		<description>I listened to this &quot;interview&quot;.  She is a typical repuke shill.  She refused to answer a question with a yes or no.  Makes you want to toss the radio out the window when these people are on.  She is covering her boss&#039;s butt just like the rest of the trolls.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so sick of administration members claiming &quot;I don&#039;t know&quot;.  Why won&#039;t the media follow up with the obvious question...&quot;You don&#039;t know because you were not at the briefing?  Isn&#039;t it part of your job to find out what was discussed at all briefings, even ones before you were in your current position?  If you don&#039;t have all the pertinent information, how can you stand before the media and pretend you understand what these reports mean?&quot;  

Just once, at a press briefing or at one of these congressional hearings I want ones of these liars to be called on their bullsh*t.  It would be so easy and so effective, and so gratifying.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, alkaidaâ€™s there now, so they need to be handled.

Comment by Mr. President â€” July 18, 2007 @ 2:13 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I see no one swung at this soft-ball...so I&#039;ll be your huckleberry.

Al-Qaeda is also in Lebanon, Somlia, Sudan, Algeria, Indonesia, Bosnia, and last but not least, Pakistan

...but let&#039;s put all our eggs in the Iraqi basket...afterall, it&#039;s a Bush fulfilling prophecy don&#039;t ya know.

Either you were being sarcastic with your comment (in which event I apologize), or you&#039;re a Chimpy leg-humper...what say you?

Signed,
Bill O&#039;Reilly</description>

The NIE wasn&#039;t accurate by a long shot in November 2002, so what makes this report any more reliable?</description>

		<description>Townsend: â€˜I Donâ€™t Knowâ€™ If Al Qaeda Was In Iraq Before The War Â»

\Is the Townsend tart aware of the 9/11 and ith ISG report? 

If the tart could read, she may have notices that both reports debunked ANY links between Iraq and Al Qaeda. 

In this Bush Administration, the women are whores and the men have their lips stuck on Bush&#039;s ass.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;NPR host Steve Inskeep challenged Townsend, pointing out that al Qaeda had â€œno capability in Iraq before the war.â€ Townsend refused to answer the question, stating, â€œI donâ€™t know â€” I wasnâ€™t at that briefing.â€ She then added, â€œIâ€™m going to rely on the intelligence community. â€¦ I would refer you to them.â€&lt;/i&gt;

And this is our &lt;b&gt;Homeland Security Advisor&lt;/b&gt; talking?!?!?  WTF, do we have another &quot;You&#039;re doing a heck of a job&quot; Brownie in this post?  What exactly &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; her qualifications for such an important-sounding post?  Gazillions in contributions to the RNC?  Hand-jobs every morning for the Deciderator-in-Chief?

&lt;*GAG*&gt;

FWIW, I have &lt;a href=&quot;http://leastdangerousbranch.blogspot.com/2007/07/dubya-maladministration-logic.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;other comments&lt;/a&gt; on this brain-dead maladministration flunky over on my blog....

		<description>And, letâ€™s not forget this, Germany and Japan were homogeneous nations in which civil war was unimaginable. Iâ€™m afraid there are no direct comparisons between WW2 and the occupation of Iraq.
Comment by pete â€” July 18, 2007 @ 3:27 pm

We should also not forget that both Germany and Japan had some experience with parliamentary democracy before the militarists took over, which is another way in which they are not comparable to Iraq.</description>

Yes, the Homeland Security Advisor, no less. 

She should have been at the briefing -doing the debriefing, for crying out loud. If not, it is her job to &lt;i&gt;look for the bloody information&lt;/i&gt; so she can better advise whoever needs to be advised.

How can she not know? That excuse is ridiculous. I&#039;d laugh if it wasn&#039;t so tragic and this whole mess hadn&#039;t been so deadly for so many people.

But then, incompetence is the hallmark of this administration. Maybe she has a background in race horse associations or something.

(Even I could have told them AlQaeda wasn&#039;t in Iraq prior to the invasion. Many of us could have.... ssheessshhh.... )</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not a left-right spectrum.  It&#039;s a smart-dumb spectrum.

Example: Bill Clinton has an IQ of around 180.  George W. Bush has an IQ oof around 90, not counting brain damage from years of drugs and alcohol.

That means their guy is LITERALLY half as smart as ours!

That&#039;s why the White House imploded when George W. Bush took office.

Democrats are easily 20 to 30 IQ points smarter than Republicans.  Republicans don&#039;t know this because 1) they have bloated egos, and 
2) they&#039;re stupid.</description>
