As the Nancy turns
The London Daily Mail ^ | May 16, 2009 | Don Surber

A CNN news clip from May 22, 2002, shows Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was not as out-of-the-loop as she now claims on interrogations.

William Jacobson provided a little more evidence that Pelosi was not the clueless babe in the woods in 2002 that she now says she was.

Pelsoi, after all, was the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. No one in Congress would know more than she.

Jacobson dug out this from an old CNN clip:

CNN.com, May 22, 2002: Last Monday night, the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force–a round-the-clock operation at the New York field office of the FBI–got a call from FBI headquarters. Abu Zubaydah, the highest al-Qaeda official to be captured by the U.S., had told interrogators that he had heard other Osama bin Laden loyalists discussing attacks on the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and other U.S. landmarks. But, a federal law-enforcement official told TIME, Abu Zubaydah had said the conversations took place a while back and claimed he knew of no particular plan.

Since his capture in March, Abu Zubaydah has shared some valuable information, says a senior U.S. intelligence source. “He’s not b.s.ing us on everything.”

Then again, says Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, “he is also very skilled at avoiding interrogation. He is an agent of disinformation.”

So she not only knew, but she was correcting the intelligence professionals.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

“... says Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi...’...He is an agent of disinformation.’”

So now we know where she learn her technique.

That reminds me of when Lieberman was telling everyone he was going to investigate the Enron mess until Clinton's fingers were found all over it, and then you never heard another word about investigations.

Yes, that is amazing isn’t it. But I noticed something the other day (going off topic for a moment)...hasn’t it been sometime since anyone has heard from that low life tax cheat Geithner?

Anyway, back to the witch...I think it went too far, and to see her trying to cover it up during that press conference, was just pathetic. No, maybe the next person in line to step in as speaker is starting to get itchy fingers for the position. I think because she went SO far with it, and didn’t let it die out, they will distance themselves.

Besides, the simple fact that they are the ones pushing so hard to prosecute wrong doers with regards to the waterboarding, & it turns out that she herself lied about it, is a HUGE slap in the face to her comrades.

Unfortunately, with Democrats the only time one will go down (or be taken down) is when they take a Republican down with them (to make it a bipartisan scandal). Only Republicans go down solo.

How do you see Hillary becoming president in 2010 or 2011? How could that possibly happen?

Nancy has now made the Clintoonians angry with her as well as being an embarrassment for the great 0b0z0.

On Sept. 4, 2002, less than a year after 9/11, the CIA briefed Rep. Porter Goss, then House Intelligence Committee chairman, and Mrs. Pelosi, then the committee’s ranking Democrat, on EITs including water boarding. They were the first members of Congress to be informed.

So, who was the director of the CIA, from 9/11 to 2004?

George J. Tenet was the Director of CIA, from 1997–2004 .

Tenet was appointed by President Clinton and approved by Congress. Tenet then became the CIA director in August of 1997 and was the CIA director during the time line of Pelosi’s vile lies.

So, Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her or ordered his congressional briefers to lie to her.

Tenet and Panetta were Clintoonian people and worked with Rhambo.

Pelosi has put herself in a very dangerous situation with her stupid and vile mouth with the Clintoonians, 0b0z0 B0Ts and Republicans wanting her and her mouth out of American politics.
