Re: Sen. Obama translates what Private Acct in SS
Having seen all of the information that was presented to 'prove' the presence of WMD's, a reasonable person would conclude that they were either retards, picked the 'evidence' to suit their thesis, or just outright were full of crap. I'll settle for incompetent if 'liars' just doesnt suit.
If you do want an outright lie on the matter, how about one of my favorites?
On Dec. 9, 2001. Cheney talking to NBC's Tim Russert.
Cheney: "Well, what we now have that's developed since you and I last talked, Tim, of course, was that report that -- it's been pretty well confirmed that he did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack. Now, what the purpose of that was, what transpired between them, we simply don't know at this point, but that's clearly an avenue that we want to pursue."
June 17, 2004. Vice President Cheney talking to CNBC's Gloria Borger.
Borger: "Well, let's go to Mohamed Atta for a minute, because you mentioned him as well. You have said in the past that it was, quote, 'pretty well confirmed.' "
Cheney: "No, I never said that."
Borger: "Okay."
Cheney: "Never said that."
Borger: "I think that is . . . "
Cheney: "Absolutely not. What I said was the Czech intelligence service reported after 9/11 that Atta had been in Prague on April 9th of 2001, where he allegedly met with an Iraqi intelligence official. We have never been able to confirm that nor have we been able to knock it down."
That is, what we in sales used to call "a lie". Both of these little routines are available on video tape if you dont believe the text. When a press droid was probed on the matter, he said that cheneys original statement was taken out of context. As reasonable people, someone wanna tell me how you take that original statement 'out of context'?
For the record, the exact information provided is that some guy claimed that someone told him that they had heard that Atta had been in Prague. Heck of a trip from that to being 'pretty much confirmed' that there was a connection...
But yeah, those BJ lies are more important.
