So who leaked that top secret memo regarding Maliki?

[Skidmore]

I'd lay odds on Baker and the boys that Poppy sent in. I think they are kneecapping Junior. He's over there thinking he can do the sameoldsameold and they cut him off. Made it impossible for him to stay the course. Made his stay the course rhetoric look stoooopid.

Junior is toast, and so is Cheney. That Cheney would crawl his decrepit old hide over to Saudi Arabia sez volumes about his status too. Cheney is quail.

1. "leaks" are bullshit.

These are staged events used to misinform or send a message or some other nefarious bullshit. Real leaks result in prison sentences.

2. I just hope Bush and Cheney last until January

and then President Pelosi can really clean house.

3. Rumsfeld's last order ... Take this over to the NYT's ..n/t

4. Is This All Part Of A Plan?........

1. Leak the memo
2. Snub in Jordan by pissed off Iraqi President
3. Iraqi Deal with Iran
4. Iraq Asks U.S. to withdraw
5. U.S. Withdraws
6. * says 'Mission Accomplished' - we made them a democratic society, they made their decision, we are complying and we pull out.

5. You nailed it. That's PRECISELY the idea.

The Democracy asked them to leave, and they left, declaring victory as they went.

The hope is that people on this side of the pond will take THAT point with them as they travel down history's lane, forgetting about the dissing going on right now...

But it's the only way that Monkey can salvage this disaster.

6. That would make sense. I just know something smells to

high heaven here. That Hadley's name is on it is room for concern too. Neocon worm that he is.
