The Partners Of Iran

   I'm sure that the military has thought about it, but does Bush understand that Iran has some pretty potent allies that may assist Iran if the United States attacks the country?

   When Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that he would retaliate against the U.S. if they attacked, he was not just mouthing off for the exercise.

   The Guardian

US stumbling in the Middle East has strengthened and emboldened Iran. On top of an array of patron-client relationships with powerful Shia groups, like Hizbullah in Lebanon, the Badr brigades and the Mahdi army in Iraq, Tehran has built a new layer of alliances with some more surprising partners among the Sunni jihadists. It has forged a relationship with Hamas in Gaza, and even appears to have developed links with the Taliban.

    I'm sure that the butthead in the White house knows these things unless he's still not reading the memos given to him, so I would say that bush is counting on some of the other groups coming to aid Iran after we bomb them. That way, " the decider " can attack a few other countries in the name of terrorism and democracy.

    What a freakin loser!

DoJ Teaching Hide The Documents From Congress?

   The Democrats have started some of their investigations and with some of their inquiries they have been getting stone-walled by the Department of Justice.

   Here is the DoJ  Mission Statement

    To enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.

   Someone must have forgot to tell them that when the Bush Crime Family came into office back in 2000 because we have had our 4th Amendment rights scrambled and now they want to protect us from the congressional oversight committees.

      It looks as if the Department of Justice is teaching other agencies how to sidestep the Congress with their questions and material request.

The Justice Department, which serves as legal counsel in court proceedings for other departments, has repeatedly gone beyond merely protecting its own actions from scrutiny. Even when Congress was in Republican hands, Justice Department officials advised other government departments on how to stonewall congressional review. These efforts now appear to be ramping up.  More Here

   This cannot be a good thing.

    Maybe we just need to trash both of these political parties and start all over from scratch with people who aren't lawyers and professional politicians.
