Larson suggested the Harkin campaign had orchestrated the recording.
"He went in with the intent of taping the entire meeting, carrying the information out and delivering it to the Harkin campaign," he said. Wiggins, however, suggested the GOP might be guilty of wrongdoing by first describing the Ganske meeting as a gathering of loyal supporters only to later admit some independents and Democrats were invited.
"Did they know it at the time the complaint was filed, in which case, did they knowingly mislead law enforcement?" Wiggins asked.

As is usual from a Karl Rove operation, the charge is complete B.S. And MWO and KCCI-TV in Des Moines have the scoop. Turns out it was taped by a GOP member disgusted by Ganske's speech, which was at an event where Ganske wasn't even expected to attend.
There is another possibility besides the oil. It also could be that the chickenhawks setting policy are, well, chicken. Chicken about going into a mountainous country where our military was bogged down for several years getting nowhere, as opposed to just blitzing through a weakly-defended desert at a temperate time of year.

And if you take the Wayback machine to my first post with content, I suppose that I liked the idea back in June as well.
And, I believe that we are perfectly capable of staying the course in our war against Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, while simultaneously taking those steps necessary to build an international coalition to join us in taking on Saddam Hussein in a timely fashion. If you're going after Jesse James, you ought to organize the posse first, especially if you're in the middle of a gunfight with somebody who's out after you.
And in a incomparably silly response, here's Chickenblogger Vodkapundit...
We aren't going after Jesse James, Mr. Gore. We're going after Saddam Hussein. He is a self-declared enemy of our nation, in violation of every agreement he has signed with us, and of every UN resolution mandated against him. The proper Old West analogy would be High Noon, with the US in the Gary Cooper role.
So that's the score. Because Shoeshine Boy Hussein is orders of magnitude more dangerous than Jesse James, we don't have to organize anything. All we have to do is follow a script from a fictional story, and all will be well.
I don't get his 'logic' either, but that's neoconservative chickenblogging in a nutshell.

While we're at it, the bigheads at Halliburton, which is still feeling effects from the 'leadership' of Biggus Dickus Cheney, are being crybabies about a previous accurate Krugman piece.
UPDATE: If I may say so myself, Dennis Kozlowski is a bit of a perv as well. Pardon me for saying this, but the idea of a David ice scupture pissing out vodka is just not in good taste.
