Several Video clips at the website...starting with Schumer...
*******************************EXCERPTS*************************
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, backed Pelosi.
“I think it’s a tempest in a teapot really to say: Well, Speaker Pelosi should have known all of this, she should have stopped this, she should have done this or done that,” she said.
“I don’t want to make an apology for anybody, but in 2002, it wasn’t 2006, 07, 08 or 09. It was right after 9/11, and there were in fact discussions about a second wave of attacks.”

Obama clip on his latest 180,,,

1) Dems KNEW (Hot Air has a great example of for/against/for/against dance done by political partisan posterboy Chuck Schumer)
2) Dems KNOW it worked
3) Dems have covered their complicity and ignorance regarding the war on terror since before 911, and have done so primarily by attacking Republicans and using them as scapegoats…all the while they were doing the exact same things, supporting the same measures behind closed doors, funding CIA prison programs in Intelligence Appropriations bills, and then pretending to be on some moral high ground.
They tried to distract from their own incompetence again by releasing the “torture memos” to shift discussion away from insane levels of spending with no results (even worse results). They miscalculated. They forgot that they have unchecked power, and thus unchecked accountability.
Now they’re trying to run away from the topic lest it get more press that they knew about “torture” and railed against it. Worse yet, if the press starts to look at who knew what/when…people might see that yeah, Democrats KNEW about pre-war intel on Iraq, and it wasn’t a case of Bushliedpeopledied (the timeline is 100% clear on this as are the bi-partisan investigations and reports). People might actually realize that Sen Rockefeller misled about a lack of WMD threat because he KNEW what was found. Sen Levin misled about regime ties to Al Queda because he’d been briefed too. All these briefings took place around the same time the torture briefings did. Dems want to back outta that research alley FAST.
The problem is…their base won’t let em.
WELCOME
"And there goes trouble down the drain."
Fox’s Carl Cameron summed it up best after Nancy’s disastrous presser earlier today:
“Republicans are blood-thirsty-—they believe they can really mess Pelosi up on this one.”
If Pelosis was asked to comment about the weather, she would go into an insane rant about GW, Cheney and the CIA.
That goes over really great in Gay Frisco where she is Queen of the Deviates, and it is starting to get very old with a lot of Americans across the board.
She has become a nuisance and a PIA for 0b0z0 and Rhambo. She may become the latest rat to go under the Ob0z0 bus.
Walking the Plank: The Original Waterboarding!
The Democrats cut and run from anything the requires brains, morals, patriotism and courage.
LOL.....oh my!
Old one Ernest, just redid some words!
Informed and happy about it.
We should hold a national contest. See what Demorat actually can score the most points on proven flip flops. She may not quite be in Zero or Hanoi Johns league but I bet she would give them a good run for the money.

Excellent pick potlatch
Lol, remodeling the oldies. Don’t feel like making a bunch of new ones right now.
Thanks devolve
.
The Golden Oldies keep coming back now
Lol, they’re always new to someone! Hopefully.
.
The media smells blood in the water and will not let Pelosi skate
They are liberals - but want the big story - and to be in the spotlight before another journalist grabs it
They do tend to wait until its unavoidable, lol.
