Woodward Has Tried to Save the Bush Family Before

[The Whiskey Priest]

Woodward’s first attempt at pulling the Bush family’s bacon from the fire was when he had a comatose Bill Casey, who was hours or minutes from death, whisper to him a confession of being the sole architect and engineer of the Iran-Contra fiasco. Had that been true it would have taken Ronnie and Papa Bush off the griddle for Iran-Contra

Of course you also remember the Casey family called Woodward a LIAR.

1. Did The Bringing Down Of Nixon In Watergate Benefit In Some Way......

Bush 41?

[goclark]

6. And 41 would have also become President

if Hinkley had killed Reagan.

I recall reading that Hinkley's brother? was to have dinner the evening of the shooting with his "family friend" Neil/Marvin Bush.

I found that such a coincidence. Especially with his CIA experience.

9. the bringing down of Nixon

was his job. he did his job.

he then was elevated, and entered the fancy pants circles, and like Palpatine said,

"All those who gain power are afraid to lose it."

He is a shadow of the man he was in his youth, bent and twisted, more machine than man.

2. Oh, RIGHT!!!

I had forgotten about that!

Bless your blessed little head, Priest. That was so absurd, since Casey's brain was, at that point, total dust.

Oh, this needs to be nominated.

Thank YOU!

3. You know, it all keeps coming back to the SEE AYE EH!!!!!

We've got Casey, CIA, whispering to Woodward.

We've got "Slam Dunk" Tenet, being blamed for giving bad intel to the Monkey....and then getting a MEDAL.

We have Valerie Plame, outed--and we all know where she works!!

The Monkey puts his enforcer, Porter Goss, in there, and he starts firing people left and right, reassigning people from Iraq/Afghanistan responsibilities to filing jobs....

We have rumors within rumors that a person or persons over there are leaking like hell.

There's a faction over there that is at war with the Monkey. Woodward, though, is on the CIA Monkey Team...

I swear, I do not think that agency has been mentioned in the press this much since their establishment...they seem to bubble up, like a fart in the bathtub, with alarming frequency......!!!

4. Excellent find. Sent to KO. There is a lot more to Woodward's

involvement with this , as well as watergate than meets the eye!

[grasswire]

5. and Tenet's "Slam Dunk" remark

...which I now suspect was Woodward's fabrication meant to fully compromise Tenet.

[mod mom]

7. wow, I didn't realize that was from Woodward's book (link:)

Woodward: Tenet told Bush WMD case a 'slam dunk'

14. Woody has left a little paper trail huum nt

[mod mom]

12. Hmmh...Woodward is always noted as the source of that "slam dunk" quote:

Funny, it's always reported that Bob Woodward is the source of the Tenet "slam dunk" quote:

It’s a slam-dunk case,” Tenet replied, according to a recent book by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5129314/

Woodward writes in the book, "The presentation was a flop. The photos were not gripping. The intercepts were less than compelling. And then George Bush turns to George Tenet and says, 'This is the best we've got?'"

Says Woodward: "George Tenet's sitting on the couch, stands up, and says, 'Don't worry, it's a slam dunk case." And the president challenges him again and Tenet says, 'the case it's a slam dunk.'"

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/18/iraq/main612453.shtml

In journalist Bob Woodward's recent book, "Plan of Attack," Tenet is quoted telling Bush that intelligence supporting Iraq's weapons programs was a "slam-dunk." (Woodward: Tenet told Bush WMD case a 'slam dunk')

8. Excellent insight! Baghdad Bob Woodward

has been interceding on behalf of *'s and their corrupt agendas for decades. The bushs' hired flack is from the Washington Post of the 41 and 43 presidencies. Baghdad Bob Woodward is the oldest and longest working whore in Washington. :yoiks:

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. Woodward, for all the good he did re Watergate....

is a lifelong repuke. He is from the western Chicago suburbs, and DuPage County is a longtime bastion of Republicans....although I have met DU members from there, too. Woodward's father was a conservative repuke judge out there. The apple didn't fall very far from the tree.

[LaPera]

11. Woodward has never done jackshit if it didn't promote Woodward! Including

Watergate!!!!

He sure as fuck didn't do it because of moral ideology...he's a fucking republican and did it to make a name (as it did) for himself...and look at tnhe prick now...the fucking right-wing pig...

Looking to make a some nice big bucks helping and protecting Bush...What the fuck, does Woodward expect a seat on the Carlyle Group board?

[goclark]

13. Carlyle here he comes, betcha! Poppy in the middle

again.


The CIA/Poppy/Woodward connection has been going on for a long, long time.


My mind still keeps going back to that Larry King interview when he did the put down of the Fitzgerald case. He was so angry and mean with his answer.

I bet that was an example of the real Woody, the one that is a real neocon.
Edit for a new thought: Do you think that Poppy was the person that told Woody about Plame?

Could Poppy have given the Chimp permission to tell Woody about Plame?

Doesn't Poppy still get the daily written CIA briefings? Isn't he the only ex President to even ask to receive those briefings?

Why does he still need them, at his age he needs to cool it.

[leftofthedial]

15. he was George HW's man during Watergate

which was about the neocons taking out the old repuke leadership, not about uncovering crime in the WH.

[blm]

16. EXACTLY right. They handpicked Woodward to plant at the WashPost.

He gets the Watergate story FOUR MONTHS after starting there?

Oh Puhleeze! It was such an obvious set up. They needed Nixon out - he wasn't fascist enough for them.
