All that load of crapola gets shot down by the fact that Foley resigned! If Foley didn't do anything WRONG, why resign? Why has his own leadership condemned his actions? Why is every Republican in Washington trying to say they told somebody else about the Foley problem X years ago? I'm loving the whole thing! I also think, where there's smoke, there's fire. If Foley was chasing young boy pages, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he had availed himself of young, underage "chickenhawk" male prostitutes as depicted in the movie "My Own Private Idaho". A big payday awaits for the first ones to come forward..

"..An intelligence report seen by CBS News says a number of Iraqi hospitals and morgues have become command and control centers for the Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia led by anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. CBS News chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan says the report details incidents in which Sunnis hospital patients have been dragged from their beds and murdered. Al-Maliki is under intensified pressure to find an end to the Shiite-Sunni killings that have torn Iraq apart for months despite the government's calls for militias — many of which have ties to parties in the government — to put down their arms. "The dissolution of militia must be through the political powers. There is more than one way leading to a solution, and the militias will dissolve themselves," al-Maliki told the Associated Press during an "iftar" dinner, the meal that ends the daily Ramadan fast. "Militias do not conform with a government. Political parties have militias and they are part of the government and participate in the political process. The parties are required to dissolve these militias," he said. Al-Maliki has frequently called for militias to be dissolved, insisting that weapons must only be in the hands of national security forces. But Sunni leaders have accused the government of balking at moving forcefully against Shiite militias blamed in much of the violence because of their links to Shiite political parties. -------------- cbsnews.com FoleyGate or IraqGate or AbramoffGate or MedicareGate or DelayGate or.....oh hell.
