Cover sheets for Bush's intelligence briefings.

Jeeezus 'effin Christ!  Look at this shit:   





FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:

It's been almost four months since former President Bush left office, and many would like to leave his administration in the past. But that may not be possible since there's a constant dripping of information about what really went on during those eight years.

The latest comes by way of GQ Magazine, which has released a series of cover sheets for intelligence reports written for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other top Pentagon brass during the early days of the Iraq war.

They featured "triumphant, color images" like soldiers praying or in action or a tank at sunset along with Biblical passages. For example: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

Besides the obvious question of appropriateness, what if these covers had leaked out at the time? The Muslim world could have interpreted the war as a religiously-driven battle against Islam. You think they were upset about Abu Ghraib?

But the general who thought up the covers told anyone that complained about them that his seniors, including Rumsfeld and President Bush, appreciated them. In fact, GQ says Rumsfeld hand-delivered many of these reports to President Bush.

The magazine suggests the mixing of Crusades-like messages with war imagery might not have been Rumsfeld's style — but he likely saw it as a way to connect with the deeply religious President Bush.

This is just another in a growing list of questions, and just like torture and the reasons for invading Iraq, they don't seem to be going away.

If any of you Republicans still support was is becoming increasingly obvious as one of the most disastrous presidencies in our nation's history, you must be as off your rocker as Bush apparently was.

This just keeps gettin' better and better.  Remember people, these were on the covers of national intelligence reports.

My question is how you are able to access these. You did say National Security Reports???

[LOsborne]

He told you how he accessed them. Read the article. No he did not say National Security Reports. He said (actually Jack Cafferty said) "intelligence reports written for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other top Pentagon brass during the early days of the Iraq war.

I want to know who authorized 4-color CMYK printing blankets for a print run of 16.

They are all over the media. And your response is simply how he got them?
Not, "Why was someone making the war into a holy flippin' crusade?"

Wow. No wonder we have such a mess.

"Why was someone making the war into a holy flippin' crusade?"

Wow. No wonder we have such a mess.

Particularly when we remember how well the last Crusades turned out.

Do you really think she knows anything about the Crusades?

OK, how did GQ get their little hands on these covers?????

And you care because....?

With the way the members of the bush administration are selling each other out, it could have been anyone who turned them over.

And why aren't you concerned about the potential consequences if they had been revealed at the time?

[Locutus]

...or the consequences of them being revealed now.

I care because this is sensitive material and should not be in others hands.
I doubt that it was anyone from the Bush admin. I imagine this came from the someone else.
I don't concern myself with what could of but did not happen. That is past. I live more in the present and future.
