		<description>Gregory is just like the rest of the Washington journalist. There access to sources is their lifeblood. With those kinds of conflicts, what do you expect? Certainly not the truth.</description>

		<description>Kilo - Google Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI...&quot;there is no hard evidence connecting Osama with 9/11&quot;  June 6, 06.
Also the government will NOT authentic the tape of Osama claiming he was the leader for 9/11. 

You know start checking your beliefs before portraying them as facts.</description>

		<description>David also stated in the clip something a bit misleading of Al Qaida in Iraq.  He says right at the end of the clip that, &quot;Al Qaida IS STILL in Iraq&quot;.  Insinuating Al Qaida was all over Iraq prior our invasion...!

 But David did this as one of the White House Press corps.
Bush&#039;s buddy like the lobbyists on McCain&#039;s bus...........</description>

		<description>Max1, I might add
What meeting in Prague?
What drones capable of delivery?
What shack in the north?  That was always under our control.
935 recorded lies.

Noone has mentioned that Iraq has the #2 (a few say #1) &lt;strong&gt;OIL&lt;/strong&gt; reserves in the world.  Iran (next target) has the #3.
PNAC said in the early 90&#039;s that as the world&#039;s sole superpower we should take control of the Middle East because of the importance of &lt;strong&gt;OIL&lt;/strong&gt; --- but that it would take a &quot;new Pearl Harbor&quot; to get the people to go along.

The pentagon laid out its &quot;Lily Pad&quot; stategy in the Middle East before 9/11.

A friend of mine was designing video games of the bombing of Baghdad for the Air Force in the Summer of 2001.</description>

		<description>Why didn&#039;t David Gregory just say that Bush had the right response sitting in front of the children reading MY PET GOAT by not shitting his pants? That would be a correct statement based in similar facts... NO?

What a whore Gregory is. 

WHAT WMD&#039;S?
WHAT YELLOW CAKE URANIUM?
WHAT MOBILE BIO-CHEM WEAPONS PLANTS?
WHAT TIES TO AL-CIA-DUH?
WHAT ALUMINUM TUBES?
WHAT IMMINENT THREAT?
WHAT SUITCASE NUKE?
WHAT MUSHROOM CLOUDS?
WHAT TRUTH?
WHAT FACTS?

So, one cam surmise that Gregory seems to think that somewhere Bush was justified to attack Iraq because of WHAT FACTS!</description>

		<description>David Gregory is typical of today&#039;s so-called &quot;journalists&quot;, He&#039;s about a half step up from Jeff Gannon.
&quot;Cable news&quot; is a bad joke. 
It is a huge pile of worthless crap.
David Gregory&#039;s job is to take that huge pile of worthless crap and try to sell to the American public for the corporate owned media that pays him to do so. 

After he disappears I will remember Gregory not as a journalist, but as Karl Rove&#039;s dance partner and hype -man.</description>

So what changed exactly that Chimpy felt the incurable need to illegally and stupidly invade Iraq ?

You’re asking me in 2008 ? Why ?
Were you in a coma when for 6 months the US media carried nothing but this case being made by the administration ?&lt;/i&gt;


What &quot;case&quot; ? It was all a bunch of bullshit (as everyone who isn&#039;t a GOP/Chimpy stooge knew)that has since been documented as a pack of lies with no substance..........

So , my question remains ; what changed exactly ?</description>

		<description>Osama Bin Laden&#039;s 9/11 &quot;confession&quot; has been debunked as not even being him on the tape.  Also, other tapes have been traced back to the Pentagon and Donald Rumsfeld.

		<description>Kilo - why is Bin Laden not on FBI&#039;s most wanted list ?  Why were the Taliban wined and dined here in Sugar Land, Texas just prior to 9/11 by the oil companies?  And tell me just where does it say Bin Laden claimed he orchestraed 9/11 ?  I would like to check that out.</description>

Uh, Davey, you haven’t read about the fact that he’d mentioned invading Iraq BEFORE 9/11??

Wow didn’t you miss the point. Did you think this makes him look worse or better ?

So GWB wanted to invade Iraq before 9/11, 9/11 happened and his Def Sec and VP immediately started pushing for an invasion of Iraq as a response but instead GWB appropriately attacked Afghanistan and not Iraq.
Getting any closer to a clue here are you ?&lt;/i&gt;

One of bush’s points was Saddam tried to kill my dad. Well last week it came out that no evidence of that plot existed. So chaulk up another lie for georgie.

The same “lie” was in the 1998 resolution to overthrow Saddam. GW shares a surname with that target, what was Clinton’s excuse for lying about it ?&lt;/i&gt;


He was attempting to mimic every GOP politician .........</description>

		<description>Even though I was a little girl when Walter Kronkite did the news, at least you could trust him to give you accurate information.

Then came Shock Jocks on the radio, some of those guys are very scary....

Now it&#039;s Shock News Reporting, what will inflame the audience the most and get the biggest response.

My example is: Beck defending WAL-MART; calling the Media and Citizens, Blackmailers and Terrorists.  And today Gregory is trying to outdo Beck by exonerating Bush, how can I incite as many people as possible.  Well he achieved his goal.  They both have something in common, absolutely no shame...</description>

They both have something in common, absolutely no shame&#8230;<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4717842', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>One of bush&#039;s points was Saddam tried to kill my dad.  Well last week it came out that no evidence of that plot existed.  So chaulk up another lie for georgie. One of his Professors made a comment that georgie couldn&#039;t tell the truth way back in college and when proved to be a liar, say he didn&#039;t say the first lie.   People don&#039;t change just get elected.</description>

		<description>Greggory is right.  Bush had the right response after 9/11 and did not immediately attack Iraq.  But that really begs the question, doesn&#039;t it.  The real question then becomes why Bush fu__ed it thereafter.  Was it:

1.  A calculated delay to give him time to drum up and invent public support for an action against a oountry that had nothing to do with 9/11? 

2.  Was this a weak willed person who realized that Iraq was not the target immediately after 9/11 but was buldozed by his less intelligent advisers?

3.  Did Bush really show great restraint when he pulled resources from Afghanistan and sent them to Iraq for an uneccessary war?  

4.  Did Bush really show great intellect when he rushed to war inspite of the fact that UN inspectors were on the ground saying that there were no WMD stashes or sites?  Was this not really just evidence of a child who wanted to upset the board before everyone knew that he was losing?

Who would not have attacked Afghanistan.  Bin Laden publicly took responsibility, the Taliban refused to surrender him or permit the US to get him, the entire world supported action and any idiot knew what needed to be done.  That was the easy part.  The hard part is long term judgment and the patience to finish the job and to really guage what the threats were.  God, I may not agree with the invasion, but it should have been a cake walk.  It took real stupity to assume flowers in the face of consistent State Department and DoD studies anticipating what happened.  It took real stupidity not to see the need for a well planned and implemented rebuilding program after the problems observed in Afghanistan. The village idiot gets the simplest part right but screws up every single thing thereafter and we are to praise him?</description>

		<description>Mr. Gregory forgot one important thing:  Irag had nothing whatsoever to do with 9-11.  So why would Bush need to invade Iraq after 9-11.  That&#039;s like saying:  Bush didn&#039;t invade Canada immediate after 9-11.  Apparently this idiot has been drinking too much of the McCain kool-aid.  I mean how stupid can he be.  And he also in his quick defense of the Bush administration seems to forget we did invade Iraq for no reason.

He also forgets the reports of former Bush administration officials who say he planned to invade Iraq right after taking office.  These same official (Mr. Clark and Sec. Paul O&#039;Neal) both say he was obsessed with overthrowing Sadam. David apparently can&#039;t get past the idea of a black man becoming President so he losses his mind and starts defending the worst President in American history.  If David can&#039;t use what brains he has then MCNBC needs to fire him.

This is worst that Bill Clinton saying:  It depends on what the meaning of &quot;is&quot; is.  I mean not even the liars in the Bush administration still try to sell us on the idea that Iraq had something to do with 9-11 except Cheney.  David is so caught up in his support for Israel that he can&#039;t see facts for what they are.  He needs to stop being Jewish first and start being an American journalist.</description>

		<description>What a crock of manure ! How many in the administration have to tell us that Saddam and Iraq were the agenda PRIOR to 9/11 before Gregory and his ilk will just shut up.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;If [Obama] talks about what you do in response to a crisis, either you have the right intelligence and you have the right response. Well, there’s not a lot of argument that Bush had the right response to 9/11. He didn’t jump to invade Iraq even though there was some argument that he should do that in the room.&quot; 
&lt;/i&gt;


This has to be among the most insane statements I have ever read...........

Isn&#039;t the sign of a &quot;right response&quot; how events effect the future and the eventual outcome of said action ?

Because Chimpy waited to stupidly (and illegally) invade Iraq somehow exonerates him because &quot;everyone in that room&quot; (whatever the hell that means) , wanted to do it immediately ?

The result has been identical , regardless of any time frame ; which is what most everyone with any viable brain matter inside their skull stated before our invasion of Iraq.

Gregory&#039;s argument is that Shrub deserves some sort of &#039;credit&#039; for waiting longer than others wanted , to screw up completely anyway ?

What in the hell is that !?!?!?!?!?</description>
