THANKS, BUT NO THANKS While reporters have made much of Sen. John Kerry's decision to pass up a security and intelligence briefing and instead prep for a political fundraiser in New York, it hasn't been the first time, according to sources at the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the Senate Intelligence Committee. In fact, Kerry hasn't been taking regular intelligence briefings for weeks.
"He's just not taking them. They have been offered by the Administration, we've offered, given everything that is going on," says an Intelligence Committee staffer. "But his campaign hasn't expressed any interest. I don't know how many he has had, but I bet it's fewer than one a week. And it's not like he is ever here." President Bush is known to take at least one formal intelligence briefing in the morning, with additional meetings during the day as needed.
Last week Kerry declined an intelligence briefing on the day that Homeland Security officials briefed both the House and the Senate on possible terrorist threats. Kerry, in New York for a fundraiser, passed up a full briefing, and instead had a shave and trim of his silver mane of hair he was so proud of when he boasted on Tuesday that he and his new prospective running mate, Sen. John Edwards, had better hair than their Republican opponents.
"If we're talking about the same intelligence that got us into this war in Iraq, why would we listen to them?" asks a Kerry campaign source. "The Senator has his own intelligence and security advisers who brief him regularly. This is just more political gamesmanship, and we aren't going to play."

Yep .. he was either playing golf or getting bj's
We need a chart with all the lies they are telling
They use to walk that fine line ... now they aren't even trying to spin .. it's just bold face lies
In other news, Senator Kerry stated that if elected president he'll "get to the bottom of this bigfoot thing once and for all". "All my intelligence operatives feed my daily leads on thois hariy menace to the northwest, and I plan to put a stop to it!", Kerry stated as he purchased tinfoil and a motorcycle helmet at a local Wal-Mart.
That is exactly what I was going to say.
Shockingly stunningly arrogant.
They probably come directly from France and chiraq is on the same side as SKerry so that's all he thinks he needs to know.
And is that going to help Kerry? Nooooooooooooooo...it is not.
Well .. I guess we have a little arrogance showing .. they won't take the intelligence reports because it's from "them".
GOD have mercy .. and deliver us from this scum!
Yep .. he was either playing golf or getting bj's
or dodging heavy objects hurled by hillary.
And no using it here without express written consent and unctuous, gratuitous accreditation to the Great PhilDragoo....
BTTT.
LOL! Thanks for starting my day with a smile.
LOL !
Unbelievable !!:"If we're talking about the same intelligence that got us into this war in Iraq, why would we listen to them?" asks a Kerry campaign source. "The Senator has his own intelligence and security advisers who brief him regularly. This is just more political gamesmanship, and we aren't going to play."
And great pic there, Phil.
What the HELL!?

VOTE JOHN KERRY! THE ONLY CANDIDATE PREFERRED BY THE TWO REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE “AXIS OF EVIL”
JOHN KERRY – “Like Ted Kennedy, only Thinner!”
“It is surprising to many of us that Kerry seeks to re-open the wounds of thirty five years ago by playing up a three month period in his life as his primary qualification for running for president. That seems ridiculous to most of us because we’ve gone on with our lives but if, in fact, that is the centerpiece of his campaign, we feel it’s very, very important that the American people get the actual truth about that three or four months”
- John O Neill, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, 5/4/04
DID YOU KNOW HE SERVED IN VIETNAM?
Of course you did. Everyone does, because his four months in Vietnam is the only basis for his campaign for the presidency. Kerry never talks about his accomplishments as Lt. Governor to Michael Dukakis, or his twenty year career in the Senate, for which he has nothing to show.
The purpose of this web page is to demonstrate how the French-looking Monsieur Kerry is trying to re-invent himself into something other than an ultra-elite ultra-liberal Washington insider. He has tried to straddle both sides of every issue for political gain throughout his unprincipled, equivocating, waffling, and less-than-inspirational career as a Washington politician. This site dispels commonly held myths about John Forbes Kerry and exposes his innumerable flip-flops.
Who could be providing HIM intelligence???
Osama?
He kKNOWS his are better, becasue he actively took part in dismantling the US Intel communities capabilities. he knows the damage that was done.
