Tony Snow ‘Defensive’ On Iraq Anniversary, Tells CNN’s Ed Henry To ‘Zip It’»

President Bush will address the fourth anniversary of the Iraq invasion in a speech today at the White House.

During this morning’s press gaggle, Tony Snow told reporters that Bush will use the speech to attack the House plan for Iraq as a “recipe for defeat” that would “provide a victory for the enemy.”

CNN’s Ed Henry told Snow that since he was attacking the House plan, he should explain the Bush administration’s “recipe for success.” According to Henry, Snow “tried to turn it around on me,” asking Henry what his recipe for success was. When Henry objected to Snow’s question, Snow told him to “zip it.” Watch it:

Henry reported, “Snow later apologized. He said he felt that was inappropriate for him to say that to me. But I point it out because I think it shows the White House a little bit on the defensive this morning about this anniversary.”

Digg It!

Transcript:

CNN: But right now let’s go live to White House correspondent Ed Henry. Ed, for much of the morning, there didn’t seem to be anything planned for the President to speak about this anniversary and then something changed.

HENRY: That’s right, Tony. The President’s schedule basically blank heading into this morning, in terms of — basically not marking this fourth anniversary of the invasion of Baghdad. That changed mid-morning when we found out the President was having a National Security Council meeting privately in the White House to get an update on the situation on the ground. And then this hour right now as we speak the President behind closed doors, a secure video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Malaki, again, trying to assess the situation on the ground. Then the President will go public, 11:30 Eastern time, that’ll be live from the Roosevelt Room here at the White House. What is he expected to say?

White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters off camera a short time ago the President will be talking about the sacrifice of U.S. servicemen and women, more than 3,200 of whom who have died, but also that the President will talk about what the White House is terming a recipe for defeat, the Democratic effort on Capitol Hill to attach restrictions to some of that funding for the war in Iraq, basically calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops, at least the beginning of that withdrawal. Tony Snow calling it — he said it would “provide victory for the enemy.” When I pressed Tony Snow, and since he’s calling flatly the Democratic plan a recipe for defeat, I asked him, four years later, what is the recipe for success? Tony Snow tried to turn it around on me in this off-camera briefing. He said, well what’s your recipe for success? How do you define it?

And when I pointed out to him that that was inappropriate for me to answer that — it’s not up for me about what the recipe for success is, what is the President’s recipe for success? — Tony felt I was interrupting him and said, “Zip it.” He later apologized. He said he felt that was inappropriate for him to say that to me. But I point it out because I think it shows the White House a little bit on the defensive this morning about this anniversary. When he finally got around to his answer, Tony Snow was saying, well, we hope obviously four years later to start turning this situation over to Iraqi forces on the ground, but he admitted, “You don’t know how things will play out.”

Well, we’ve heard that for four years now. Every time that there’s been progress, there have also been setbacks and there has also been talk about turning this over to the Iraqi army and it still has not quite happened. So, obviously, a lot of the predictions at the beginning of this war — about the length of the war, about the cost of the war, both in human sacrifice but also financial sacrifice for the American taxpayer — underestimated by this White House at the beginning of the war, Tony.

CNN: Ed, if it weren’t such a solemn day we could do about five minutes on that whole zip it exchange, but because of the the anniversary, we will let it go at that.

    Tony should check W’s zipper and make sure he put it back in the upright and locked position.

    #1. Do you expect any better from them?? Remember, the only thing Bush has ever succeeded at was being a cheerleader at Andover.


  4. ace Says:

    Let the Military JAG’s have their crack at Gonzales for aiding and abetting the criminals responsible for lying us into this war:

    Gonzalez = “Enemy Combatant” to the US Constitution, and should therefore be afforded ALL of the same “Priviliges” that he proscribed for those so designated…

    …like torture, and trial by military tribunal.


  5. Stephen Says:

    what’s next, “I know I am but what are you”?


  6. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    The lack of defining “the mission”, “success”, “victory”, etc is EXACTLY what is wrong with the overall fiasco we call the war in Iraq. As George Harrison sang, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there”. BushCo has the responsibility for the definition of its war of choice - not the media and not the Democrats.


  7. Alishye Says:

    CNN: Ed, if it wasn’t for our “unspoken” policy to roll over and take whatever this Bush Administration says as the “gospel truth” and thereby doing practically no independent investigating of our own, why then, I’m almost positive we wouldn’t let the “zip it” comment go without asking, “WTF”?!

    thanks for telling us about that, ed henry… really…

    hey, does anyone else think dubya waves like a little girl?

    please, i mean no offense to little girls…


  13. chimpeach Says:

    So the news media are not allowed to point out the president’s lack of a plan unless they’re prepared to offer one of their own? Gee, that’s a new rule.

    Are there any other presidential tasks you’d like us to take over, Tony? I’d hate to see him have to do any heavy lifting of his own.


  14. mparker Says:

    Six years of lies, treason and failure and four years of a an illegal and disasterous war based on lies.

    Nothing to see here.

    “Did Tony Snow say Zip-it?”

    STOP THE PRESSES!!!!


  15. Operation Northwoods III Says:

    Isn’t that what the Impeachment proceedings about Clinton was about : because he failed to “zip it” ( I know it’s about lying under oath)

    And we can’t impeach this Chimp over the treasonous crimes this man and his cronies have caused.


  16. mparker Says:

    Who would win a slapfight, Scott McClellan or Tony Snow?

    Let’s take it out on the playground boys.


  17. firehead Says:

    Yeah, shut up Ed from Communist News Network (CNN).

    We are at war. In fact, all you libbys should shut up. You do your country no good.


  18. Punchy Says:

    Wait–when Tony Snow said “zip it”, he was talking to Haggard and Foley and pointing at something near their waistline.


  19. P O'Neill Says:

    Snow also said in the briefing for reporters that the Dem spending bill would be victory for terrorists. So the old line from Bush’s stump speech in November is back.


  20. Jay Randal Says:

    Tony Snow should resign if he cannot take the heat over the Iraq Fiasco War and it being the 4th anniversary of its horrible beginning.


  21. Exley Says:

    Zip it!

    Look! I’m Zippi Longstockings!

    When a problem comes along, you must zip it! Zip it good!

    (Hat tip to Mike M


  22. Tom3 Says:

    Tony Snow said “zip it” because Tony Snow does not know what the recipe for success is in Iraq. Neither does his Chimp-in-Chief.

    How can you fight a war when you don’t know how to win? Or when you have won? It is impossible.


  23. OxyCon Says:

    Bush’s White House spokesperson just told a member of the FREE American Press to zip it!

    Can you get any more metaphorical than that?

    That’s what you get when you hire a Fox “News” hack.


  24. Tom3 Says:

    Actually, firehead, we are NOT at war. Congress has not declared war since 1941.

    But then, you’e a stupid Repuke with no knowledge whatsoever of our Constitution or the law. You don’t even know jack about the Second Amendment.


  25. RUCerious Says:

    So is Tony now taking offers for someone, anyone, to give them the answers they so clearly lack now?


  26. Caveman Says:

    Yeah, shut up Ed from Communist News Network (CNN).
    We are at war. In fact, all you libbys should shut up. You do your country no good.

  27. Trojan John Says:

    This reminds me of an old employer and co-worker of mine. Their daily conversations eventually degraded to hoots and grunts as each tried to establish their dominance. The co-worker was eventually clubbed over the head and had his belongings taken. Fired. I mean fired.


  28. Mistress Z Says:

    Zip it?

    I do believe I detect a trickle of cold sweat making it’s way down Snowflake’s back.


  29. Jay Randal Says:

    After Bush gives his phony speech in a few minutes, then the Democrats should demand that he and Cheney resign immediately. It’s time for the Bush Regime stupidity and baloney to end. Plus the damn war must END!


  30. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    What a damned joke. All reputable news organizations should boycott White House press conferences from this point forward.

    Think of how much easier it would be for Tony if the only attending journalist was Jeff Gannon? ^_^


  31. Jay Randal Says:

    TripMaster > if Tony Snow met Jeff Gannon, then they would be lovers > lol.


  32. Mary Poplins Says:

    The only one who should shut up is you Firehead. Ed Henry ask what is Old Bushies Recipe for Success. Old Bshies owes the American people an explanation on this war. We the American people are paying for this illegal war. Old Bushies and his cronies are stealing the Iraq OIL. It is time to IMPEACH CHENEY, OLD BUSHIES AND HIS ADMIN.

    Tom3,

    Knowledge is not required to march lock step with jack booted Nazi’s. Republicans are fascist thugs, nothing more.


  37. R Says:

    Why should the White House be on the defensive? Isn’t the Iraq war proceeding well? Isn’t the most recent troop surge buckling down the insurgent attacks? Isn’t our foreign policy ensuring strong alliances and our domestic programs at thier peak, even in a time of war? I don’t understand why the WH should feel defensive. Please Tony Snow-job, explain it to me. I’m so f*ing stupid, I just don’t get it! You’re the Goddamned expert, TELL ME!

    Verbatim quotes from when Clinton was committing troops to Bosnia:

    “You can support the troops but not the president.”
    —Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

    “Well, I just think it’s a bad idea. What’s going to happen is they’re going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years.”
    —Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

    “Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?”
    —Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

    “[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation’s armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy.”
    —Sen Rick Santorum (R-PA)

    “American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy.”
    —Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

    “If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain the y have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy.”
    —Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush

    “I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . . I didn’t think we had done enough in the diplomatic area.”
    —Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

    “I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today”
    -Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

    “Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”
    -Governor George W Bush (R-TX)

  43. Rocks911 Says:

    Smack,

    There won’t be anybody hanging from the gallows. These people rule the world and there is no justice.

    That deluded pathetic old man Don Rumsfeld who led us into this war and proclaimed that we wouldn’t be there six months later was lauded as a hero when he was let out to pasture.

    There is no accountability in this country.

    It must be hard to be one of the 29%ers who still take the NeoCon Firehose enema every day and still be able to function. So we need to cut him and the rest of the Unenlightened a little slack, don’t ya think?


  45. Kate Henry Says:

    “recipe for success”, “victory”….those are terms that the Bushies don’t seem to be able to define. So, I’ll define the terms for them:

    Recipe for Success - US contractors continue to make billions of dollars in profits from occupying Iraq.

    victory - US oil companies obtain rights to 70% of Iraq’s oil with a 30 year contract. US continues to control Iraq by the existence of an embassy larger than the Vatican’s complex and something like 15 permanent bases.


  46. Anonymous Says:

    Ed Henry rocks! Now this is reporting. Tell it like it is. Push back for answers. But, if the anchor says we could give this “zip it” comment 5 more minutes, but won’t because it is the anniversary of the invastion of Iraq, I say, you should give it 10 minutes and RIGHT NOW. RESPECTING THE TROOPS means broadcasting the truth. And the truth is this administration tries to squelch the truth. That is what Snow’s “zip it” is about. Get to the truth, CNN!


  47. Steve-O Says:

    Snow also responded by saying “Maybe you are, but what am I?”

    Meanwhile, troops are coming back from war without eyes in their sockets and some limbs sawed from their bodies.

    We need a revolution.


  48. R Says:

    #42- Rumsfeld still works at the pentagon. A number have been indicted and more are to follow. Don’t toss that negative, apathetic, resigned, oh-woe-is-me stuff out there. These people are going to pay for what they have done.

    Comment by Real RedNeck

    If you are going to misapply a quote, at least get the quote itself correct! It’s “Loose lips sink ships” and refers to not giving vital information about troop movements, etc to the enemy, not about discussing policy.


  53. Rocks911 Says:

    R,

    Yeah I’m holding my breath.

    My point is that while subordinates will be thrown under the bus those who wield power and are truly the authors of myopic policies that result in personal horrors for untold numbers of people will be given the medal of freedom award.

    Ooh indictments!
    Who’s been indicted of any consequence?

    Don’t give me the naïve, “heads are going to roll bullsh*t”.

    It is interesting that lately all the Trolls are practicing “drive-by” actions; firing off one half-assed comment and then don’t come back to try to defend it. Must be running out of Talking Points from the Rover or something.

    Reporter: “Heywood Jablowme, FOX News…Mr. Snow, isn’t it true that reporters who fail to ‘zip-it’ when they are told . . . are aiding and abetting the terrists and emboldening the enemy? Should these un-American reporters be tried and then hung for their crimes?”

    Tony Snow: Thanks for that tough question, Heywood. You don’t even need to bring kleenex tonight. Apparently, some reporters are forgetting what was clearly articulated by my predecessor quite some time ago. You are either with us or you are against us. You people had better watch what you say, watch what you do. The answer to your two parter, Heywood is . . . yes, and probably. We’ve got to fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.”

    Reporter: Fight whom?

    Er…..maybe Tony was a little drunk when he told that guy to “Zip it!”. Look the guy has inordinate amounts of pressure applied to his various physical and rhetorical/oratorical naughty bits whilst having to hold this inherited five pound bag with ten pounds of shit for it seems like an eternity. But my numerous years in this hyper-dimensional energy shell avail me this one maxim: Try and wax existential, it’s all kind of pointless in a way. Don’t deprive the world of much needed exquisite cynicism! Cynicism? It’s a derby! Can cheese hats be far behind? Greet the world, such as it is (Hey! It wasn’t my idea!), with bodacious élan and righteous maelstrom! Remember the three R’s: Repetition, repetition, repetition…….. It could always be worse. You could be working at the 7UP bottling company!

    As you know, rampant hydraulic auditing occurs as local implanted Neo-con agents gambol with gay abandon. And even though it’s a disaster on all levels and I pleaded to no avail, I now stand here smiling that Iowa tourist flat-line smile, not a care in the world. Heedless to my ministrations, Councilman Bret Broff voted for new Japanese Maples for the parkway leading up to the gazebo. But, as it stands, I do have an option. That is, vulcanization or public floggings. For my part, I’ve always taken the Catholic view. “Deny. Kick ‘em in the grill, they’ll never get up.” Father Pustulant interjected his canonical two cents. “En nostra de genitilia, en nomenos philopian flagelation.” He’s such a screw up and part-time philatelist that all the women in attendance were patted down for excessive pudenda. I’m sorry you weren’t there. In honor of the present administration I have saved all my viral sputum in my mother’s Bell jar. The neck spasms and migraine-like, vomit inducing headaches were amenable to China White. So I spoke to the sawbones Jones, and she, the nurse-practitioner, gave me a shot in the Coulter and a bag full of pills and I pulled my pants down. It was spiritual, a trailer-park, seedy kind of spirituality. A spiritual house with areola the size of Buick hub caps and nipples as hard as a linoleum kitchen counter top.

    First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

    We seem to be at the “fight you” stage.


  82. American Says:

    Once again… the liberal nutsacks come out and rant they’re oh so tired gibberish. One thing for sure… tomorrow is going to be a great day with Al “the chief nutsack in charge” Gore… trying to defend his hypocritical - “the sky is falling” bullshit.

    BTW… Tony is the man and you liberal pussies can eat shit.

    It seems to me that herr snow is becoming more and more like “Baghdad Bob”.

    Oh, and speaking of dubya waving, the other evening I watched him waving as
    he exited the first helo and I wondered who he was waving at. There was a
    reflection of the light on the side of the helo and all I could see was a female
    walking away from him. I guess his handlers have him do that so we will think
    he’s still alive.

    Speaking of Kyle Sampson, I think he was hired so he could be Karl Rove’s
    mini me.

    I think this is just further proof that human beings and Republicans should be segregated. It isn’t fair that we have to live with them. We are a superior race. I know they look like us, but the human brain is substantially larger and more developed. They rant and call names and wage war out of their inferiority complex as a species. They live in fear of us as they should. I’m not saying put them in zoos or anything. I’m saying that maybe we should think about doing that so that our children could see them for what they are and not be influenced by their irrational behavior.
    Okay, so maybe I am saying that Republicans belong in zoos. But, not the humane kind.
