And the line I just quoted doesn't exist on the Compost's page, though I know they might have edited it out.

You're right. I'm going to "Email Sullivan" about this. (Thanks for pointing it out.)

The program showed tape of Bush saying the 45 minute thing. I was surprised, because I also did not remember him saying that.

Yeah, I think they clipped it so you didn't hear him attribute that to British intelligence. (Same thing they did with the 14/16 words.) As I said previously those who belied Smith's mewling quibbles received a reasonable amount of air time, but there were several times that it seemed the film was clipped soley to protect Smith's spin. As I remember Smith whimpered the "no links to al-Qaeda" lie in an interview with Makiya, and Makiya answered something like, "that's your spin, not mine," but it sounded like he had more to say that was cut off.

The horrible truth is that people are falling for this crap. Many of my friends and co workers who once supported Bush now are repeating the leftist's talking points they see on the media and are turning against the President and the war on terror.
To me, they have gone so far, that this is bordering on treason against this country. They are putting our troops and all of us in mortal danger with their lies. I am very much questioning whose side they are on.

Lucifer's side. The U.S. is the most hated nation in the world becaise it was founded on Christian principles by Christians.

Thanks for the info. I never want to "Throw the baby out with the bath water," so I'll tune in again. Maybe I just happened to catch the worst of the worst.
