WALLACE: ...in October of 2002 in which you authorized the use of force, you went further than the president ever did. Let's watch:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ROCKEFELLER: I do believe that Iraq poses an imminent threat, but I also believe that after September 11th that question is increasingly outdated.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WALLACE: Now, the president never said that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat. As you saw, you did say that. If anyone hyped the intelligence, isn't it Jay Rockefeller?
ROCKEFELLER: No. I mean, this question is asked a thousand times and I'll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq, that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.
Now, the intelligence that they had and the intelligence that we had were probably different. We didn't get the presidential daily briefs. We got only a finished product, a finished product, a consensual view of the intelligence community, which does not allow for agencies — like in the case of the aluminum tubes, the Department of Energy said these aren't thick enough to handle nuclear power.
They left that out and went ahead with, "They have aluminum tubes and they're going to develop nuclear power."
WALLACE: Senator, you're quite right. You didn't get the presidential daily brief or the senior executive intelligence brief. You got the national intelligence estimate.
But the Silberman commission, a presidential commission that looked into this, did get copies of those briefs, and they say that they were, if anything, even more alarmist, even less nuanced, than the intelligence you saw...

These people are not stupid, they are anti-American. Their enemy is the US, always has been and always will be, the only difference between 1941 and now is that they are overt rather than covert with their goals. They are now able to be overt with their hatred because the people have been softened, through media, education, drugs, sexuality, etc. just as Marx promised they would be.
Habit.
Delusions of grandeur by association.
Not looking at the record.
All of the above.
Even just reading Rockefeller's response, I could hear him stammering and phumphering.
Among that traffic may be an open and shut case to nail Jay on treason charges.

The transcript from yesterday's FNS. Jay Rockefeller's comment referenced in my post on the Sunday talking head thread.

Your post is a good summary of events. The Democrats' contention that they were manipulated makes them look like idiots.
Democrats generally make themselves look like idiots with no effort at all. I think it's genetic.

I think I read on Free Republic that the RNC is going to run TV ads showing Bill Clinton, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi all on tape stating that Saddam was a threat..... Does anyone know when those ads are going to debut?
I know. I know.
My question is IF Treason procedures work like Impeachment procedures do.
Do you know the answer to my question?
~guffaw!~
"The lifeguard" couldn't swim his way out of his wedgie!
Smith, what did you edit out? Hmmmm???
Here's a question for Rockefeller: if he thought war was inevitable in January, 2002, why is he criticizing the President for going to war? Or doesn't he recognize the contradiction?
He sure did. Nailed Rockefeller's little wealthy treasonous b*tt to the wall.
Rockefeller is dancing around the issue, so much, Chris Wallace really tries to NAIL HIM to the wall.
My point is Liberals cannot be nailed down because they ARE JELLO to begin with.
No ideas, No principles, just pure silly putty, they try and mold themselves for every situation and nuance, LOL!
But Rockefeller must have looked RIDICULAS to smart people.
If Rockefeller wasn't such a disgusting, traitorous POS that might actually be funny. I wonder how many good men died because he couldn't keep his mouth shut?

Sen Roberts was like milkToast.....hated it!
