Pelosi calls CIA Liars
NN&V ^ | 05/14/09 | Nuke

Posted on 05/14/2009 8:41:25 AM PDT by grandpa jones

In a yet another tortured explanation of what she knew, and when she knew it, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now claims that she was "misled" by the CIA regarding the use of enhanced interrogation techniques.

"They misled us every step of the way."
In a just concluded press conference, Ms. Pelosi stopped short of calling the CIA briefers "liars", but the distinction was one of semantics only.

Calling for a "Truth Commission," Pelosi attempted to tie the CIA interrogation briefings to later briefings by the Bush Administration regarding WMD's in the run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. The twisted explanation would require "a willing suspension of disbelief," and IMO, makes the torture debate less about enhanced interrogation techniques and embarrassing the Bush Administration, and more about Nancy Pelosi's credibility.

Eventually one of her lies will stick, I suppose, why not make it a “CIA/Bush lied to me” lie.

That was exactly what she was attempting to do. Blame it in Bush. I half-expected her to roll out the "Bush lied and people died" mantra.

It didn't work.

Pelosi calls CIA Liars

1) Don't tug on Superman's cape.
2) Don't spit into the wind.
3) Don't pull the mask off of the Lone Ranger.
4) Most importantly, don't call the CIA liars...

Not wise to provoke the CIA, Miss Pelosi.

So keep doing it, please.

What a moron. Utterly corrupt and dishonest. Had Pelosi even an ounce of class or dignity she would just resign now. Disgraceful.

I don’t think Nancy’s very intelligent. If someone tells me they MAY do something, I logically expect that they can and will, so I am not surprised if and when they do.

It’s looking more and more than poor Nankingsy is suffering from advancing Alzheimers. Time for change in directorship of the federal congress oligarchs.
