Evidence Emerging Of Cheney-Led Smear Campaign Against Pelosi Over Syria Trip

Before Nancy Pelosi left Israel to travel to Syria earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s spokeswoman Miri Eisin said “Pelosi is conveying that Israel is willing to talk if they (Syria) would openly take steps to stop supporting terrorism.” Pelosi delivered as requested, and this week received a thank you call from Olmert. So why then did the Israeli Prime Minister originally issue a statement of “clarification” about Pelosi’s message which became the basis for right-wing attacks against her?

The evidence of White House involvement behind the Israeli Prime Minister’s statement has been growing this past week. Middle East analysts have suggested Bush deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams — a close ally of Dick Cheney — may have been coordinating the attempts to undermine Pelosi’s trip. “‘It’s obvious the White House is desperate to find some phony criticism of the speaker’s trip, even though it was a bipartisan trip,’ said Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), a Holocaust survivor who is considered the Democrat closest to the pro-Israel lobby. ‘I have nothing but contempt and disdain for the attempt to undermine this trip.’”

Rep. Henry Waxman suggested that the White House’s coordinated attempts to smear Pelosi were part of an effort to undermine her on Iraq:

Waxman said the administration is focused on building a case against the Democrats in preparation for a showdown over the Iraq War funding bill. The more they can paint Democrats as weak and irresponsible, the more likely the Democrats will knuckle under and let the president continue the war unchecked. It’s been known to happen.

So Cheney trashes the reputation of men like Lantos and Waxman (who, by the way, has doggedly pursued waste and mismanagement in Iraq by Halliburton, the company that made Cheney rich), and it’s politics as usual.

This is not unchartered territory for Cheney. He has become famous for kneecapping people with whom he disagrees, even individuals within the administration. Middle East experts recalled Cheney’s involvement in a similar situation last year:

Last year, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice talked Olmert into a 48-hour cease-fire during the war with Hezbollah to allow humanitarian relief, but within hours Israeli planes were bombing again, to Rice’s surprise and anger. Olmert had received a call, apparently from Cheney’s office, telling him to ignore Rice.

The Cheney campaign against Pelosi hasn’t let up. This week, the Washington Post editorial board — which has helped drive the Pelosi smear campaign from the beginning — published an attack piece from Liz Cheney, the daughter of the Vice President.

    time to take out the white house trash.


  2. GSD Says:

    The sleazy Washington Compost also failed to mention that Liz Cheney was Dick Cheney's daughter-----because "everyone knows who Liz Cheney is".

  6. Svensker Says:

    I think Eliot Abrams (along with Cheney) is more interested in undermining peace in the Middle East than he is in undermining Democrats.


  7. Tom Says:

    If Darth Cheney ran Halliburton the way he is running our government, it's amazing that it even still exists...oh wait! Money makes the world go around and Darth has assured Halliburton an endless supply of it at our expense.


  8. Mugsy Says:

    I seriously question the sanity of our VP. Seriously.

    Or maybe friendly attorneys who will take a face-full of buckshot without so much as a peep. He sure guessed wrong if he though Plame or Pelosi would roll over for him.


  13. DoingNuance Says:

    Darth Cheney - that's a good name for him. It doesn't surprise me that Cheney has undermined Rice's efforts. She is just a Cheney hand puppet like everyone else in the White House. Thank you, Think Progress, for supporting Pelosi on this. I need to start sending angry emails to the Wash. Post. Anyone want to join me?


  14. jeff Says:

    It will all be better after we arrest Cheney and the rest.

    Let's not forget who's idea it was to "kneecap" Valerie Plame either.

    OT i know, but I am SO BORED RIGHT NOW: anyone know of any good streaming (progressive)talk programs on now?(that AREN't a best of or recap show...)


  21. Jay Randal Says:

    An independent prosecutor must be designated by the Congress to investigate VP Cheney for criminal activities. When he is formally indicted, then he can be forced to resign or be impeached. Cheney is the shadow president and the force behind all the corruption in the Bush administration.


  22. whiteyfresh Says:

    Navy Vet: Just a point here...

    Why is it OK, when Imus said what he said, to bash him incessantly about it, but in the process, I have heard that phrase repeated AD NAUSEUM from the MSM. It's odd that the MSM(and Sharpton and Jackson) are allowed to repeated the phrase every 10 minutes, for days on end. If it truly is such a horrible thing to say(which it was), why is credit given to the phrase by having everyone from Jack Cafferty to Wolf Blitzer to Chris Matthews repeat the same phrase that Imus was fired for OVER AND OVER AND OVER?...


  23. John the Elder Says:

    First it was shooting a hunting companion in the face with buckshot and then it is bringing down innocent birds with a jet plane. Why is it that everywhere Darth goes death is close at hand? Of course to this list we can add the many dead in the Iraq conflict that did not have to be.
    Impeachment is looking better every hour for Darth and his 'I don't know nothing' buddy.


  24. ForTruth Says:

    In addition to the regular "who flung poo", we have 5 million missing e-mails. Karl's idea of using the RNC server and then having them disappeared was clever.

    good thing paul pelosi isn't an undercover operative. uncle dick would have to become a serial traitor (if he isn't one already)... ITMFA (but impeach cheney first)

    Comment by whiteyfresh — April 14, 2007 @ 10:37 am

    Whitey, is it that hard to understand? Imus referred to a group of successful young student-athetes by that term. Everyone who repeated it was basically reporting what Imus had said, not reiterating that the Rutgers team fit the description.

    Words are powerful, but they're not all-powerful. Just saying "abbacadabra" doesn't open a hidden door, just saying "nappy headed hoes" doesn't get you fired. Words have power because of the thoughts they express.


  27. Lesly Says:

    This week, the Washington Post editorial board — which has helped drive the Pelosi smear campaign from the beginning — published an attack piece from Liz Cheney, the daughter of the Vice President.

    Uh, is that ethical; a national paper allowing administration relatives to publish their opinions on their paper?


  28. Zooey Says:

    It appears to me that Liz Cheney has just made herself FAIR GAME.


  29. Zooey Says:

    Condi Rice is the worst Secretary of State -- EVER. But she really never had a chance if "Dick" is behind the scenes telling people to ignore her efforts.

    All of this admin has to go -- starting with Cheney. We'll see how quickly Georgie reveals himself as Mr Lupner.

    what a sad image this administration has - cheating lying, the list goes on, why ? has no one the guts to change this putrid political atmosphere ?

    file this under the "no sht sherlock" collumn


  33. old hack Says:

    Dick CHeneys daughter cant join the military cuz shes gay.


  34. whiteyfresh Says:

    KRank: no,no,no. It's not hard at all to understand. It just seems wrong(to me, at least) that by saying "well, I'm just saying what he said" that gives the media carte blache to actually SAY the phrase repeatedly. If that truly is the justification, why didn't Tucker and Sheperd Smith and Paula Zahn repeat over and over what Michael Richards said?


  35. Bobby Hill Says:

    Could Liz Cheney be considered a "Sycophantic Ho", for the Bush Administration


  36. truth fairy Says:

    liz cheney has no credibility whatsoever, i have no interest in her bleating and whining, doesnt she realise her greedy daddy is a thief and a liar and needs to be removed to a place where he can do no more harm ? she is living in a vacuum- separate from us poor folk


  37. whiteyfresh Says:

    zup Zooey!!


  38. Emerald Says:

    Incompetent, underhanded, dishonest, hateful, and finally, totally clueless...these neoconmen are running the federal government into the ground. They no longer represent the American people, the American constitution, and should no longer represent its government.

    One more fraudulent attack on Pelosi or Democratic presidential candidates, and I say, gloves off. Investigate each and every screw-up, each and every initiative, each and every bit of legislation that twisted the mission of each and every federal department. Then impeach the two nitwits at the top.

    Pelosi 2007!


  39. ManipulationNation Says:

    Nancy Pelosi took action on an issue that reasonable, knowledgeable people, including everyone in the Iraq Study Group, think is necessary. Bush and Cheney are in a small minority on whether we should talk to Syria and Iran. Cheney's campaign against Pelosi sounds reminds me of his campaign against Joe Wilson.

    I believe she should be supported and commended for what she did. She took a brave step forward.


  40. Marie Says:

    And the cooperation from the so-called "independent" media continues.
    Tell me again about how the press is liberal.


  41. Briseadh na Faire Says:

    [why] has no one the guts to change this putrid political atmosphere ?

    Comment by truth fairy — April 14, 2007 @ 11:32 am

    Because they are all bought and paid for by the war profiteers. And the war profiteers are making billions off of their investments in politics.

    It was a sea change, politically, when Bush announced that he was there to serve the people who voted for him, as opposed to serving America and the Constitution. That's the mind-set. And we've returned to the Nixon era of thinking, the only wrong is getting caught.

    Excellent point.

    No. 27 says...

    "This week, the Washington Post editorial board — which has helped drive the Pelosi smear campaign from the beginning — published an attack piece from Liz Cheney, the daughter of the Vice President."

    Is this ethical? Why are you even asking the question? Has Bushco shown any respect, ever, once, for ethics since slithering into office thru the back door back in 2000?

    Isn't it time to RICO the whole damned lot of them? Perhaps the Chaneyburton Corp or Bushtel Corp would like to bid on the enormous contract we'll have to put out to build enough new prison cells to hold all of these scumbags when the time comes. A new growth industry on the horizon - prison building.


  45. enaud Says:

    Pelosi's show of energy and engagement makes aWol and his gang look like the imcompetents they are. Pelosi chaps their ass bigtime and consequently is going to be smeared 24/7. I don't think it is going to work. The bushies credibility is at an all time low.


  46. Republicans Are The Fear And Smear Party Says:

    "...the Washington Post...published an attack piece from Liz Cheney, the daughter of the Vice President."

    Now there's a credible source...


  47. Kate Henry Says:

    "Dick CHeneys daughter cant join the military cuz shes gay." Liz Chaney is not gay, that's Mary Chaney. But, you will notice that Liz has a lot to say about how the war is being run but you don't see her joining up to fight. The same as the Bush twins.


  48. Republicans Are The Fear And Smear Party Says:

    Liz is desperate to protect her inheritance...what would happen to her if Daddy's fortune was totally wiped out with all the fines for his crimes? She'd have to get a real job!


  49. Uncle Ho Says:

    Since 5-deferment dickhead Cheney is always shooting off his mouth, he should put his lips around a shotgun and pull the trigger.

    LOST IN cyber-SPACE

    STARRING:

    AND
    KARL ROVE AS DR SMITH


  51. ace Says:

    This smear campaign had the mark of Rove all over it from the outset. It was clear that Karl had called in favors from the Ministries of Propaganda (the "news" networks" to ride the story like a rented mule. The media is just as guilty as Rove. The people running these news rooms and writing the copy need to be exposed for the GOVERNMENT AGENTS that they are.

    Does Karl Rove just write the copy himself and send it to the news agencies to have the talking heads read it?

    No wonder he doesn't want us to have access to his past e-mails.

    The White House has been fully politicized - which is ILLEGAL.


  52. Marie Says:

    What will it take to rid ourselves and the world of this un-dead vampire, Cheney? The modern version of Rasputin, Macchiavelli, and Bela Lugosi incarnate.


  53. Charles in SF Says:

    The VP is disdainful not just of those who disagree with him, he is disdainful of the democratic process itself. In his pursuit of nefarious objectives, he has led us into an illegal and unjust war, destroyed the career of Valerie Plame, and at every twist and turn justified his actions in the name of national security. I, for one, would argue that without adherence to our democratic norms and respect for the laws, traditions and above all the Constitution, there is no need for national security for all we cherish will have been lost.

    Evidence is emerging that Speakette Pelosi falsely claimed to augment the Bush administration policy. Ho is she kidding - apparently Tom Lantos. In fact, the Speakette has worked ardently to undermine the administrations policy - next time she should get Lantos onboard before he declares "We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy." I'm not certain if we should refer to the Speakette as General Pelosi or Shadow-President Pelosi.....I am confident either title would suit Progressives.....

  63. justin case Says:

    Look into Cheney's eyes. He has lost all fear. He has no respect. He need not even pretend to act like one of the little people, for only he sees things clearly.... a plane you little people cannot. He fails to see dead people in your gas tank, for that is a narrative he disputes. He will play this line out, because he can. The loot is largely over. The dismantling is largely done. The only thing left for this dark Power is to run out the shot clock and spit in America's eye on his way back to his Principality.

    From wikpedia

    Elizabeth Cheney (born July 28, 1966), an American attorney and diplomat. She is the elder daughter of United States Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney. She has been appointed to posts that make her influential in her own right, and she is married to Philip Perry, the former General Counsel of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

    Great, Dickless has his successor in place already. Not wonder she does his bidding.

    #65 WAR CRIMINALS like Bush and Cheney are WAR CRIMINALS.

    YOU might want to rethink WHY Bush and Cheney
    REFUSED to TESTIFY UNDER OATH to the 9/11 Commission.

    That is, they REFUSED TO SWEAR TO GOD TO TELL THE TRUTH about 9/11, the Bin Ladens, and the Saudi TERRORIST FINANCIERS.

    And Osama is STILL FREE 5 1/2 years later, and Bush invaded IRAQ.

    The US Military IS being used as a POLITICAL TOOL by a cabal headed by an AWOL coward SILVER-SPOON coxucker PUNK

    and a 5-deferment TRAITOR coward who said he "wasn't going to die in some rice paddy (WHEREVER IT IS, the world will REJOICE).

    POLITICAL PAWNS and TOOLS of EVIL.

    Is that why Cheney was behind smearing here?

    Because you know spearkette Gingrinch that stole Christmas and the rest of the GOP wingnuts already established under Clinton that the Congress is a co-equal branch in international relations. That's why speakerette Gingrinch nearly started WWIII with his remarks to China that were in direct conflict with the administration.

    Who needs to balance a tightrope, when you're a wingnut right? Just come out and interfere with the executive branch!

    So when you say that WAR is A-OK in Christianity and Judaism, but that when war (civil in this case) is implemented by Islam, it's a war of "pieces"? Good thing republicans didn't share your value when the US had its civil war, or you would have deserted us - right Mighty B*llsh*t?

    I pay attention to you in the sense that I pay attention to flies and other annoying bugs that have managed to get into my house or garden. It's hard to skip over all your posts, as there are usually so many of them. I also sometimes look at your posts for laughs, or to see what they latest neoCON talking points are, without bothering to turn to RedState (which I've actually never seen) or the sites of Ann Coulter and gay hooker-turned Repub shill Jeff Gannon/James Guckert.
    As for actually "paying attention," I doubt if you have ever persuaded anyone here of anything, except that you are a lying fool and koolaid addict.
