I really like having you guys around. Judging by the email, the audience is growing all over the world, and to all the people who’ve written to say nice things I really appreciate it. (And for those who I can’t get around to answering, sorry. I do read them all.)
Angela is in charge of somehow turning this thing into something a bit bigger, and since she’s the shit, I figure I better take time out to give up some gratitude to those of you who’ve been encouraging me up to now before it’s too late.
So, thanks. I love you guys man. In a hetero-Bush™ tall boy drinkin’ kinda way.
You and Angela deserve bigdom. You have the radio chops. You have the connections. You have your health and your youth and lots of energy.
Now is the time. I don\’t know what\’s exactly coming your way, but you need to boldly seize good opportunities when the time is ripe.
A bit of premature advice completely uninformed by reality as I know it thusfar: When you have people working for you and answering to you, don\’t forget to delegate. That\’s what they\’re there for. Don\’t be afraid to let go of 15 of the 20 jobs you now do all by yourself.
Looking forward to hearing whatever good news comes your way.

Posted by Mace Price | April 12, 2008, 10:44 amThank you and Angela Scott. Your interviews have always been great but the website and MP3s have been coming every single day for the last month or 2 and it’s fantastic.

Check out what Cheney has been saying on Sean Hannity’s radio show-
HANNITY: If we pull out too early, what do you believe the consequences would be? […]
CHENEY: For us to walk away from Iraq I think would have at least that bad an effect, probably worse, because if al Qaeda were to take over big parts of Iraq, among other things, they would acquire control of a significant oil resource. Iraq has almost 100 billion barrel reserves, producing 2.5-3 million barrels of oil a day. If you take a terrorist organization like al Qaeda and give it that kind of revenue, there’s no telling the amount of trouble they could get into.

Maybe Justin can read it and you can have him on to give a book review!
Posted by stevec | April 12, 2008, 2:12 pmAnders, the only terrorists that are going to take over Iraq are the ones that wear $1200 suits.

LEMMING LEGIONS (L)

God I love alliteration…………
Scott:
Why don’t you employ alliteration in your Antiwar.com articles…..
Alliteration is clearly the highest expression of literary (and oratory) artistic merit…..Just ask Walter Winchell….
Posted by stevec | April 12, 2008, 2:40 pmDamn right mudshark, also the very notion of al qaida taking over large parts of Iraq is so far fetched it makes McCainiacs “Iran-al qaida” meme seem believable by comparison.
Posted by Anders | April 12, 2008, 2:46 pmSpeaking of radio shows, take a listen to this , alex jones clip , if you can bare to listen the flash point is a little over half way through the clip.

When asked about the administration’s assertions that al Qaeda will take over Iraq’s al Anbar province if the U.S. military leaves, [former CIA counter-terrorism officer] Giraldi said,
“No. I think the reality is that if the United States leaves it will be a very bad thing for al Qaeda because the Sunnis don’t particularly want them around and would get rid of them.”
He then said that the only reason al Qaeda is tolerated by Iraqi Sunnis is to help fight the American occupation and that,
“There have already been reports that the Sunnis are already kind of tired of them because when they stage a major provocation or attack, it’s the local Sunni population that has to take the grief when the U.S. Army descends. … It’s a marriage of convenience with al Qaeda insofar as it’s a marriage at all. So I think it would be fallacious to assume – In fact, let me [say it] stronger than that: I think it would be ridiculous to assume that al Qaeda could establish some kind of serious presence in Iraq similar to what it did in Afghanistan because the dynamic is completely different.”
Posted by Scott | April 12, 2008, 3:13 pmThanks scott, yeh i was sure i had heard you interview someone who had debunked that particular nazi-esq talking point, also i remember you asking someone, perhaps it was Giraldi ?, about how big Al Qaida was world wide and the reply was something like “around 4,000″, so it’s pretty hard to imagine them “taking over parts of Iraq”, i mean the US has been there 6 years with 160k troops and they still struggle to control anything.
Posted by Anders | April 12, 2008, 3:23 pmScott, Angela, Interns:
You Can Do It!
Great hair,

Luv you too,
No homo. ; )
Are the CIA backing the MEK again ?
Posted by Anders | April 12, 2008, 3:58 pmSome reports are suggesting the attack was carried out by Jundullah, thats the group that the US has been reportedly aiding since 2005
Posted by Anders | April 12, 2008, 6:06 pm…Unless all they do is pray, it’s like I said, I’d venture to say there’s still a Bounty on Sunni’s in Iran…The Persian Shia that dominate Iran still haven’t forgotten all that shit The US sold to Saddam…It’s said that—through existing Policy and Diplomacy at the time of course—He obtained Biological Capability from The CDC in Atlanta.
