Pete Hoekstra was the Congressman that in 2006 advocated for the Bush administration to set up a web site because: the nations spy agencies had failed adequately to analyze the 48,000 boxes of documents seized since the March 2003 invasion.
With the public increasingly skeptical about the rationale and conduct of the war, the chairmen of the House and Senate intelligence committees argued that wide analysis and translation of the documents (cont)
(cont) most of them in Arabic (!) would reinvigorate the search for clues that Mr. Hussein had resumed his unconventional arms programs in the years before the invasion.
Considering the fact that the US military had already been in Iraq for several years, its obvious that the purpose for the web site was political. Another clearly egregious example of the GOPs putting politics over concerns of national security.
Hi imrwur2! Have not chatted for a while. Never liked Hoekstra. Always thought he was an asshole. To me it all boils down to this: The GOP are nothing but war mongers. I have heard Hoesktra speak, but no words really have to come out of his mouth to know that he is a lier. He is also disrespectful and hateful, typical Republicon! If I remember right, all the intelligence wasn't even in yet regarding WMD's when the the GOP was beating the drums of war for the invasion of Iraq. Con't.
Thank God in heaven we ousted the Republicans in the White House and Congress because at the end of the bushtard administration, they were beating the war drums to invade Iran. I can't even get my head around how the GOP's minds work. Good God Almighty. (It is 3:00 a.m., I am watching my nocturnal Grandaughter and my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, so excuse my spelling and other errors! Take care im4wur2! Have a great Friday!)
yeah, it's like maddow said: big brother needs to shape up and get it's act together. we gotta keep our blueprints for weaponry away from them arabs. if we hide all of our hi-tech diagrams, nobody will figure out how to kill us! let's throw some mud and evade some mud repeat and repeat and repeat forever and ever and ever. msnbc and fox. liberals and conservatives. 'rasslin for power. til death do us part. never gets old. my new brand of worldview is snarky shill. i imitate all her Maddowisms.

It's called 400 cray research supers intercepting ALL telecommunications in the world.Damn near everyone knows, especially those who are trying to hide their illegal activities. That includes this post, and the one you posted, Big f*cking nothing. F*ck this idiot, and the Patriot Act. Before that, it was "echelon", with the British. I don't care when its done to some "terrorist", but when HLS calls the vets coming home "terrorists", or the founding fathers "terrorists", you can kiss my ass. WTF.
I live 2 miles from Ft. Hood. Captured some local news early into the incident that varies wildly from the official story. From Kcen HD. Check it out on my channel.
Your a mental case! There is no journalism in America. government propaganda is more like it, and its been that way for years. The assclowns in DC are all on the same page and people like you buy their dog and pony show. You are ruining this country. distracted by all the pretty lights and buzzers you don't see the rug being pulled out from under you. Wake up! you are being punked by the insane clown posse on capital hill.
The spying on everyone of us has continued under this CHANGE of administration. It's not the only thing that hasn't changed, and we all know it. Some of us are not paying attention, or owning our decisions.
you're not keeping up the use of the NSA to spy on Americans inside the country has stopped further the patriot act as it is currently written is due to Sun set on 12 December of this year a small portion of the PA was retained by the Obama administration, however the articles that violated constitutional laws were removed...the articles that were a violation of our 4th amendment rights was removed by the Obama administration....nice staw-man but the grown ups in the room aren't buying it.
I can't decide if this is more hilarious or absolutely terrifying.

youtube stripped the quotes off:
the nations spy agencies had failed adequately to analyze the 48,000 boxes of documents seized since the March 2003 invasion.
That was the claim made and the justification used by Hoekstra and others for the creation of that idiotic web site.

Doesn't matter what this wingnut says.... judging from her ratings, she only has about 2 viewers who will ever hear it!
Advice to Rachel, if you want someone to actually WATCH your drivel-filled show, at least get a boob-job & wear some make-up on that sour-puss mug!

Aah... if only Republican ignorance could see the TRULY treasonous.
Bush, Cheney = CZARS
Obama = Church-going, McCain = NOT (though atheism still rightfully rules ALL)
Cheney = outing CIA agents with his and his boyfriend Bush's draft-dodging asses
In conclusion:
Repubicans = RETARDED
