamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, "You are creating a Frankenstein." Hekmatyar was said to be friendly with Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, who was running a similar Arab logistical organization concurrent to Operation Cyclone, called Maktab al-Khadamat (MAK). The US asserts that all of its funds were used to supply native Afghan rebels, and denies that any of its funds were used to supply Osama bin Laden or foreign Arab mujahideen. It is estimated that 35,000 foreign Muslims from 43 Islamic countries also take part in the war.[1][2][3][4] (See: Al-Qaeda: Origins in Maktab al-Khadamat

Nobody:  You need to complain to the operators of this blog.  They are putting your posts under the wrong topic.  This one is about the Senate erasing a vote.

"He who controls the past controls the present.  He who controls the present controls the future."  G. Orwell, 1984.  Can we expunge the Bush years, too, while we're at it, and keep the Clinton Surplus, peace and prosperity?

Nobody USA. The only thing people around here will find new about that is that Carter started the mess. Other than that it's not like we created them. They've been acting like that for 1400 years. The present is the history.

Nobody too often forgets the Iran-Contra scandal or misdirection from Mr Reagan, as we all who can remember. Carter did not have a min to blow his own nose. Yes the hostages, who we were warned, were taken during Carter, but it was the man who forgot who made deals to get them back! As you can see something new-not-we were warned we were next, and low and behold we were! Arrogence had everything to do with it! If 1 man can train 5 in the US military. How many do you believe were taught by 100,000 in the middle-east, or should I just say in the One and Only real enemy the Taliban! We today forgot all lessons from those days! We fight and die for the wrong people, in the wrong place, looking for a man who is not even close to where we are. It amazes me why 40,000 troops did what 2.5 million WOULD not do [not could not]for themselves if life was so bad. No your right we did not create them, we fine tuned them with an education from the Best fighters in the entire World, Special Forces USMC from the Nam era, and teaching INSURGENTS with MARINES is a mistake we have made more than once sir! Now you know why they are winning and we are dieing in the streets, they learned, what our boys there never knew! History repeats once again!

Richard, new to this blog?Posters change topics all the time. Whether or not they are relevant depends on the interpretation of the person who is reading the post.

The moral of all my tid bits is:
History is written by the victor: now you know why our childred are educated stupid, compared to the worlds standard!We erase, or hype what we see as what it should be, and we have history! Example: Vietnam WAR? Did we change the fact that we never declared war, as it was a peace keeping action. So our children run blindly into a patriotic repeat. No Disrespect to the Veterans of that conflict what so ever! Is this something we are going to chose to omit from our history books in 5-10 years too? So our grandchildren repeat it over again? Or great great [if we as man survives that long]grandchildren? History should be an exact so we don't repeat mistakes, that's our first mistake too. Libby should stay in the books seeing he saw no jail time!

Now erase the Iraq war authorization!

The Taliban didn't exist during the Afghan/Soviet set to, they emerged in the mid ninties and they came to power by attacking the very Afghani tribes that had beaten the Soviets.
Whatever weaponry the US may have giving anti-Soviet fighters was long ago worn out or used up, if you'll note none of the Taliban or al-Qu'ida use American weapons, all use Soviet surplus and Iranian weaponry.

I guess we should build a time machine and go back to whack Bin Laden before he became our enemy, might as well strangle Hitler in his crib while we are at it.

As for the Democrats, till they got their illusion of majority they used to hide in the basement having playtime tribunals and such like Star Trek fans, what a bunch of nerds.
The main reason they've consentrated on undermining the administration is that it diverts attention from the fact that they are worthless.
Also winning a war takes work while legislating defeat takes the stroke of a pen. They are too lazy to win, losing is their idea of an easy way out of responsibility.

After reading this board. I can see we don't read vary well or somthing.  The story was about the removal from the record of a failed vote not scooter libby. Mr. Reid was hoping to save the dems some embarassment. but this reporter that down and added to it by exposing the records tampering!

Sick of Washington - Oh, I just caught on, you like Harry Potter.

"The moral of all my tid bits is:
History is written by the victor: now you know why our childred are educated stupid, compared to the worlds standard!"
The reason your Children are educated stupid is precisely because our educational system has chosen to all but eliminate US history from the curiculum in order to comply with the so-called World Standard. Other countries found that by concentrating on certain subjects , while downplaying or eliminating others, they could raise a nation of cyphers who did as they were told, good little robots.

US and World history are a mystery to young people of today, that's why trash like Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States has become the bible of the leftwing.
Its also why I've had to explain to supposedly educated people that Ramsey Clarke is a loon, anyone who's read a newspaper would know that.

I don't mind an honest democrat, there are a few in my family. But geez the crop of losers out there making the most noise act like six year olds at their worst. It must be something in the water or fast foods, they can't all be potheads, though when you think on it maybe most of them are.
