Congresswoman Pelosi, Democrat of California, who met with Mr. Kay in a secure room in the Capitol at 8:45 this morning, told reporters after the meeting that "it was clear to me that there was no imminence of a threat for weapons of mass destruction," as the White House had claimed.
Note how the Times injected "as the White House had claimed" - we have no idea if Pelosi was going to say that. The media is in hyperdrive to establish that lie - it's gotten so bad that Bloomberg claimed after Bush's appearance today where he answered a couple of questions about Kay's report that Bush said the report showed that the threat was "imminent" - IN QUOTES - when that word is nowhere in the transcript.
If I see the words "imminent threat" again as words supposedly coming from Dubya's mount, I'm going to SCREAM!!!!!
When the Dems try to stick this false fact in, the newscasters should stop the speaker...say something like...Did President Bush really say that? I think he said something more like: The United States cannot wait for the threat to be imminent because then it will be too late.
This is just another BIG distortion by the RATs. Remember how they kept repeating "the United States is going it alone"? Tim Russert stopped Dean dead in his tracks when he questioned him on "Are we really going it alone?" After that Dean kept stumbling over it because he's said the lie too many times that he automatically repeats his canned phrase. But, after that rebuke by Russert, he at least tried to correct himself. Even then, Dean himself should have noticed how many times he used the phrase by the number of times he had to correct himself -- over and over again--during the interview.
Not only did he read the report, he even made it easier for us to understand the dry lingo and dull facts.
Great job setting the record straight.
