Thanks to Gateway Pundit:A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase inside that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counterterrorism collaboration with the United States.The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on where the Predator aircraft patrolling Pakistan take off and land.At a hearing, Feinstein expressed surprise at Pakistani opposition to the ongoing campaign of Predator-launched CIA missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets along Pakistan's northwest border."As I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base," she said of the planes.The basing of the pilotless aircraft in Pakistan suggests a much deeper relationship with the United States on counterterrorism matters than has been publicly acknowl...

Cable TV: Fools Rush In
2008-06-06 12:13:00 Update: NBC's Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" just had her standup in front of Hillary's house interrupted by a garbage truck's trash compactor. Garbage in, garbage out...Did you witness the absurd heights of Tee Vee news mouth-foaming last night as the media locusts swarmed around Hillary Clinton's multimillion dollar DC digs believing Barack Obama was inside? CNN's Anderson Cooper covered the stake out with endless speculation from guest talking heads about 1) What does it mean if he walks out alone? 2) Shouldn't they exit the house and wave? 3) Why is Obama there? 4) Is Bill Clinton inside? 5) What does it all MEAN? 6) What are they talking about? 7) Is he offering her the VP slot? We're talking 10 p.m. and CNN kept using a shot of Hill's pad in daylight while veteran political reporter Candy Crowley decamped in the night shadows. CNN's hour of speculation was the cable Tee Vee version of Jerry Seinfeld's "show about nothing." O, the absurdity of it all. It wa...

Thanks Senator Feinstein For Giving Us Michael Mukasey
2007-12-19 00:37:00 Is anyone really surprised that Mukasey is trying to delay congressional inquiries into the CIA’s destruction of interrogation videotapes? Or that the DOJ is trying to get U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy to “stay out of the matter” Mukasey is nothing more than another Alberto Gonzales, but this time, with some intelligence. Back in November I

Senator Dianne Feinstein Failed Us!
2007-11-14 04:49:00 Our Senator, Dianne Feinstein, has been ignoring us for far too long.

Dianne Feinstein is a Big Fat Pig: Congressional Pork-barrel Spending/ Ear
2007-09-05 02:39:00 While the Democrats promised to clean up Congress, Nancy Pelosi and her ilk are letting the American people down miserably. Still, the MSM refuses to inform the public how corrupt the Democrats are. Instead, they would rather focus on a bathroom incident as the Democrats destroy our treasury worse than the Republicans ever did.If we review the numbers, the amount of pork-barrel spending and earmarks are out of control. Not only does Dianne Feinstein funnel money to her husband?s business with Iraq War funds, she spends more of our money than any other Congressman. Senator Dianne Feinstein raked in $382.3 Million, Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., ate away at $186 Million, Barbara Boxer tore her ?fair share? of $152.5 Million, Nancy Pelosi used her good ethics to spend $141.3 Million, Rep. David Obey, D-Wis. rang up $96 Million, and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., brought in $85.5 Million. Well, at least Nancy Pelosi allowed a bunch of children to sit on her lap in front of Co... |
