White House consults the “experts.”
Amir Taheri, “who published an op-ed in Canada’s National Post about an Iranian law that forced Jews to wear a yellow stripe” that turned out to be a fabrication, this week “had a face-to-face with the President as one of a small group of ‘experts’ on Iraq that visited the White House.”

Jeez – this White house makes Alfred E. Newman look good by comparison….
The spy vs. spy’s were better in MAD too.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:11 pmThis reminds me of when they consulted Hollywood screenwriters post-9/11 on possible terrorist attacks… though that perhaps even had more merit than meeting with someone who fabricates in his articles.

Bush was getting new tips on fabrication, since, by the polls, Americans are seeing past the current fabrications he is using.
What an idiot, kinda like asking Carl Sagan about global warming =P
May 31st, 2006 at 3:17 pmTaheri is a member of the heavily Jewish influenced, ultra-war-mongering, anti-Arab, so-called “think tank” (nowadays simply known as PR firms) named Benador Associates (Richard Perle is even a member!)
Bushy likey very muchy.
They deserve each other, but the World deserves MUCH better.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:32 pmdon’t forget how much access Chalabi had before the war in Iraq. Talk about picking and choosing.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:46 pmWhy, oh why do we have to suffer such a man? Why were the American people so stupid as to vote to keep this man in office?
How much longer can this go on?
May 31st, 2006 at 3:48 pmHe was on CSpan this morning. I’d never heard of him before but within 23 seconds I realized he was full of shit. According to him everything in Iraq is wonderful. Almost like heaven on earth. Perfect advisor to dear leader.
May 31st, 2006 at 4:10 pmThe day the Bush Regime asks info from real experts then Hell will freeze over > lol.
May 31st, 2006 at 4:16 pm#8 – In the forecast today we have continued temperatures in the 90s, next week the temps will go into the 100s…stay tuned for today’s headlines from Katie Couric…
May 31st, 2006 at 4:27 pmSounds like someone is throwing another “curveball” at Bush.
May 31st, 2006 at 4:38 pmTaheri did not fabricate the story himself. It was first floated by notorious Mossad agent Conrad Black, picked up by the Jerusalem Post and subsequently promoted by both Taheri and the Weisenthal Institute. All parties involved in this propaganda ploy to encourage the invasion of Iran have refused to comment on their brazen lies. Israel really is the tail that wags the dog.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:02 pmConsidering the magnitude of his ‘error’ on his story about Iran, BushCo should not be listening to a single word this man has to say, let alone, inviting him in to give his ‘opinion’ on ANYTHING! But they are stupid as hell, why should this be any different? They want bad intel, and crazy lies. Gotta sell us on Iran. The truth won’t work. Release the propaganda!!
May 31st, 2006 at 10:32 pmThe small group of ‘experts’ on Iraq that visited the White House included Max Smart, the Superagent 86?

Krazny,
…this is EXACTLY WHY this charlatan Taheri has been invited to “advise” Bushiva on Iraq/Iran…
…so that later- when sh*t hits the fan- Bushiva can claim that he was “mislead”…
…the MO for this criminally inept, corrupt and murderous Bushite regime…
…is as transparent- to global observers, and honest, THINKING Americans- as the hypocrisy inherent in the American double standard (relating to justice for the haves and have nots)
… and WASP male privilege/hegemony and manifest destiny…
…that the right wing inbred al Crackers of America espouse and support…

I didn’t know these details, thanks for this purvis.
June 1st, 2006 at 10:17 amNotice how much Israel has stepped up its program of killing Palestinians?
They have the go-ahead from Bushiva. After all, all of these men, women and children are terrist.
