If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss Hamid Karzai’s devastating response to this question from AP Democratic operative Jennifer Loven, trying to brace Karzai with the leaked NIE:
Q: Thank you, sir. Even after hearing that one of the major conclusions of the National Intelligence Estimate in April was that the Iraq war has fueled terror growth around the world, why have you continued to say that the Iraq war has made this country safer?

I was watching this press conference and thought it was about the best press conference I had ever seen.

Jennifer "I Hate Bush" Loven gets spanked by Karzai.
The video of the AP vidiot is a must-watch.
Excellent. Thanks for the ping.
He was certainly more on the ball than the reporters expected.
The man looked rather suprised at the reporter and had to search for words to school her it seems.
Bush nailed the media as well....
what a nice thing to see....
KARZAI: Terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11th. The president mentioned some examples of it. These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan and around the world for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing children, uprooting vineyards, vine trees, grapes hanging on them, forcing populations to poverty and misery. They came to America on September 11th, but they were attacking you before September 11th in other parts of the world. We are a witness in Afghanistan to what they are and how they can hurt. You are a witness in New York. Do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will be for a man or a woman to jump off that high? Who did that? And where are they now? And how do we fight them, how do we get rid of them? Other than going after them. Should we wait for them to come and kill us again? That's why we need more action around the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to get them defeated. Extremism, their allies, terrorists, and the like.
Yes he did, no wonder we have seen ZERO clips in the MSM.

Is Jennifer Loven biased in her reporting? Well, consider this: Jennifer Loven is married to Roger Ballentine, who is president of Green Strategies, a consulting firm specializing in energy and environmental issues, and was previously deputy assistant to President Clinton for environmental initiatives and chairman of the White House Climate Change Task Force. He also sits on the board of directors of Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF)along with actors Ed Begley, Jr. and Larry Hagman. Jennifer Loven is a reporter for the Associated Press.
Key operative phrase!
I hear that clip on Rush yesterday. It was beautiful.
OUCH! Excellent!! Very hard for me to understand how these dimwits are so blinded by their own hatred for Bush that they simply CANNOT grasp this point!
BTTT. wow. that was amazing. i dont know much about karzai, but that's got to be the best answer to a question ever. holy crap i bet you could have cut it with a paper knife while he was admonishing her. wow. wow. wow.
Sad ppl dont all get to see Karzai's brilliant answer.
Great, Crawdad. This is "Must know" stuff. Thanks for reporting!
Redundancy Alert!
Nice job.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Read his response. It is obvious he is saying that for YEARS the Taliban were destroying his country...while Clinton diddled. Amazing.
Well, we saw a re-energized Bush growing more outspoken about the weakness of the left and the Drive By Media in their expressed views about the long term war on terror. Karzai is just impressive as hell...just as Bush is to the USA, Karzia is to his country - right leader, right time, right place...talk about a slam dunk of an obviously loaded question.

Was driving along listening to the radio and his comments had me choked up and tearing up.
I know in their hearts the left hopes for us to be attacked again and that is truly evil.
Bingo.
A smackdown worthy of Churchill or Cheney
I happened to catch it on CSPAN re-runs last night. Both men made the reporters look like dumb little snot-nosed kids.
That was an awesome answer to a stupid person. President Karzai eyes must have melted the stupid witch.
Strange. When you Google "Jennifer Loven" for images, 90% of them are of President Bush. Is she a stalker?
My son and I watched that repeat late last night. I commented that he looked like he was sending the reporter a message! I loved the President pointing out that nothing is confidential in Washington anymore.
Read the blog further on several articles about this 'reporter', Ms. Loven. Incredible bias and lies.
He thoughtfully provides an email address although with someone so far over the line, I doubt it will do any good.
Thanks so much for this quote, radar 101. Karzai delivered it in such a forceful tone I was hoping it would be quoted over and over again, because this is what it's all about, folks. Of course Harry and Nancy and the rest of the dummies still don't get it. All they care about is getting their power back and don't care what they have to say or do to get it.
That was where I heard it too. Hadn't seen anything in the news about it at all.
She never knew what hit her.
Wow, he sure put her in her place.
