Deep Thoughts By Larry Johnson

Larry C. Johnson worked for the CIA for four years in the early eighties or so and is now a self-professed expert on worldwide spookiness. His story is well told by Byron York, but to experience the essence of the Larry-Man himself, you've got to groove on his words, so here they are, direct from Larry C. Johnson's blog NoQuarter.

Note: I've included some readers' comments, including my own, to provide context; they appear in regular type. Larry's answers appear in their original shout caps. LARRY C. JOHNSON LOVES SHOUT CAPS.

How can someone be patriotic who gives up operational secrets or defends those who do?
EXACTLY, WHICH IS WHY THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT MARY MCCARTHY DID BUT AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT GEORGE BUSH DID. CAN I SIGN YOU UP FOR THE IMPEACH BUSH CAMPAIGN?

Fact: Tenet never disapproved. Tenet went after Wilson in a July 2003 statement.
WRONG. GEORGE TENET TOLD THE WHITE HOUSE IN OCTOBER 2002 TO REMOVE ANY REFERENCE TO URANIUM IN AFRICA FROM BUSH'S SPEECH.

LOL...The big, bad CIA guy can't take other opinions so he has to ban people. How ridiculous is that? How Trite? But we believe in free speech right? Not LJ. Try doin a few searches and see what everybody else is sayin' about him. See what LJ had to say:
YOU KNOW ASSHOLE, WHOOPS, I MEAN AXEY, THE NICE THING ABOUT RUNNING MY BLOG IS THAT I DON'T HAVE TO TOLERATE TROGS LIKE YOU. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NOT READ WHAT I WROTE NOR DO YOU KNOW MY HISTORY ON THESE MATTERS. NO PROBLEM. YOU ARE A MORON AND ARE BANNED.

The CIA has conducted a war against Bush for the last 3 years. Clarke, McCarthy, Wilson and Plame are the players thus far. There are no doubt more. there's no question that the CIA has reason to want to hurt Bush. This is on the edge of sedition.
AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE TRUTH BECAUSE YOUR HEAD IS SO FAR UP YOUR ASS.

UNCLE TOM, YOU ARE A BLOWHARD AND A JOKE. YOU ARE MAKING UP YOUR SERVICE RECORD. MY FRIENDS, WHO ARE ACTUAL WARRIORS, NEVER VOLUNTEER WHAT THEY DID OR WHAT AWARDS THEY RECEIVED. IT TOOK ME YEARS TO FIND OUT. GUYS LIKE JOE LOPEZ, SILVER STAR WITH MARINES; DICK GANNON, EX-COMMANDER FIFTH MARINES (TWO TOURS IN VIETNAM), PAUL EVANCOE, NAVY SEAL RETIRED WITH MULTIPLE AWARDS INCLUDING THE BRONZE STAR, AND LARRY DUGGAN, THE 100TH MAN WOUNDED IN VIETNAM. YOU ARE PROBABLY ONE OF THE GUYS WHO WENT TO SALVATION ARMY, BOUGHT OLD UNIFORMS, AND HAS PERSUADED HIMSELF HE WAS THE REAL DEAL. ENJOY YOUR FANTASY TOUGH GUY.

I guess the actual banning was for calling attention to his July 10, 2001 op-ed in the NY Times wherein he claimed we had nothing to fear [from terrorists]. That got me banned. The other post was deleted, the one where I questioned the VIPS calling for people such as McCarthy to do what she did.
SUE, YOU SURE ARE A BRIGHT GIRL. THANKS FOR HELPING DRIVE UP THE TRAFFIC TO MY SITE. MY ADVERTISERS DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE A TROG OR A CLEAR THINKER. THE FACT THAT YOU VISIT SHOWS UP AS A NUMBER IN MY COLUMN. THANKS FOR TAKING THE BAIT SWEETHEART. SUCKER.

IF YOU WOULD ACTUALLY READ AS OPPOSED TO REPEATING REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE CIA REPEATEDLY TOLD THE PRESIDENT THAT THE CLAIMS THAT IRAQ WAS SEEKING URANIUM IN WEST AFRICA WERE BASELESS. IS THAT A DIFFICULT CONCEPT? DO YOU LACK A DICTIONARY? ROBERT JOSEPH, WHO INSERTED THAT LANGUAGE, DID SO OVER THE OBJECTION OF THE CIA. BUT, WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT FACTS?

JOE (Wilson) HAS NOT CHANGED HIS STORY AND HE HAS BEEN VINDICATED. IF YOU WOULD SIMPLY READ THE RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED STATE DEPARTMENT MEMO, IT IDENTIFIES FIVE OTHER SOURCES BESIDES JOE THAT CORROBORATE JOE'S TESTIMONY. LIKE I SAID, YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FACTS.

US INTEL COMMUNITY SAYS THE BRITS ARE WRONG. AND SSCI (NOT SSIC YOU BOZO) IS A SLANTED REPUBLICAN REPORT. OF COURSE, YOU BELIEVE THE BRITS OVER THE CIA. ANOTHER GREAT AMERICAN.

Here once and for all is confirmation that Joe Wilson claimed, and continues to claim, that VP Cheney sent him to Niger:"Wilson is now at the center of a major political maelstrom involving the White House, the C.I.A. and the second gulf war in Iraq. In 2002, at the request of Vice President Dick Cheney, Wilson was assigned by the C.I.A. to investigate claims that Saddam Hussein was seeking to acquire uranium from Niger for the purpose of advancing his nuclear program."
I took that quote directly from Joe Wilson's online bio at http://www.greatertalent.com/biography.php?id=258
The bio then says, "When his (Wilson's) investigation turned up nothing, Wilson reported back to officials in Washington that there was no basis for the claims."
We have long known these are patent lies, the purpose of which was to a) cover up the fact that Valerie Plame Wilson was responsible for sending her husband to Niger b) attempt to legitimize a story fabricated by a cabal of CIA employees, including Larry Johnson, Mary McCarthy and numerous others, in co-ordination with the Kerry campaign, for the purpose of undermining the Bush administration in hopes of propelling John Kerry to the White House in 2004.
Does that sound about right, Larry?
YOU NITWIT. I WILL SAY THIS ONCE AND IF YOU PERSIST IN BEING STUPID WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PARTICIPATE ON THIS BLOG.HERE IS WHAT THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE REPORT STATES: EVENT ONE--13 February 2002. During his CIA morning brief, Vice President Cheney asks the CIA to find out the truth about an item in the Defense Intelligence Agency's National Military Joint Intelligence Center Executive Highlight (Vo. 028-02) that analyzed a recent CIA intelligence report and concluded that, “Iraq is probably searching abroad for natural uranium to assist in its nuclear weapons program”. No judgment was offered about the credibility of the reporting. (Senate Intelligence Committee Report [SICR], page 38)HERE IS WHAT JOE WILSON WROTE IN HIS OP ED:"In February 2002, I was informed by officials at the Central Intelligence Agency that Vice President Dick Cheney's office had questions about a particular intelligence report." (NY Times, July 6, 2003)JOE WILSONS NEVER SAID WHAT YOU CLAIM HE SAID. LIKE I SAID, SHAPE UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE OR GET LOST.

ABU. YOU DO NOT GET TO POST LIES ON MY BLOG. VALERIE WAS UNDERCOVER, AS WAS I. WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT IS NO CONCERN OF MIND. TAKE YOUR LIES ELSEWHERE. YOU WILL BE DELETED.

FROM LARRY JOHNSON (NOTE, THE USE OF CAPS IS SIMPLY A DEVICE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE FOLLOWING IS MY RESPONSE TO THIS CHUCKLEHEAD, ABU).ABU, JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO INSIST THAT THE SUN RISES IN THE WEST DOES NOT MAKE IT SO. I WILL NOT SUBJECT FOLKS WHO READ THIS BLOG TO MINDLESS CRAP. IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH YOUR STATEMENT, "Plame twice nominated. . ." IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DEFAME HER OR JOE. I HAVE WRITTEN EXTENSIVELY ON THIS POINT BUT WILL REPEAT KEY FACTS. VALERIE'S BOSS AT THE CIA ASKED HER TO WRITE THE MEMO. VALERIE DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SEND JOE OR ANYONE ELSE ON A TRIP TO NIGER. HER BOSSES WERE REACTING TO A REQUEST THAT CAME FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE AND WAS COMMUNICATED TO CPD BY THE DAILY BRIEFERS.
FOR YOU TO INSIST THAT VALERIE KNEW ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE THAT GEORGE BUSH WAS GOING TO MAKE THE CLAIM IN HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS THAT "IRAQ WAS TRYING TO BUY URANIUM IN WEST AFRICA" AND, BECAUSE OF HER FORESIGHT, SENT HER HUSBAND TO NIGER TO "NOT" GATHER EVIDENCE SO THEY COULD EMBARRASS BUSH AND HELP JOHN KERRY IS DELUSIONAL.
FINALLY, VALERIE WAS A NON-OFFICIAL COVER OFFICER UNTIL THE DAY HER NAME APPEARED IN THE NOVAK ARTICLE IDENTIFYING HER AS A CIA OFFICER. WHETHER YOU ACCEPT THESE FACTS OR NOT IS OF NO IMPORT TO ME. THESE ARE FACTS AND YOU DO NOT GET THE LUXURY OF PLAYING ALICE IN WONDERLAND HERE. UP IS NOT DOWN. BLACK IS NOT WHITE.

FROM LARRY JOHNSON:ABU, REFUTING YOU IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE, AS I HAVE ALREADY POINTED OUT, VALERIE PLAME WAS UNDERCOVER. DESPITE THAT FACT YOU CONTINUE TO INSIST, WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE, THAT SHE WAS SOMEHOW AN OVERT EMPLOYEE. YOU ARE FREE TO POST YOUR BULLSHIT ON YOUR ON BLOG. YOU CALL ME A COWARD BUT THEN START WHINING BECAUSE I REFER TO YOU AS DELUSIONAL AND A CHUCKLEHEAD. I'LL LEAVE IT TO OTHERS TO DRAW THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS. PERSONALLY I WOULD RATHER HAVE A FACE TO FACE MEETING WITH YOU TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE OF MY COWARDICE. I SUSPECT THAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO ENTERTAIN.
AS FAR AS YOUR DRAMATIC REVELATIONS GO (WHICH CAME FROM THE NATIONAL REVIEW) THEY ARE MISLEADING GARBAGE:
...
ABU, WRONG AGAIN BUTT MUNCH. IN FACT, WE NOW KNOW THAT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENT RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE NIO FOR AFRICA WHO INFORMED THEM THAT THE CLAIM ABOUT IRAQ TRYING TO ACQUIRE URANIUM WAS BASELESS. WHAT IS IT ABOUT BASELESS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
...
SEE ABOVE. THERE WAS NO ATTEMPT TO BUY URANIUM. IT IS NOT JUST THE WORD OF JOE WILSON. IT ALSO IS THE WORD OF THE US AMBASSADOR TO NIGER, THE DEPUTY COMMANDER OF U.S. EUCOM, AND THE CIA.
...
I HAVE ANSWERED THIS REPEATEDLY. BULLSHIT. THE MEMO VALERIE WROTE WAS IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FROM HER BOSS. HER BOSS MADE THE DECISION TO SEND JOE AND HER BOSS CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO ASK JOE TO DO THE TRIP.SO, ABU. YOU ARE NOW BANNED FROM THIS SITE. I WILL DELETE EVERY PIECE OF LYING CRAP THAT YOU TRY TO PUT HERE. WE'RE DONE.

Comments:
You know even less about Larry Johnson than the Bush administration knows about counterterrorism. You are as bad if not worse than all the leftwing shills that defended Slick Willy to the death.
 
How so?
 
So much for Stephen at http://veriseal.org/
