AP DUCKS TRUTH (As Usual)

[Tenacious 1]

White House Ducks what?

The article does not even mention the white house. Who Scott answering some stupid question about why dems had another walk out tantrum? What was he ducking?

Nice Catch!

[popdonnelly]

BS by AP.

There's not much difference these days between an AP story and a DNC press release.

The Democrats looked at the same intel the Administration did and came to the same conclusion. They weren't misled about anything and Harry "Dingy" Reid and Dick "Turban" Durbin know it.

If Democrats want to talk about the threat that Saddam Hussein posed and the intelligence, they might want to start with looking at the previous administration and their own statements that they've made," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

I like the NEW thinking, time to start running the rats to ground. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Bring it on Baby.

"If Democrats want to talk about the threat that Saddam Hussein posed and the intelligence, they might want to start with looking at the previous administration and their own statements that they've made," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

The previous administration was full of corrupt liars who would say anything to further their agenda.

If I didn't believe what they said then, why on earth would I believe them now?

"If Democrats want to talk about the threat that Saddam Hussein posed and the intelligence, they might want to start with looking at the previous administration and their own statements that they've made," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

Doesn't sound like ducking to me. Sounds like line drive into center field.

This is the most huevos I've seen Scotty show - ever. Time for the offensive, guys!

"AP Ducks Charges of Liberal Bias"

[carlr]

The move allowed Democrats to refocus attention on the Iraq war at a time when Bush's nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court has taken the spotlight

And the AP admits what the stunt was all about in the first place.

[new yorker 77]

Let me focus the Iraq War.

Democrats pushed the threat of Saddam Hussein and WMD in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 before the war.

We debated the Iraq War in 2002. WE WON! THEY LOST!

We debated the Iraq War in 2004. WE WON! THEY LOST!

We'll debate the Iraq War in 2006. WE WIN! THEY LOSE!

As was said on TV last night, they are just mad that they didn't get the indictments they wanted. Speaking of ducks...

Fred Rustmann [co-worker of Valerie Plame]: "Well, I don't know that everybody knew. I do know that her cover began to erode the moment she started dating Joe Wilson. The thing that I said was that, you know, when you walk like a duck and quack like a duck and look like a duck, you're probably a duck.

Geez...why can't the Dems take their own advice and Moveon.org.

AP DUCKS ANY PRETENSE OF INTEGRITY

[MonroeDNA]

Let's see if the surgeon and the first Harvard MBA pres are mad enough to start playing hardball.

The frustration I feel at lack of response by the pubs makes me gnash my teeth sometimes.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

The Democrats looked at the same intel the Administration did and came to the same conclusion

Look, I'm as supportive of this war as anyone, but the Democratic talking points are that this intelligence was manipulated before they looked at it. You need to get you canned responses ready for that line of attack.
