Roger on the attack

Submitted May 13, 2004 - 12:01 am by Christopher Whalen
No specific intel on why DOS now on attack vs. Lula.  I was puzzled by same thing in the NYT -- but for different reasons.  Remember, the definition of a CIA asset is someone who is leftwing, credible, but ineffectual.

Will plug into the grid and find out.

Everything inside the beltway now is focused on the election now, so red-baiting Lula or Chavez or Castro does play a role in the grand scheme of things, especially in FL, CA and TX.  

Noriega is actually a very effective conservative in a government that usually lacks direction and vision (outside of profiting from the new crusades in Iraq).

There may not be a grand design here.  Just as likely is a little muscle flexing by Noriega while the WH is in serious disarray.  The Powell tendency has kept the red meat folks in check last couple of years. The left has forgotten what it is like to have conservatives calling the shots. This bunch in the WH don't know where they are in terms of ideology or geography.
