		<description>&lt;p&gt;Please God, see that the Congress sits on its hands during W’s SOTU speech. At the very least see that they give him the rhythmic slow clap at the end the way the Brits do that signifies contempt of and censure for the speaker. Well, I can dream, can’t I?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;seeing(?) that creep away&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps &lt;strike&gt;its&lt;/strike&gt; the result of hearings&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;ah,…sheesh, get ready for the next ‘revelation’ from those Zarqawi documents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from CNN wayback when…Soledad assures us this should now be the end of AII with the death of Zarqawi but that lucky thumbstick has documents to predict our future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/15/ltm.06.html&quot;&gt;Terror Information Find; War on the Hill; Separation Surgery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…S. O’BRIEN: All right, Chad, thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Security forces now say they have information that could be the beginning of the end of al Qaeda in Iraq. It comes from documents and computer records that were recovered after Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed last week….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…JOHN VAUSE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Soledad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This information was found on a thumb stick, essentially a tiny hard drive on Zarqawi’s computer at his safe house. A short time ago here in Baghdad, Iraq’s national security adviser said that information is now crucial in the fight against al Qaeda in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MOWAFFAQ AL-RUBAIE, IRAQI NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: We have managed to confiscate a very important document. These documents belongs to al Qaeda in Iraq and the insurgents and terrorists working inside Iraq. We believe that this is the beginning of the end of al Qaeda in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(END VIDEO CLIP)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;VAUSE: So how does he know this is the beginning of the end? Well according to the information on this thumb stick, Zarqawi and al Qaeda in Iraq describe the current situation in Iraq as — quote — “bleak.” And the best way out of the current entanglement, according to these documents, is to involve the U.S. in another war. The preferred option here, according to this information, is a war with Iran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To do this, al Qaeda’s steps has a number of steps. It includes threatening messages attributed to Shi’a Iranians. Also, carrying out attacks to stage evidence so it looks like Iran was responsible. Leak information that Iran has ties with terrorist groups and was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. And also that Iran is attempting to carry out terrorist operations, not only in America, but also against other Western targets. The reasons for the bleak situation, according to these documents released just a short time ago, according to this thumb stick, the reasons for the situation, because of the steady increase in the number of Iraqi security forces which, according to this document, provide a steady — provide a shield for U.S. troops. Massive arrest operations, timing of financial outlets, confiscating of weapons and ammunition. Also, the media campaign has weakened the influence of the resistance, presenting it as “harmful rather than beneficial.” That is a quote….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hey! …somebody quick call Kristol and tell him that the Iran threat was all an AQiI trick!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…again…sheesh.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-468345&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;john in california @ 92&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;re David Ehrenstein @ 21&lt;br /&gt;
your right, she’s a twit. Let’s hope her mom is more savvy about the world.&lt;br /&gt;
But to the point, this SOTU speech will probably be tinpot’s last. During this next year, Iraq and the working man’s economy are going to roll off a cliff. They will carry tinpot’s approvals below the magic ‘25′. By July even the MSM will be saying he can no longer govern and we will be hearing ‘R’ word everywhere. The only thing that will stave off his ouster is finding a repub that will take the job and that the people have any confidence in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And there is always the possibility Fitz and the jury may force star (chamber?) witness Cheney resignation perhaps even sooner than Bush finally tanks as you suggested next summer. Speaker Pelosi steps into the VP chair and renders Bush irreverent?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW I know nothing about the Pelosi daughter or her skills as a documentary film maker but I do  have good radar for sexism and can’t help but wonder if you two fellas may lighten up a bit and ponder unconscious or conscious use of such words as sexism and/or twit on any young documentarian film maker.&lt;br /&gt;
Pelosi for President 2007? (g)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                10              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, recently testified that documents captured by coalition forces during a raid of a safe house believed to house Iraqi members of al Qaeda six months ago “revealed [AQI] was planning terrorist operations in the U.S.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2813235&amp;page=1&quot;&gt;The plot was discovered 6 months ago.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But we waited to release the news of it until we were in really dire straits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-GSD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  IIRC, the account of the SUVs used in the recent attack in Karbala is similar to the ones used when Zarqawi’s remains were retrieved from the bombing that killed him. Actually, it was part of the witness statement that described Zarqawi surviving the bombing and being shot after being pulled out of an ambulance. I think that’s where these new reports were seized.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
