Weirdly...
I was perusing my only-slightly-worn paperback copy of "Executive Orders" by Tom Clancy, the book which is the sequel to the novel-in-which-the-Capitol-is-struck-by-a-jetliner WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN 1996, (so Condi doesn't read this stuff apparently - ha ha tinfoil city!) and sure enough, on page 681, the NBC reporter outs Jack Ryan's covert operations on live national TV. Ryan warns him, "This has to stop, Tom. This has to stop right now..." and then, "When people talk about field operations in the open, real people can get killed. Do you understand that?"

Novak and his handlers in the Executive Branch didn't understand that either I guess.

Then it got me to thinking....

I've said for years that Rove and Co. took Men Kampf and implemented it, thus 9/11 and its aftermath. what if they also implemented the Clancy Books as well? The anthrax assault has an analogous subplot which is essential to "Executive Orders" and the notion of domestic terrorism by RW groups is also prominent.

But there's no Jack Ryan in the White House now...that's the problem with all of this scripting. More like the Marx Brothers...

Hail Fredonia!

2. Many years ago
the networks were covering Nixon's move back to L.A. after he lost the 1960 election. Grouchos was walking his dog and the radio interviewer grabbed him and asked him what he thought of Vice-President Nixon moving into his neighborhood. Groucho replied, "Better into here than into Washington, D.C."

6. The real question, though,
is how can you be two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all.

weeks or days.. that terrorists would attack with planes

they let it happen... to get power to make the richest of the disgusting rich richer. this is Chaney's doing.. * is just a wet brain alcoholic puppet..

Randie's theory is that they invaded to stop oil from iraq to raise the price of oil, so that the royal saud family could replace the money the princes squandered on american whores and casinos.. which pissed off Ossama.. the saudi citizens monthly oil money check went down about 80&% due to the princes debauchery and cavorting.. now it is way back up..diverting a civil war.. aren't you proud you helped the saudi royal family..

8. Tom Clancy is a dyed-in-the-wool Reagan Republican - regards Reagan as a Great President.
Edited on Sun Nov-18-07 11:19 AM by TahitiNut
As soon as I read the dedication to Reagan in the front of one of his books, I dropped it like the stinking turd that it is.

The recipients of Tom Clancy's poltical contributions include Duncan Hunter(!), Alan Keyes, Rick Lazio, Spencer Abraham, and Newt Gingrich. He's a FAR RIGHT whack-job.
