Michael Ledeen, American Enterprise Institute freedom scholar: "Ask yourself who the most powerful people in the White House are. They are women who are in love with the president: Laura , Condi, Harriet Miers, and Karen Hughes."

5. Michael Ledeen is a disinformationist of the first water.

Mine his sage-like sayings for psyops, but don't believe a word of it. (Why would he say this? Why would be want people to believe it? Who is he pointing AWAY from? Who is he at war with in the WH? What would be the advantage to black ops perps like Ledeen, or those who have employed him--Rumsfeld, for instance--of dissing the intelligence of these women, or of others who may be counseling, for instance, no invasion of Iran?)

Ledeen is a compadre of some real bad actors--Chalabi, for one, and the notorious Iran/Contra arms dealer, Manucher Ghorbanifar. What this crowd was cooking up at the Rome 2001 meeting--where many believe that the Iran/Niger nuke forgeries were concocted--may have involved more than forgeries. There are little drips and bits of evidence pointing to a grander scheme--to plant WMDs in Iraq, after the invasion, and to have them traceable to Iran, and thus perhaps to send U.S. forces right on across the border into Iran, sparking a Mideast-wide war back in 2003.

This is the sort of thing that Micheal Ledeen does. He manufactures war. So, if cooler heads have prevailed in the WH, he may be very nettled at them. This sexist comment may merely be revealing his opinion (and also Rumsfeld's opinion) of anyone who may be balking at yet more mass murder, or who sees the reality that the U.S. really isn't the biggest dick in the world after all.

Also, "in love with Bush" may simply mean, trying to protect Bush's presidency--or his reputation, or legacy, or whatever--against total meltdown from the likes the Rumsfeld and Ledeen. Bush is a mean little psychopath, and has gone along with all the death and destruction--selling his soul for illusionary power--but I will say this about him: he is a bona fide idiot. And jackals like Rumsfeld and Cheney have most certainly been using him as fronticepiece for massive thievery and gluttonies of bloodshed and horror. It's pathetic and sickening. They probably also have dossiers on Bush and can out him on dozens of crimes, if needed. It doesn't surprise me that viper women like Hughes and Condi are attracted to this situation. Who knows what games they may be playing? It's quite interesting how Ledeen frames it. Just don't take it at face value.

11. Look at Perle's and Adelman's statements and even Hitchens' earlier.

These filthy remora are setting the stage for leeching onto the next administration by distancing themselves from this one. They're trying to maintain credibility when they lost any last shred of it when the US invaded Iraq.

13. What A Misogynist Weenie

First he does his best to cause havoc in the world in the name of neocon "morality" (an oxymoron of the highest order) then when caught out he tries to blame women. I suppose Harriet Miers was with him in Italy with Rhodes and Franklin, when they were dealing with SISMI and trying to get the Niger forgeries in order? It is fitting that Berlusconi is going to be put on trial and Ledeen and his cronies should be too.
