Terrorism stats were inconvenient for Rice.

Terrorism stats were inconvenient for Rice.
The State Department is set to release its annual report showing a nearly 30 percent increase in terror attacks worldwide in 2006. “Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her top aides had considered postponing or downplaying the release of this year’s edition, due to the extreme political sensitivities, several officials said.”

of COURSE they wouldn’t want us to know the truth!! who the hell even believes these people in the first place is beyond me…..
April 28th, 2007 at 2:54 pmThe more we hear, the more we realize we need to super-scrutinize every statement, every assertion, every shred of data, not just for its authenticity and accuracy, but for context, as well.
This administration is not working for the nation. They continue to expose their wholly-partisan operation, which has failed on so many levels.

April 28th, 2007 at 3:10 pmI alway’s politicians fibbed a little but these moral value majority ‘officesitters’ take 1st prize!
April 28th, 2007 at 3:11 pmThis is the administration’s version of “An Inconvenient Truth.”
April 28th, 2007 at 3:12 pmcondi is “inconvenient” for me… the extreme “political sensitivity” i experience when i am confronted by her performance as secretary of state causes me to want to “postpone” informing myself about her efforts on behalf of my country and to “downplay” her competence…
April 28th, 2007 at 3:24 pmAnd, yes, I DO take it personally
Condo must be going to get the Medal of Freedom soon.

April 28th, 2007 at 3:31 pmAnyone not on my ignore list can ask me about how Clinton did nothing but wag the dog while having inappropiate and amoral sex with a very young, sweet, innocent and impressionable youn woman named Monica – that evil Bill, the Pervocrat turned into a two-bit hussy!!
April 28th, 2007 at 3:34 pmOkay, I stand corrected. Since ‘Anyone not on my ignore list’ is not proper grammatics, and for the record:
“Everyone is on the ignore list – it’s pointless to ask me a question”
April 28th, 2007 at 3:42 pmDamn, these incovenient truths just keep popping up! It must be tough to actually see reality. These family values, held so dear by the republican ‘believers’, just aren’t quite what they cracked up to be. Couldda told ya!
April 28th, 2007 at 3:45 pmI’m glad terrorism is increasing. It makes the Republicans look bad and it helps us on the Left!
April 28th, 2007 at 3:50 pmKeep it up Al-Qaeda we’re rooting for you!
It’s on the application form, if anyone NOT on the “Ignore List†wants to discuss.
Comment by Jake — April 28, 2007 @ 11:42 am
Again, Jake. Prove what you are saying. Links, documents, etc. would be something to back up your premise. Without those, all you are doing is apparently just making it up as you go.
Comment by impeachcheneythenbush — April 28, 2007 @ 1:17 pm
Hey, Jake this is one of two questions I asked you on the string regarding summer interns. I must be on your “ignore list” as I’m still waiting for an answer. Well, here’s another one for you. Prove that you don’t put people on your so-called ignore list simply because you CAN NOT answer their questions. If that’s the case, I would suggest you rename your list to the “ignore those who attempt to bring me back to reality list.”
April 28th, 2007 at 4:01 pmMore Bushmath, along with “car bombs in Iraq don’t count”.

We told you before this war it would only increase terrorism. Just like Scowcroft and others said it would. A war in Iraq would undermine the war on terror. You don’t even listen to your own party.

Comment by Jake
No it isn’t.
He goes against the list all the time. Here’s an example:
The FIRST job of the government is to PROTECT the people. Jake
Um, I thought it was to uphold the Constitution? Or has that changed since 9/11?
Comment by barfly — April 13, 2007 @ 4:22 pm
For the record, if all the People are killed by terrorists with suitcase nukes, it matters no longer to uphold the Constitution.
Comment by Jake — April 13, 2007 @ 4:24 pm
As you plainly can see, he clearly was responding to me, even while pretending he wasn’t.
He also responded to Zooey today in the same, intellectually absurd fashion. The world’s oldest living adolescent.
April 28th, 2007 at 4:11 pmThe Iraq war is good for us Democrats!
April 28th, 2007 at 4:30 pmIs Jake SATAN?
April 28th, 2007 at 4:55 pmOh sure….another game of “selective statistics”….aka: lies and deceit. Inflate the numbers and don’t even discuss them when they become inconvenient, eh? That’s certainly not what “truth” is all about, is it?
April 28th, 2007 at 5:13 pmSince Jake-off still believes that Clinton, his obsession, is still president, perhaps he’d like to begin discussing the economic condition of this country under his role-model Clinton?? And then, for openers, he can contrast that to the stranglehold of a national debt which Bush Cabal has foisted upon the backs of every american now to the tune of $29,000/per person and rapidly escalating.
April 28th, 2007 at 5:15 pm#22 In response to your question: He’s ten times more amoral, deluded, and incontrovertibly ignorant!
April 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pmI can’t help but remember how during Condoleezza Rice’s confirmation hearings she whined “that you would not impugn my integrity”. First, she has NO integrity, and second, no one needs to do this to her anyway since she constantly impugns her own (non-existant) integrity. Go buy some shoes, play the piano and wave at the camera, worthless Condi.
April 28th, 2007 at 5:52 pmJake’s house:
Jake: Mom – I’ll be right there.
Jake’s mom: You have to go see Dr. Peter’s for your problem, and you haven’t even taken a shower. Take those briches off! Now young man!
Jake: MO-om. But, but – I’m importent. People on the computers listen to me. Dr. Pe Pe can wait.
Jake’s mom: Get off the computer and get to the shower before Mommy gets really mad and then will have to go to the bar all night. Get those briches off NOW!…..You skiddered your tighty whitey’s.
Jake: I’m sorry mommy, but I didn’t want to leave the computer, because people were asking me very important questions that onlt I can answer.
Jake’s mom: When mommy gets her check we are going to the WalM-Mart. Mommy’s little man is going to get boxers next week isn’t hims.
Jake: (sh!t eat’n smile) I’m going to tell the all my friends at the troop meeting that I get boxers…my mommy said so.
Jake’s mom: And next month I have a big surprise!
Jake: What, what, what…..WHAT!
Jake’s mom: Granpa’s going to take you to the Nazi rally!!
Jake: (sh!t’s himself in anticipation) Will he buy me a flag and cotton candy again?
Stay tuned to the continuing saga of Jake’s House!!!!

Comment by Jake
What in the hell does that have to do with the fact that the Bush Administration, which has staked it’s reputation on supposedly making the US safer by starting a war on terror, seems to be making us much LESS safer because of this war.
You’re a complete idiot Jake… a complete and utter idiot.
April 28th, 2007 at 6:44 pmBin Laden and co must be so pleased their plan has gone so well.
What we needed regarding 9/11 was a low-key professional response to increase security, improve international relations, and catch the perpetrators.
Instead we got this international disaster because an unqualified man with contacts and money had become President.

Randy’s a lot stupid. Always has been, and always will be.
April 28th, 2007 at 11:25 pm#2 That was kind of rhetorical :) The guy think his way out of a wet paper bag (yeah, cliche, but true).
April 28th, 2007 at 11:33 pm#33 Er, I missed a can’t before the think.
April 28th, 2007 at 11:35 pmIsn’t all of this just Retro-justification of John Kerry’s strategy of dealing with terrorists?
How did the Republican’s put it to us of John Kerry’s position.
Oh yeah, it was nuanced strategy. Where Bush was and is the OK Corral losers strategy.
