More confirmation that Pelosi lied
Hot Air ^ | May 9, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 05/09/2009 7:36:12 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Nancy Pelosi’s attempt to evade responsibility for her role in approving the use of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques took another hit today in the Washington Post — and this time the fire comes from her side of the aisle. Pete Hoekstra upped the ante as well, demanding the release of precise minutes of Congressional briefings, and Leon Panetta has promised to make them available, at least to Capitol Hill:

Let’s start the train moving. Who’s going to replace Pelosi as speaker? I’ll bet there’s some behind the scenes action by Steny Hoyer to maneuver his way in the seat if Pelosi “ loses their confidence.”

Could this be roundabout by the Clintonistas? Panetta used to work for the other Queen Bee in DC, didn't he?

There's got to be some other Dems out there that think it's time for Nancy to go. She's getting politically dangerous to them with this.

But in the end, the stupid bitch just flat out lied. The media can't sweep this one under the rug. This could be a steamroller starting to roll over her crinkled carcass.

She deserves every bit of Hell that awaits her, in this life AND the next.

The sad and dangerous thing is that many of us have served in the military on various battlefields and in various capacities. What you a taught from basic training on is that orders you're given are ultimately directed and approved by the civilian leadership. How is this explained? Because the congress have oversight and because of the need for secrecy only the very top leadership is briefed and approves what directional orders you are given.

She and the Democrats are destroying the trust that is required to get the individual players to follow difficult orders. Very dangerous when you have to question if you will later be on trial and that uncertainty will cost lives maybe millions of lives.

Obama has already proven he’ll throw anyone who gets in his way under the bus...Pelosi would simply be the most prominent one to date.

More confirmation that Pelosi lied

Nancy Pelosi is a fair-weather patriot. A year or two after 9/11, she was all gung-ho to get the bad guys, never raising a peep of an objection to any tactics proposed. Now, ensconced in her cushy leadership role, with Democratic rule ahead for as far as the eye can see, she suddenly finds it expedient to cluck-cluck about those evil Republicans who tortured those hapless Gitmo detainees without her knowledge or permission.

If hypocrisy were the coin of the realm, Nancy Pelosi would be far, far richer on her own than her rich husband has made her by marrying her.

“Is zer0’s bus preparing to back up over SanFran Nan?” Apparently, he won’t have to unless he’s just jealous about her “outlieing” him the last few days. The committee apparently had to take an oath that none of what was discussed there should ever be talked about outside. She can keep up her lying without fear of the transcripts(if they do exist) ever being released to any probes or truth commissions.

FYI: The org "World Can't Wait" is an "anti-war" front for the Revolutionary Communist Party. The RCP, on their website, calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Former Abu Ghraib Brigadier General, Janis Karpinski, is listed as an "endorser" of the WCW movement on the World Can't Wait website.

House Judiciary Committee chairman/chief Bush administration "torture investigator", democrat John Conyers Jr of Michigan has also given his endorsement to the Revolutionary Communist Party movement/organization, "World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime" (they'll probably be dropping the "Drive Out the Bush Regime" portion of their name soon).

Click on the WCW link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include". Conyers' endorsement appears right after Ward Churchill's. Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson's are further down the list. Former Black Panther, Illinois congressman Bobby Rush, is on the list as well. (the BPs were Maoist revolutionaries/domestic terrorists). (Janis) Karpinski's name appears several after convicted cop killer/Black Panther/communist revolutionary, Mumia Abu-Jamal's.

Debunking the Deranged Charges by Media Darling Col. Karpinski

Let's see... the media needed to find someone to play along with their Haditha madness so who better than the... discredited, delusional, blaming, angry, and paranoid Colonel Janis Karpinski of Abu Ghraib fame who has mysteriously moved from villainess to hero in the eyes of the mainstream media.

Well, maybe not so mysterious since Karpinski is now a crowd favorite for the Far Left enthusiasts.

Karpinski with fellow extremist and Castro supporter Harry Belafonte at the January "International Commission of Inquiry On Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration"


Colonel Karpinski is a definite crowd pleaser with the anti-war crowd for her strange attacks on the military and Bush Administration.

Judiciary Chairman Conyers Issues Report Documenting Bush Abuses, Calling For Further Committee Investigation, Blue-Ribbon Panel, and Criminal Probes

For Immediate Release
January 13, 2009
Contact: Jonathan Godfrey, Lillian German

(Washington, D.C.) -- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. released a nearly-500 page report documenting numerous abuses and excesses of the Bush administration. The report, titled "Reining in the Imperial Presidency: Lessons and Recommendations Relating to the presidency of George W. Bush," contains 47 separate recommendations designed to restore the traditional checks and balances of our constitutional system. Recommendations include calls for continued committee investigation, a blue ribbon commission to fully investigate administration activities, and independent criminal probes.

"Even after scores of hearings, investigations, and reports, we still do not have answers to some of the most fundamental questions left in the wake of Bush’s Imperial Presidency," Conyers said. Pointing to allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, extraordinary rendition, warrantless domestic surveillance, the Valerie Plame Wilson-leak, and the U.S. attorney scandal, Conyers continued, "Investigations are not a matter of payback or political revenge – it is our responsibility to examine what has occurred and to set an appropriate baseline of conduct for future administrations."

In addition to the set of recommendations, the report contains a foreword by Chairman Conyers and detailed discussions of: the administration’s legal approach to presidential power; the politicization of the Department of Justice; the administration’s far-reaching assaults on individual liberty (including torture, extraordinary rendition, and warrantless domestic surveillance); the misuse of Executive Branch authority; the administration’s retribution against its critics; and the administration’s excessive secrecy, noncompliance with congressional oversight, and manipulation of pre-Iraq War intelligence.

I remember that while telling the lie she mangled a word, a sure sign that she was lying.

This provides an amazingly good insight into the mindset of the Left. The exact same thing that is Good in 2002 - “the proles want the Country defended” (by waterboarding) becomes something that is bad in 2009 - “Bush's Administration committed torture” (by waterboarding). So we see Pelosi, who has lied through her teeth to defend herself once the facts start emerging, trying to change the ‘facts’ to suit her purpose.

“I didn't know” becomes “I don't remember that” becomes “they said something different” becomes in the current iteration “you see, it doesn't actually say that” (Thank you Clinton)

The Left has never had a problem with telling lies. Communist theology elevates it to one of the must-use tools of The Struggle. Kind of like ‘the state will wither away when we achieve our goals.’ Conservatives should always be on alert to trap and expose these lies as ruthlessly as possible. The Left won't stop and they are not embarrassed when caught out for they are doing a Good Thing. The truth has to be shown as unambiguously as possible. Let's do away with Newspeak “I misspoke” and substitute “you lied”

With grateful thanks to the insights of George Orwell.

My pre-coffee morning-blurry eyes read "More confirmation that Pelosi died."

At first I was jubilant. Then I thought, with all the face lifts and botox, how would anybody really know for sure?
