Report says Pentagon manipulated intel

Associated Press ^ | 02/09/07 | ROBERT BURNS

Report: Robert Burns manipulates the truth....always.

[RexBeach]

When the Democrats get control of Congress, the Pentagon is always evil.

What a remarkable coincidence.

[himno hero]

why don't thy just concede and admit they were planning for the upcoming confrontation with Iran that started with Carter?

[pissant]

LOL. Indeed.

[zook]

Nowhere in this article do we read an example of manipulation.

[tobyhill]

This is a BS title by the AP. If it was manipulated then it was illegal which the AG found it was not even though in the AG's word was "inappropriate". Cherry-picked maybe but not manipulated.

Shirley you are joking. Did you notice how disrespectfully those frat boys in uniform have been treating the most powerful woman in the world recently?

[savedbygrace]

Ping.

Surely you have a number of translated Iraqi documents that dispute Levin and this report, don't you?

[jeffers]

Agreed.

This is the weakest "damning" report I've ever seen, no substabce at all.

[PeterPrinciple]

was inappropriate but not illegal.

This is the gist of the whole article as far as I can tell. This is why it is "damming" Nothing here to really justify the headline.

[pissant]

That's how Burns and co. always work. Headlines claiming dastardly deeds (by GOPers only, of course), a provocative first two or three paragraphs summarizing the supposed deeds with no context, followed, maybe by the actual words of the report buried at the end.

[jveritas]

Exactly. The title of the article does not relate at all to its content, but this is crAP, what do you expect.

[Proudcongal]

Am I the only one who never heard Bush make a connection between Iraq and al qaeda? I heard liberals claim many times that Bush made such a connection, but going back to the 2003 SOTU speech, for example, no connection was made except that both are part of the WOT and that AQ may have trained in Iraq. Another example of libs conjuring up "facts."

[dfwgator]

Shirley you are joking.

[jveritas]

Absolutely. How many regimes do we know that met with Osama Bin Laden? The answer is THREE and NO OTHER. The Taliban, The Sudanese government, and yes Saddam regime. The Iraqi intelligence per the authorization of Saddam met with Bin Lade in in Sudan in 1995.

[whatexit]

It doesn't matter to the Dems and the media what the report actually says - only what they SAY it says. Typical.

[jveritas]

What is the % of Americans who are aware of Saddam regime and Bin Laden meeting in Sudan in 1995? I will say very few. Imagine that the American people were aware of such a fact before the war in Iraq, do not you think that they would have been more convinced than ever that we should take Saddam terrorist regime out? I say of course.

[NonValueAdded]

Does the Report say it or does Carl Levin say it? Its the latter. Misleading headline alert!

[Obadiah]

...said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.

You can stop reading right there. For the next two years this is all you will see, muckraking by Democrats, and a compliant liberal press carrying their screeching half-truths and lies. For the record, let's hear it one more time from Libertarians how it was such a great thing to teach Republicans a lesson. Are you listening Neal Boortz?
