Want a good laugh? Think about how long we have discussed the Risen book, and how FR and others have disected it. Add in both of your insights into what goes on and how things work. Then add in Democrats have to wait for their side to develop talking points. Well.... this just came to me by a so-called local Democrat activist. At minimum, it's taken them four days to get it and figure out how to spin it.

CIA 'Ignored Iraqi Weapons Evidence'
By Rupert Cornwell
The Independent UK

Wednesday 04 January 2006

The Bush administration is facing new charges over its handling of pre-war intelligence, with a book alleging that the CIA ignored a mass of evidence gleaned from Iraqi weapons scientists, months before the 2003 invasion, that Saddam Hussein had abandoned his WMD programs.

According to the book, State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration, Sawsan alHaddad, sister of an Iraqi nuclear scientist, was one of 30 foreign-based Iraqis who agreed to contact relatives supposedly working on weapons development. Every one reported that the programs did not exist.

"Don't they know there is no nuclear program?," her brother told her. The nuclear programme had been dead since 1991. "We don't have enough spare parts for our conventional military, we can't even shoot down an airplane, we don't have anything left," she reported him saying. A month later the national intelligence estimate on Iraq's alleged WMD was issued, stating that Iraq was "reconstituting its nuclear program".

The book, written by James Risen, a New York Times journalist, depicts an enfeebled and blunder-prone CIA. Its most striking chapter concerns the National Security Agency, and the disclosure that it has for three years been conducting electronic surveillance without warrants against US citizens.

President Bush has ordered an inquiry into the leak, and the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee is to hold hearings in the next few weeks.

The book provides detail of the tension over Iraq between George W Bush and his father. It recounts how Mr. Bush "angrily hung up the telephone" after his father, who was President from 1998 to 1992, complained that his son was allowing the Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, "and a cadre of neoconservative ideologues" to exert excessive influence over foreign policy.

The Demodummies are very behind in fundraising and this is despite all of George Soreass' money, and other flim flam ways to go around campaign finance laws. There are all kinds of red flags waving now for both parties and there are a lot of Dem Donors that will be walking around on tippy toes giving bits here and there afraid to be caught up in anything that could show their sleazy A$$es for the world to see. The new Media is on the Job and no matter how much the Old "has been" media ignores the democrat atrocities and tries to push anything to make the Pubbies look bad, the New Media is ready to fire up the Blogosphere , and with space age technology leave the Old Fart media in the dust. Lets get em, take no prisoners, March or Die.......

Rush has his number(Sen. Kennedy) he plays a bit on 24/7 it goes something like this:
Kennedy answering questions,
"Sen Kennedy will you continue to drink scotch for breakfast? Kennedy's reply;
"Well, I dam sure won't be eating Cheerios."

Pretty much sums up the life and times of the beached whale aka Sen Kennedy.

[Txsleuth]

Very true about the dems vs. Al Queda..

At least with Al-Queda, you KNOW how they feel...you KNOW they want to cut your head off...

But, when you have Schmuckies smiling his oily smile..and talking about how much more the dems CARE for people...you just know that he wouldn't give the time of day to you or I if we were to meet him on the street.

[samantha]

Those are actual quotes from Kennedy trying to tell jokes, and it is very clever how Rush does that, but that is why he gets the big bucks and has the great staff.

[eeevil conservative]

HA! LOL! I love how they are now advertising on the TV! LOL!

[samantha]

RE: cutting McCain off at the pass...by contacting our Senators..

Don't you guys get the impression, though, that some of the GOP Senators, even the ones NOT considered RINOS, seem "afraid" to go against McCain???

And, don't you think that since this Abramoff thing has caused Delay to quit his ML post...whether he is guilty or not...that this has become such a "cause celebre"..

That they will NOT fight McCain's effort to steamroll new legislation that in the end, could be just as WRONG as Campaign Finance Reform???

[rodguy911]

Good to see you crawl out of you igloo MNJ, it is amazing what the rats think they can get away with.

[snugs]

What is a a frito pie?

[saveliberty]

[eeevil conservative]

They believe what backs up their own paradeigm....anything that challenges their paradeigm MUST be destroyed....and all things must be spun to support their paradeigm.... they may be educated, etc...just scared of anything that challenges their view...

they'd believe a guy with a cart drinking from a paper bag if it supported their ideology....

[rodguy911]

Some of us are adding the word asshole to the dem side!!
