Obama Continues Bush's Illegal Drone Surveillance

[ice grillin you]

how is this not treason?

The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency's director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.

no less treasonous than lying about going to war and murdering thousand of american soldiers...he should be in jail for that...and then should be tried for war crimes for all the iraqis slaughtered

scariest of all is that our country elected that administration TWICE

Shocking why?  This is a country that elected Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan twice, the second times by unparalleled landslides.

I'm astounded that power was peacefully transferred last January.  Fascist pigs.

Hell, I'd been arguing that for his whole presidency.  I think the only reason he didn't emulate Hitler's rise to power was he pissed off the military, and didn't have their full support.

Efforts to reach Mr. Cheney through relatives and associates were unsuccessful.

Really? You called his relatives? The former VP and you can't find him? If true he should be locked up at the least.

Compared to Palin?  Really?

[phillymic2000]

A Palin/Jeb ticket would completely demolish the pubs. What the hell, go for it!! Maybe a new party would come out and get rid of some of these dumbshteins.

I lived under Jeb for 8 years.  No mas!  No mas!

One thing I can say for Jeb is that he stood up to his brother and President Cheney and steadfastly opposed off shore drilling.

[Diomedes]

Wasn't he also a driving force in the deal to get that sugar factory and all the land around it back into public hands so the keys wouldn't suffer even further damage?  That was an important step towards preserving a pretty important natural wonder.

He seems to have gotten much better genes than his brother.

[MadMarchHare]

His brother is a mongoloid, so that's not saying much.

Still, if Geo'd rather have Palin than Jeb, that's pretty scathing.

that was in 2000 when he was in a fight for re-election and florida was a huge swing state for his brothers presidential bid...they both jointly announced no drilling in fla for votes

last year he said he would consider drilling off florida....he also supports anwar drilling

[rjs246]

I can't imagine caring less about drilling for oil. Do it. Don't do it. Whatever.
