#1 Democrats ask Bush for intelligence

Sorry you guys wouldn't know what to do with it. And judging by recent actions on immigration and the budget, GW is running low.

#5 They want the intelligence so they can leak it to the press to undermine the US effort to stop Iran.

Hang 'em!

#6 Sorry - we don't supply intel to the enemies of the United States. It just seems like a real stupid idea. sorry.

#7 Assuming they can read, what more would they need than Iran's own public statements? Damn seditious morons...

#8 Two Words:

Canary Trap.

Followed quickly by indictments.

Heh.

#9 ROFL - great comments!

BTW, shouldn't that be concerned American Legislators, instead of Democrats?

I'm just sayin, since we're at war and all.

#10 Canary Trap would be great in normal times, but doing it now would result in great amounts of seething at the NYT, WaPo, CNN, the DNC ...

... oh right, that's a feature not a bug. Thanks OS.

#11 "Democrats ask Bush for intelligence update on Iran"

Americans ask Democrats to show some intelligence, period.

Guess who'll get their request answered first?

(Any doubt about Democrats' intelligence? See New Orleans, latest mayoral election. See Senate Minority "Leader" Reid, "Spanish-speakers are too stupid to learn English." 'Nuff said.)

#12 No problem, give them some fake stats and see how soon and which donk leaks them. Then as soon as they're leaked the feds can prosecute them for making sensitive material public knowledge - case closed.

#13 OS and Broadhead6---I am in total agreement with your sentiments about leaking intelligence. Unfortunately, we do not presently have the leadership with the will to prosecute those who leak intelligence. That is the sad truth. Look at the gloved hands treatment that Sandy Burgler got for his underwear stuffing incident. A fine, probation, and 3 years with his security clearance suspended---not revoked---suspended, fergawdsake. Sheeit, man. If you and I did that, we would be playing rock hockey in the big arena for years, have a big fine hanging over our heads, and would never be allowed to vote again (except in Chicago, New York, and Florida, heh).

We need some spine growing supplements to put in their food, or something. The cancer grows because the body is not strong. The cancer is always there, and always will be.

#14 Should read:
Enemy agents formerly known as democrats, in an unusual attempt to gain knowledge of the depth of intel the CIA has on Iran, asked for a briefing from the clumsy Bush administration.

#15 A universal truth: Only bold harsh action, unapologetically ruthless action, is actually respected. Anything less is correctly perceived as weakness.

This isn't brutality or even incivility, it is reality. Truly, humans learn no lasting lesson that is not steeped in wild pleasure or raw pain. Anything less invites continued perfidy and rebellion - and eventual overthrow.

#16 Why ask for a briefing when you already know the answer?

#17 So you can write a letter against the contingency actions you know may be needed, and then use that letter to criticize the administration later.

#18 The left just doesn't want Bush to undo the crown jewel of Jimmy Carter's foreign policy.
