Sen. Bond to the WH: 'I’m Supposed to Apologize?'
ABC ^ | 2/4/10 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 02/04/2010 4:21:28 PM PST by Nachum

The ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., dismissed the White House’s call for him to apologize for alleging that the administration leaked information about Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab for political reasons.

"After telling me to keep my mouth shut, the White House discloses sensitive information in an effort to defend a dangerous and unpopular decision to Mirandize Abdulmutallab and I’m supposed to apologize?" Sen. Bond said in a paper statement today.

Bond’s statement followed White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ strongly-worded suggestion today that the Senator owed an apology to the law enforcement community and those who work in the White House.

The fact is that information only came out later after being convinced by his family.

Had he not been convinced by his family (and maybe a plea deal was made as well), the FBI wouldn't have gotten anything from the guy.

Not fighting back was what got the Repubs in their pickle. Keep speaking out.

Uh, thing is, Senator Bond is absolutely right, and even a caveman could figure that out.

Remember everything is the opposite with these Leftist clowns. They always try to turn it around when there is smoke and fire.

It’s been pointed out all day that all these universally “anonymous” administration sources megaphoning the story that undybomber is talking kinda, sorta has the effect of warning the Yemani network to go to ground...

But that’s beside the point. The object of the game is to cover for “O” and Holder.

I’m still mad that Joe Wilson apologized. Apologizing to these arrogant clowns just empowers them.

Bummer would rather spill sensitive beans to be able to say “oh, fortunately it turns out it didn’t matter after all for this guy” than to admit “we goofed.”

And this is going to get Bummer in dutch with liberals too, at least those who are half honest. Because it’s part of what earned them Scott Brown.

Yup. Obama and Holder to the American-born imam: wherever you are right now, this guy is singing like a bird, so get the heck out of Dodge!

What is even more infuriating is that Joe Wilson apologized after being encouraged - directed by the Republican “leadership” to do so.

Why didn’t the Bummer quietly share this with all the complaining Congresscritters and ask them to tone it down so we can catch the perps in the act.

nobama should apologize for not resigning when he was asked to take the oath of Presidency. His hatred for America is obvious and unfortunate (even though he protests that).
