Surely this can't be true.  Is this reporter/ezine credible?  Frankly, I hope not.  I mean, I want Dubya gone as much as the next guy.  But this story is so troubling that I hope it is fiction.  If true, arrggh.

just a rant, much like Newsmax on the right!  If OTOH there is merit to the article, well, Kerry is looking more and more like the lesser of two evils in this election.  Where the fuck is John McCain!!!

  And he is surrounded by very intelligent people who know Bush is a complete idiot.  Only and only in this admin could you have a bunch of political cronies(neo-CONS) get information from a bunch of exiles(INC) and have it passed of as intelligence.  
  Its completely mind boggling how Feith and Perle managed to pass on excrement from Chalabi to higher ups.  Chalabi was a fucking EXILE.  How the fuck can a person who has been in exile for years possibly have any credible information at all about the damn country.  How is that humanly fucking possible.  Simply fucking unbeliebvable.  If Bush had half a brain cell, he would have asked that same damn question.  But he was determined to carry out revenge for pappy and fulfill Biblical prophecy.

I have never heard of the person who wrote the article that was linked.  The article seems a bit too slanted for my comfort (I feel my stomach getting queasy....arrrgghhhrraffh).  In my way of seeing events it is just as bad as the stuff that some people from the irresponsible right writes or broadcasts.  
    Bring me the same information from a reliable, verifiable source and then maybe I will begin to believe it.

When it comes to a single report, I'm in the agnostic camp of being able to neither "confirm nor deny" the above web story.

It is, however, of interest the way George Tenet's resignation was announced by George W., almost as an afterthought. In the old days (i.e., last year), this administration would have had everything carefully scripted, with a backdrop consisting of a repeating two-word 'motif' (I guess we average Americans can't keep more than two words in our brain at the same time), and then the inevitable talking-heads reading from their well-rehearsed scripts. One might think it would have made sense for George W. to wait until after the 9/11 commission report to fire Tenet, and then serve him up as the sacrificial lamb as part of a house-cleaning.

So, it's entirely possible that the CIA director was fired off the cuff by George W. for something Tenet said at a meeting. These are, afterall, not exactly heady times for the George W. administration. The outing of Valerie Plame (CIA deep cover operative) has necessitated George W. hiring an outside attorney, and who knows how deeply involved W. is in all this. Then too, George W. is going hat-in-hand back to the U.N. for a new Security Council resolution for Iraq, at exactly the same time that the U.N. wants to conduct an independent investigation as to whether Coalition forces have committed war crimes.

Given all of the stress that George W. is under, where I would start to worry is if God starts to talk directly to him. At any rate, this administration is leaking like a sieve (i.e., O'Neill, Clarke, Wilson, and soon, probably, Tenet), so we should be getting additional corroboration soon, if in fact W. is really cracking up.

OK , so its a repost from a column from The New Republic written by Michelle Cottle, and it's not exactly the SAME information, but it does lend credibility to Puck's post.

GW Bush is playing around too much with a mix of Church & State for my taste, I've read Bush's faith-based executive orders, and can't really figure out just what he intends to accomplish with it, but read it for yourself ...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/orders/

and  

http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/

... there are a few executive orders regarding the matter, you'll need to pick them out.
Notice that his VERY 1st action was a religious executive order.


Also, Doug Thompson, ( http://www.dougthompson.com/ ) the guy that wrote the article in Pucks post, seems to be a credible long time photo-journalist ?
his bio = http://politicslive.com/dtbio.asp
but he has also retracted articles in the past, so ?
