Snow Falsely Asserts Lugar Believes Escalation Is ‘Working’
Snow Falsely Asserts Lugar Believes Escalation Is ‘Working’
During the press conference today, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow blindly defended the President’s “surge strategy” and inexplicably argued that Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) supports the policy. “If you look at what Senator Lugar has said about the surge so far, he says that it’s working,” said Snow. “His comments indicate that he thinks it’s working.” Watch it:
In reality, two weeks ago, Lugar issued a sharp rebuke of the President’s “surge strategy.” On the floor of the U.S. Senate he specifically stated that the Bush administration’s “surge” is failing:
In my judgment, the current surge strategy is not an effective means of protecting [U.S.] interests. Its prospects for success are too dependent on the actions of others who do not share our agenda. It relies on military power to achieve goals that it cannot achieve. It distances allies that we will need for any regional diplomatic effort. Its failure, without a careful transition to a back-up policy would intensify our loss of credibility. It uses tremendous amounts of resources that cannot be employed in other ways to secure our objectives. And it lacks domestic support that is necessary to sustain a policy of this type.
While Lugar has yet to agree to act on his rhetoric, it is laughable for the White House to suggest that Lugar’s comments — and the comments of several other prominent conservatives — are any sort of endorsement of the President’s policies in Iraq.
Transcript:
QUESTION: And what does the president say to Republicans like Senator Lugar who say we can’t wait? What is his response…
SNOW: Again, I’m just not sure Senator Lugar is saying we can’t wait. What he’s saying is he’s concerned about the political atmosphere in this country and he’s trying to make sure that we don’t rip ourselves apart politically short of achieving the goals.
If you look at what Senator Lugar has said about the surge so far, he says that it’s working. His comments indicate that he thinks it’s working.
What he’s a little concerned about is the political atmosphere in this country, whether we can hold it together long enough to go ahead and give the surge an opportunity to demonstrate what the men and women of our military, what the men and women who are contractors, men and women working for the State Department and other departments and agencies of the federal government, whether they’re going to have an opportunity to demonstrate what their efforts have yielded in the last couple months.

Sen. Lugar, you have thirty seconds for your rebuttal…
July 9th, 2007 at 4:55 pmWow it’s just like watching FOX these Snow bits. You think Democrats are writing his material?
July 9th, 2007 at 4:56 pmOh Sen. Lugar? I thought you said Sen. Lugey…he as well. Next question.
—Tony Snowjob
July 9th, 2007 at 4:58 pmlie, Lie, LIE…who needs the truth when you can make up whatever you want and get your 10 second sound bites out there as fact. Is Fox going to show what Lugar said? NO! They’ll show Snowjob’s BS as statement in fact.
I swear he’s almost a parody…if the ramifications weren’t so terrible I’d laugh.
July 9th, 2007 at 4:59 pmWhile Lugar has yet to agree to act on his rhetoric, it is laughable for the White House to suggest that Lugar’s comments — and the comments of several other prominent conservatives — are any sort of endorsement of the President’s policies in Iraq.
I’d like to offer a correction to the above paragraph: it is hardly “laughable” that the White House would suggest something that the public record proves is not the case — it is, rather, Standard Operating Procedure for this White House.
In other words, if Tony Snow says it’s sunny outside, better get an umbrella.
July 9th, 2007 at 4:59 pmThe only “escalation†that is happening are the lies Bush and Snow are tossing at us. This U.S. occupation—not the Iraq war—is nothing more than dirt toss at our eyes.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:01 pmit is laughable for the White House to suggest that Lugar’s comments — and the comments of several other prominent conservatives — are any sort of endorsement of the President’s policies in Iraq.
I don’t see that here. Didn’t seem that the WH was seeing it as endorsement so much as REFUSING to see it as the rebuke that it was meant to be.

THE PETITION
STOP ILLEGAL VIGILANTE SECRET TORTURE OPERATIONS–Directed Energy Weapons National and International Torture.
Covert and or Overt Surveillance and Organized Harassment is currently done to civilians in the U.S.A. This is similar to the 1960’s Co-Intel-Pro when large numbers of citizens of United States of America including some members of Congress were under surveillance. Torture with Electronic Weapons is also currently done to civilians. Electronic Weapons are a part of the Directed Energy Weapon’s Arsenal. This torture is carried out in a fashion that is similar to “Involuntary Human Experiments of which there is a long history in the United States. To name an example. During the “Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment” 400 Black men were experimented on for 40 years, they were also prevented from getting out of the experiment. This was a human experiment that they did not consent to and prevented from getting the correct treatment.
Electronic Weapons issue out Radio Frequency Microwave non-ionizing radiation. Because of the torture done with “Electronic Weapons and the harmful effects of “Radio Frequency Microwave Non-Ionizing Radiation” millions of lives are shattered and disrupted by inhumane involuntary experiments. Many people have died as a results of these involuntary experiments. These are LETHAL weapons (described by the US Military as “Slow-Kill” and “Soft-Kill”.”Remote Electronic Torture-Assassination”; “Remote-Electromagnetic Torture-Murder Weaponry”. are more descriptive terms. These weapons are ALL Neurotoxic (cause Brain-Damage) and Carcinogenic (cause Cancer). The USA population has a greater than 50% Cancer rate and a rapidly rising diagnosed neuropathology rate. This radiation also causes genetic damage.Through the wall applications of “Directed Energy Weapons” are used; therefore perpertrators of this torture can be in a remote location and torture their target/victim with “Electronic Weapons”. Congress and the military has approved funding for Directed Energy Weapons research. Weapons get more funding when there is a dual use. The DOD has been working hand in hand with the DOJ to use the weapons domestically.If the innocent, unprotected-from-their-own-government&military, decent, non-criminal Public are not clearly informed about the source and lethality of the attacks, their chances for survival are practically nil. DESIRED OUTCOME
What we want done about this. 1. Impartial open investigations to expose and end this torture immediately. 2. Protection for all whistle blowers who can assist in exposing covert torture with “Electronic Weapons”. 3. We demand that treasonous criminals stop harming/killing us. There are laws against vigilantism, hate-crime, domestic terrorism, and conducting experiments on the unwitting public. We are DEMANDING that they cease & desist immediately or face consequences befitting their crime.
We make this statement of fact that Torture is going on in the USA.
STOP ILLEGAL DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS & DOMESTIC TERRORIST TORTURERS IN THE USA! WHO WE NEED TO INFLUENCE
Governmental Agencies that assist with Human and Civil Rights need to do their job. HOW LONG WILL WE CAMPAIGN
Until this is exposed and ended.

STOP THE ILLEGAL VIGILANTE DOMESTIC TERRORIST CRIMINALS
July 9th, 2007 at 5:01 pmIt’s the “Up is Down” Show!
July 9th, 2007 at 5:02 pmOne more key distinction from progressives, independents, and Dems from GOP is we do not find lies nourishinly sustantialble sustenance.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:03 pmI think Tony has been smoking too much medicinal pot!
July 9th, 2007 at 5:03 pmSnow added, “Up is down.”
July 9th, 2007 at 5:04 pmOff-top, but Leahy is talking on the Senate floor about the executive privilege. CSPAN2. “The Consitution does not include the phrase executive privilege or unitary executive.”
July 9th, 2007 at 5:04 pmTony said said something that wasn’t true???
Now that’s front page material – Stop the presses.
And where was the Washington press corps when he said this? Oh yeah, sitting right in front of him.
That’s why I called my web site News Corpse. You can always rely on them to react to things like this in exactly the same way a lifeless hunk of meat would.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:04 pmTony Snow has some agressive cancer, do you suppose having to lie to the world day in and day out has anything to do with that? You can tell that whoever is writing his shtick is barely phoning it in.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:07 pmRemember he does speak for the Failure in Chief so;
RETARD IS THE DIALECT.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:07 pmWho ya gonna believe, your own ears or Tony Faux?
July 9th, 2007 at 5:09 pmReminds me of the joke about the guy caught cheating on his wife…
What are you going to believe, your eyes or me?
It’s the “Up is Down†Show!

Tony is a caricature, no different from Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf (Baghdad Bob). “There are no American infidels in Iraq! Never!”
Just a hapless propagandist.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:10 pmThe degree to which the Bush Cabal is completely dillusional is totally staggering.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:11 pmThe surge is working.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:13 pmREPEAT.
The surge is working.
REPEAT ad infinitum
Huge f*cking lie. Desperately huge f*cking lie.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:14 pmMost of this administration’s reasoning would be “laughable” if so many lives didn’t depend on it.
Remember: We have always been at war with Oceania.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:17 pmWar is Peace.
Up is Down.
The surge is working.
The President thinks.
Tony McSnowjob is a lying sack of stinky stuff. He should know that lying doesn’t help his cancer.

Yellow Snow and Baghdad Bob. The similarities in their deliveries are uncanny.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:20 pmTony, do not let the “Surrender Monkeys” snow you!
July 9th, 2007 at 5:20 pmThe White House is not only detached, they have totally lost touch with reality. Every statement they’ve made in the past week is more insane than the previous.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:22 pmThe WH press corps should just walk out. Why serve as nothing but a conduit for predictable lies?
July 9th, 2007 at 5:23 pmMuch as I hate to do this, I have to include 2 quotes on this post. Both are disturbingly appropriate, but I don’t wish to infer any other comparisons.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:24 pm“The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.” and
“The great masses of the people…will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one.” The source is Adolph Hitler. Its unbelievably disturbing to see his philosophy in action in the United States.
Don’t ANYONE, EVER call Chris Matthews “tweety” again.
He just cleaned Congressmen Kings clock on Hardball.
I’ve NEVER seen Matthews on his game like this!
He rocked!

July 9th, 2007 at 5:30 pmSteve King (R-IOWA) gave the same argument the trolls have been giving in here for months now. He claimed that Scooter Libby’s conviction was BS because in his words there was no “underlying crime”.
King insisted that “there has to be an underlying crime” for his lying to a Federal Grand Jury to have teeth.
But Matthews called him out.
Matthews said (paraphrasing) “you guys impeached Clinton for lying to congress, where was the underlying crime there?”
King could not answer, and Matthews HELD HIM to it. He crucified Kings logic, and made a fool out of him for claiming he did not know what Libby lied about. (he said, “if you’d been paying attention you’d know”.
It was a thing of BEAUTY.
Way to go Chris Matthews. Now you’re playing hardball.

July 9th, 2007 at 5:31 pmsnow continues with the standard bushie “jedi mind trick” tactic of simply stating their position as fact, irrespective of any evidence to the contrary.

2100 days ago George Bush failed to prevent the most catastrophic event of terrorism ever committed against the American people. Since then another 4,000 brave Americans, the soldiers in Iraq, have died.
July 9th, 2007 at 5:35 pmSorry, Walt, I can’t do that. I was right about Vietnam, right about Nixon, right about Bush being a disaster and right about what would happen in Iraq. Must be those damned critical thinking skills they taught me in high school. But since the Republicans have stuck their fat fingers all over education there is no time for that – just teach the kids to pass the test or we’ll take away your funding.

It’s also so weird that people want to credit the people who couldn’t prevent 9/11 from ‘preventing’ another, even though there’s no evidence that they’ve done anything directly related (such as bringing those responsible to justice).
It’s like giving the pitcher who gives up five grand slams the save.

Wasn’t Sen Lugar “summoned” to the White House after his remarks about the surge?

Everyone in that room knows he is a full of shit liar. But look what the guy is trying to sell you everyday. It really his a tough job. And the shit that this guy pulls out of his ass and try’s to sell as truth his p-r-e-t-t-y amazing!
So grab a clothes pin stick it on your nose when ever you see him coming because there will be a huge stink storm to follow shortly after.
Compliments of the Bush Administration
July 9th, 2007 at 6:03 pmSpudge,
And had the mission NOT been canceled (for being too risky), you would accused the whole thing of being “another phoney stunt” designed to keep the sheeple fearful. You would have questioned the “timing” and then you would have dismissed it as propaganda, while at the same time you would have also accused Bush of invading another sovereign nation and thus causing more terrorism.
Sorry Spudge…You are just another mush-for-brains Lefty crackpot, blinded by your own hatreds.
July 9th, 2007 at 6:06 pmThis is what Bush’s apologists have to resort to now – telling baldfaced lies that they can’t even convicingly pretend to believe themselves. It’s completely demaning, shameful and ugly to watch.
Kids, this why you don’t become Republicans.
July 9th, 2007 at 6:08 pmAnd morally with his health at issue i don’t think he has a soul. I think he sold it a long time ago and will never get it back, so he figures might as well go down throwing manure at everyone who asks you a question. To him being loyal to the devil will reap benifits in the end.

When I look at the repeated blatant lies, piled on one after another without even a hint of guit or worry about being found out, it seems as if the moral foundation we all depend on has simply washed away.
Something very, very strange and BIG is underway in the world. I hope at least a few people look beyond the politics of the moment and take it in.

I don’t know if it the stress of his poor health or the stress of his rotten environment there in the Whie House: nothing but bullshit, hot air, rotting souls — the stench must be overpowering — it sure can’t be healthy — except for Darth Cheney — nothing can harm him — he thrives in those conditions — it’s essential to his existence.

And I agree. I was one of those who wrote to MSNBC and Dan Abrams as well in praise of Schuster – and likewise I have also written them with complaints of Tweety’s obsession with sex and gossip and blondes, neglecting the real news. There must be thousands of us who tell the media what we think.

Dear Lord, Mr. (current corrupt, crooked) president TROLL!
Are you still haunting the threads of progressive Americans whose bodily wastes your are not worthy to haul out?
With all the lies, phony arrogance, lack of moral foundation, sleazy NeoCon talking points you’ve been successfully called out on, you should be hiding under a rock.
You truly are shameless!
UNDER THE BRIDGE, LYING, PHONY, ARROGANT, IMMORAL, NEOCON WORSHIPPING, SHAMELESS TROLL!

And had the mission NOT been canceled (for being too risky), you would accused the whole thing of being “another phoney stunt†designed to keep the sheeple fearful. You would have questioned the “timing†and then you would have dismissed it as propaganda, while at the same time you would have also accused Bush of invading another sovereign nation and thus causing more terrorism.
Sorry Spudge…You are just another mush-for-brains Lefty crackpot, blinded by your own hatreds.

What exactly does Spudge’s presumed (by you) reaction have to do with the facts presented?
Specifically, what does Spudge’s presumed (by you) reaction have to do with the fact that Bush CANCELLED THE MISSION to go after top al Qeada leaders?
July 9th, 2007 at 8:21 pmNote to self: Chronic lying causes cancer.
July 9th, 2007 at 8:45 pmSnow and Bush don’t speak for Lugar. And they sure as hell don’t speak for the American people.
The American people OPPOSE torture, warrantless wiretaps, secret prisons and an endless occupation of Iraq which kills and maims our soldiers as well as innocent civilians, while creating thousands of new anti-American terrorists every year.
July 9th, 2007 at 8:45 pmWe are starting to see the Administration spin down to the earth in flames. The only question remaining is how many Republicans are willing to stay on board or parachute out.
Bush can offer the current Republicans running for re-election nothing. He is going out of office, he can’t get any legislation passed, he is of no use in fund-raising, and his presence is actually “toxic” to those Republicans seeking re-election.
Continuing to support Bush is actually a good sanity measure for Republican politicians. Those continuing to support Bush exhibit self-destructive tendencies.
July 9th, 2007 at 9:00 pmSnow can spin this as much as he likes but he can’t change the fact that senior republicans are breaking with the president on his Iraq policy – Lugar, Smith, Domenici, and Snowe. It is clear to these republicans, all democrats and a majority of the American people that the surge has failed. That’s why Bush’s approval rating is sitting at 26 percent. In the end Snow hurts his own credibility when he makes obviously false statements.
July 9th, 2007 at 10:11 pmPoor Tony, he’s become Baghdad Bob. Sad.
July 10th, 2007 at 12:44 amIs Snow smoking weed again?
July 10th, 2007 at 1:59 amI first heard of Tony Snow when he would pinch-hit for Rush Limbaugh on his radio show (during the Clinton years, I was just trying to get the other side of the story). Then he goes to the Fox News Propaganda Network, and then to the WH. While yards smarter than McClellan, he is just FoxNews from the WH podium. Good thing King George has no power, or thoughts, and the TelePrompter works. And Laura has given up on him. They don’t even have the same pillows.
What if Georgie were allowed to think, write, speak, and listen? Things could be worse. Darth Cheney will have another heart attack, I hope, and then (since Karl will be with his little boys) Gates will step in and halt the nonsense. Unless he consults with Kissinger and Brezyinski. Why don’t we get some USA rednecks like Thompson, into the Repub chairs?
July 10th, 2007 at 4:39 amAnd I am getting old, can still get it up, and some even look at it. But if all things have a reason, then the Cancer Man should take Tony, and the Heart Man should take Darth Cheney, and may the Lord of Shrinks take King Georgie. Does Laura know he is bi? He was called “The Mouth” in his freshman dorm at Yale. “Just trying it out” he said, drunk as usual. How his grades at that rubber-stamp institution were a little bit higher than SwiftBoat Kerry, still defies imagination. I am sure the school is still reeling over that one. Send your kids to Harvard, or even Cornell. Not the StampU.
July 10th, 2007 at 4:52 amWhat we have here is a cat and mouse game between White official press and other media outlets. If there is one way to distract from, or otherwise cover up, past lies it is to purposefully make incorrect statements that are designed to bring into question the other report.
It’s the catch-me-if-you-can I’m outta here line. It brings into question the statement of another for the sole purpose of distracting from your own statements. A very capable statement from an administration that is normally short on truth!
