General discussion

Donald Rumsfeld, The CIA, NSA, and alphabet agencies

May 8, 2006 5:50PM PDT

Is there some new kind of scandal in the USA at the moment?

Caught a glimpse of Donald Rumsfeld on one of
the American news services and he looked like
he was yelling at people asking questions.

And they made mention of the FBI nd CIA in turmoil or falling apart.

Are they really in such a bad state?

What is really going on here guys? or have the
news services only spun their version of events?

It looked like they were trying to make it look
like he lied about the Iraq war...

When one removes all the layers of an onion it still stinks.

Apology accepted.

No apology was made nor will one be forthcoming...
May 12, 2006 12:02AM PDT

because I have nothing to apologize for.

Too bad you can't stay on topic. I answered all your concerns and you neither refuted nor acknowledged even ONE of my replies. Hmm. Who has a closed mind? I don't think there's any point to continuing this discussion.


Bye.

One down so many to go. Thanks again for your gracious apology. I will continue to listen to fox news to hear your message again. As Rush told me: Don't take drugs, let me take drugs.
Gotta go,chop more wood and look up the word hypocrisy.

just an aside
May 12, 2006 7:29AM PDT

calling you an ******* would be considered a "personal attack"...

responding to your points -1 through 10- in a manner not to your liking is not a "personal attack" by any means!


please, change your tune, or change your locale....

Just because some here have opinions that differ from yours, does not translate into their having ''locked minds''.

Their opinions are no more zeroed into one view or set in stone than yours.

It's called ''a difference of opinion''.

You claim being attacked. What I mostly see is those that differ arguing your message. You are attacking the messengers with the ''locked minds'' and taunting comments.

You were aware of what responses would be by your having to ''put a log on the fire''.

Actually, nobody here is smarter or better informed than everyone else. Some just reach different conclusions.
