Go easy on old Walter he’s obviously lost it. Much like the late Pierre Salinger, he is on the edge of senility, perhaps even gone over it. The media should not be interviewing him on major policy issues in the first place. And making his feeble minded pronouncements a news item is even lamer. Leave him to his retirement and pay no attention.

Walter’s been cooking with aluminum too long. Apparently the beta amyloids clotting his synaptic connections are talking - unless the old pompous windbag wants to detail the buddy-buddy relationship Karl Rove’s built up with Terrorist No. 1 over the years.

This is THE most disconcerting thing about today’s democratic party. The fringe is running the show. The guys with the tin foil hats are setting policy. Michael Moore sits with Jimmy Carter and Walter, Albright and Soros drool on about conspiracy theory.

Poor Joe Lieberman and Bob Kerrey, they must wonder what happened to the once-proud organization that accepted them as one of their own many moons ago. A political party that stood for the working man and the downtrodden has drunk too deeply at the well of fake cops scaring off minorities at polling places, bin Laden under wraps for a last-minute Bush boost, Jewish doctors injecting black babies with the AIDS virus and every other insane urban legend they can get their hands on.

Nothing they say now surprises me. It doesn’t appear to shame them, either. Guess you’d need a conscience for that.

The shocking thing of course is how it gets a pass by larry king. I didn’t see it but I was told larry just continued on as if it was convention wisdom. Anyway anyone who risked their neck at normandy gets a pass from me - the old bloke has lost it sadly. It’s today’s media that deserves the criticism. Who watches larry king anyway? I think I’d rather sit thru greta van sussussusterin than him.

walter’s still smarter than you three dupes have ever been. [from another thread]: I think bin laden does want Bush re-elected. The fire of hatred needs much fuel, and is better fanned by an active, assertive America abroad than one with a more isolationist policy. He needs a steady and increasing supply of martyrs to fight his war (the purpose of which is not to drive us out of the mideast, but to kill as many of us as he can, wherever he can), and he thinks Bush will serve that purpose to a greater extent than Kerry. If he’s trying to influence the election, it’s by reverse psychology. I’m not sure that’s the case — more likely, he’s trying to influence present and potential recruits. The one thing we know for sure is that we can still hunt him down and kill him. We should continue to add resources to that task until it’s done

j, and who told you this, Karl Rove?

Walter did us a great service helping us get out of Viet Nam.

That would be about 50,000 South Vietnamese killed.
Re-ed camps. Boat people - another 50 - 100K dead on the high seas. Communism and 2 Million dead in Cambodia.

Walter has never said anything about the tragedy we got from following his advice?

Leave the old man alone? If only the dead could speak.

It is no wonder Kerry and him are peas in a pod. The dead have no value for either of them.

I want the jihadis to recruit every one who agrees with their cause. It will make them easier to find and kill.

Four more years - for Bush.
