Comments on Flaws in Panel's Thinking
Monday August 4, 11:21 pm ET
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert David Steele, a 25-year veteran of the U.S. national security community, founder of OSS.NET, and author or editor of three seminal works on intelligence reform, today cheered for Howard Dean's superb appearance on Larry King Live. "Howard Dean is the real deal," Steele commented. "This is a man who is accustomed to getting the facts, weighing all opinions, and making an informed judgment. There could be no sharper contrast than that between this honorable man, and the incumbent President who led America to an unjust war on a platform of lies.
"Dean is not only solidly in the center, he is the only Democratic candidate capable of revitalizing the vast majority of America that has dropped out of politics or been marginalized by the Republican-Democratic conspiracy to dump the League of Women Voters for the specific purpose of eliminating third party participation in the presidential debate process."
Larry King and his panel have missed three critical points:
(1) Bin Laden is very very smart. He realizes that the best possible catalyst for a long-term Islamic radicalization is the re-election of Bush Junior. There will be no Al Qaeda attack on the American homeland until after November 2004-expect a rocky Christmas. (2) The majority of Americans have dropped out of politics or been marginalized. Howard Dean can not only bring the Democratic Party back to life, he can provide a big tent for everyone else as he commits himself to electoral reform. (3) The blond from Texas is evidently not aware that there is a Defense Intelligence Agency report on the Internet that documents the chemical attacks on the Kurds, many, many years ago, as being of Iranian original. The use of chemicals over a decade ago is not evidence of current chemical capabilities, but then Texas Republicans appear to be very loosely educated. |
