| Ex CIA Boss James Woolsey has egg on his Face |
| 05.24.04 (2:01 pm) [edit] |
|
While on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer, former CIA director and Neo Con thinker James Woolsey, who calls the war on terrorism World War 4, the Third World War being the Cold War, blamed the CIA and The Statement Department for the lack of troops in Iraq. Come again you say? Was it not Rummy and crew that insisted on a small force. Woolsey said that the CIA and the State Department refused to back a plan that would have provided the Department of Defence Plan with the millions needed to form an army of thousands of Iraqi ex pats, akin to De Gaulle’s Free French, led by Ahmed Chalabi. Wipe the egg from your face Mr. Woolsey. While the recent arrest of Chalabi proves that the Free French comparison was never a good one, it was however apt in one respect. Like De Gaulle, Chalabi has turned out to be a royal pain in the ass. |

You are right that the Defense Dept (and the arrogant buffoons who aren't the geniuses that they told us they were... Rummy, Wolfowitz, Feith, Bolton: traitors who should be arrested & tried for treason) viciously attacked General Shinsheki & others for suggesting that their troop levels were too low... I've heard alot of LIES by the neo-cons recently... Especially those who pretend that America normally "foots the bills" for warfare... Go back & you'll find that Baby Bush's Iraq Fiasco has cost us now TWICE what Poppy Bush's Gulf War cost (and in Poppy Bush's war, other nations paid 90% of the cost-- over $60 Billion, while the US paid $6-7 Billion)-- In this war, we're paying over $114 Billion and no end in sight, and because Bush treated the rest of the world like SHIT, the only contribution has been Britain footing about $6 Billion in total...
