Most transparent gubmint ever!
No, I didn’t know that, Gibbs....why not?
Why? Don't want to insult your terrorist constituents? Or is the administration truly bummed that the home team scored a point?
he won’t comment about these matters.
WHY, all the phony kept doing was the need for transparency, will be now hear the cries of warmonger from the left?
I won’t hold my breath
Rocky start for the press. I don’t think “no comment” is going to cut it. But I am going to start reminding certain media figures of what “openness and transparency” used to mean during the Bush Golden Age. BTT.
already done it to the media.
sent letters about the lobbyist, birth certificate and this situation.
Don’t mention the war....(anyone remember that British comedy?)
I don’t know if it’s been said yet, but.....
OBAMA’S FAULT!
I am guessin’ ol BO hopes to get Osama in one of these strikes so he can rub everyones nose in it.
I don’t think he would continue the strikes if Bush had gotten him already.
War Crimes.
0bama is a murderer! Pakistan never attacked us! How many need to die in 0bama’s illegal war? It’s time he was frogmarched into The Hague!
Obama’s Fault and War!
You know, it would be a lot easier if the Obama administration were more transparent and honest. Obama promised us during the campaign that he would be sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, ostensibly with the purpose of killing even more of the bad guys.
It would be refreshing to hear the press secretary stand behind the campaign promises. Example: “Yes Sir. People were killed, and be prepared for even more deaths in the near future as we ramp up our Afghanistan war effort.”
Maybe they didn’t know about it.
Obama Lied and People Died!
Translation: PRESENT
Fawlty Towers.
On quickly scanning the excerpt, I thought that we'd attacked militant Dems.
Imagine my disappointment.
