  1. While you can fault the CIA for missing things leading up to 9/11, most of what they said or argued against later turned out to be true, like doubting the existence of the WMDs. Whereas most of what Feith's organization was responsible for were failures (i.e. singular, unreliable sources like the yellowcake story or Atta supposedly meeting the Iraq intelligence officer in Prague). Also from what I've read, most of his organization were political analysts, not trained in intelligence, and that hardly any of the principal players took him seriously, basically that he was full of poopy. sooo, not much credibility in Mr. Feith's version.
  2. hmm, just checked them, they worked for me. You can get to the Bush's War page, but the video links don't work?
  3. you have to check out this Frontline series on Iraq There's lots of in-depth interviews from senior CIA, military, Dept of State, and well respected journalists and authors on the web page. The mistakes and personalities outlined in this documentary really puts things in perspective. Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Bremer are the bad guys, with Tenet taking the fall for the boss. Bremer did some incredibly stupid things, like the De-Bathification law, which basically removed all the people and functions of the Iraqi government, and the disbanding of the Iraqi army, which put 200K armed and trained angry men without jobs into the streets. Of course this is biased against the Bush administration. If you watched some of the other Frontline documentaries like these, the series creators repeated quite a bit of the expert opinions and commentary.
  4. so, what you're saying is that if we cut JP loose, and sign a veteran like Trent Dilfer, nobody will ever suggest starting the backup qb? what's the difference if the backup is JP Losman or some journeyman? The result is always the same, the fans and media will call for a change if TE begins to wither. The only issue is if the coaching staff starts playing musical qbs. Get over it....
  5. wow, what an about face! Stover changes his tune someone must've offered to break his neck...
  6. Bills on the Clock video is now posted on ESPN.com Mel Kiper saying the best WRs and TEs aren't worth the #11 pick, so go for the CB. IMO, Merril Hoge is closer to the truth; with an effective pass rush, getting to the quarterback quicker will improve the secondary. The Bills FO has proven they aren't afraid to take their man regardless of how the experts rank them.
  7. Doesn't matter, he's the Raven's player rep, he was elected to represent the team. The real issue is how many other reps agree (or could be persuaded) that Upshaw has to go...
  8. ESPN gets copy of email from Raven's Stover Upshaw has a good point; it will hard to gain enough support to get rid of him if the owners are ballistic about how much money they are paying the players.
  9. it's all part of a new, super secret, anti-spy strategy that defensive signals are called in eastern european languages to keep Belicheat guessing
  10. I'm definitely along with most of this. I'm not sold on Kelly's health, but I totally trust the Bill's med staff if they pick him. WR, TE, CB in that order! wow that Duvaughn Flagler is a hella athlete. he can accelerate (seemingly as fast as that chicken and waffles guy) and a great end zone target Gardner Webb who? yeah, the defenses he must have faced aren't exactly bowl material, but what a talent.
  11. ya, you're very right, wrong choice of words, they persevered thru certain death is closer to the truth
  12. whoa, the Sabres might actually control their own destiny into the playoffs. The Bruins and the Flyers both have 91 pts and had to lose and they both did! Sabres have 2 more games against the Habs and Bruins, and have to win both... :lol:
  13. 18 beers at $8.33 each 1 empty shot glass - Priceless!
  14. well, since the Sabres are out and the Flyers. Rangers, and Sharks are all playoff-bound with ex-Sabres contributing quite a bit, looks your argument doesn't hold much water. I still say I'd much rather have a Briere, Drury, and Campbell and 4 #1 picks in March and April 2008-2011 than a natural 40-goal scorer under 25!
  15. what you're forgetting is that if they kept Drury and Briere, it's very likely they would never have been forced to pony up $10M for Vanek, so it's likely a wash. They might have lost Vanek in the process, but keeping Drury, Briere and Campbell would have resulted in a much better team for the same payroll.
  16. NFL Interviewed Belichick a Second Time Over 'Spygate'
  17. the way Drury explained it just after he signed with the NYR was that the team and him agreed during the 2007 season ($22M sounds about right) and was waiting for the Sabres to send him the final written version and the contract never came! CD interpreted that as they weren't serious, not that he wasn't willing to sign anymore for that figure. Maybe he was trying to spin it, but I'd be surprised if that was the case.
  18. this is pretty funny. The fans are wondering what the hold up is with getting LE extended when the man is under contract. There are so many different scenarios which could be playing out; waiting until the draft and seeing who/how much we pay a rookie WR, waiting till the season is underway and seeing how LE performs, waiting on the CBA outcome, ...you name it. The current Bills FO have also shown that they have no problem extending their star's contracts during the season (Peters, Schobel, etc.) You're in a hurry, but maybe the FO doesn't think we need to git 'r done so quickly.
