Corrosive Negativity

Again, for about the umpteenth time, I marvel at the quality of your readership. With the possible exception of Mr. Emde, your people have wondrous, incisive ability to nail it, absolutely!

Thom Bateman especially, and the others commenting on the NIE debacle, terrific comments. And the repercussions with the inept president -- the guy who not only retained George Tenet for 'way too long, but then awarded the clown with a medal? My God! Dubya repeatedly embarrasses himself, and we haven't even touched in his subservient attitude toward Mexico and the border/illegal immigration...

We have, what, sixteen different "intelligence" groups, all vying for some semblance of respectability thru the making of some proper predictions?

But they don't.

Sorry, gang, but this bureaucracy stinks. To high heaven even! The State Department and the McClellans of the Pentagon -- incompetents who will joyfully collect their unearned (but inflated) pensions...

Wish my previous optimism could be substantiated with some actual GoodStuff, but methinks it's a tad too late.

Merry Christmas anyway.
