Just how much is B* paying Wolf Blitzer?

[buycitgo]

in case you missed WB's "interview" with David Kay,
please avail yourself of the transcript when it comes out

http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/wbr.html

I'm at a loss for words at the total sycophancy Blitzer displayed.

It was worse than Fox, even; seriously

beyond appalling

he just let Kay blather on and on about how hard he looked, how DANGEROUS Saddam was, especially RIGHT BEFORE the invasion!

will say more when I calm down.......REALLY angry now

[buycitgo]

1. CNN doing MUCH better job than Wolf, right now

showing clip of Kay agreeing that outside investigation (Levin's suggestion) would be good idea, then following with clip of Scotty boy saying they don't need one

this is on Lou Dobbs.....Kitty somebody is handling it MUCH more comprehensively than Wolf, so far

uhoh....Pat Roberts on.....bet she sucks up to him

[buycitgo]

2. one of their favorite excuses: EVERYBODY else thought so, too?

"ALL the other intel agencies thought he had them, too"

oh yeah?

when, exactly was that?

and, even if it IS true, WHY didn't ANY of them think it was a good idea to invade a sovereign nation?

[dennis4868]

5. France and many other countries....

said that their intelligence agencies were saying that Sadaam did not have any WMD! The lies will continue without end!

[buycitgo]

7. they've been saying that ALL the time....ALL over! got links?

I'd love to be able to find some refutation of that particular lie, cause EVERY single media shill is letting it go without the slightest contradiction

thx

[dennis4868]

3. I am sure Wolf asked Kay...

about the influence that the Office of Special Plans had on the evidence of Iraq WMD threat that we were treatede to in the run up to war and how the intelligence branches of DOE, DIA, and DOS all said that Sadaam did not have WMD before the war (and then Bush goes on TV sating WE ARE SURE that Sadaam has these weapons and will use it at any moment). I am sure Wolf pushed Kay on these tough matters as well, right?

4. Just kissing

the business end of the American nightmare. You can see the hysteria and moral confusion it breeds, the dumb doggie blindness that runs counter to what is supposedly the core of their glamorized occupation.

Sadly, it just comes unnaturally. Underneath, everyone knows which hand will strike if you don't lick it. They know who they can get away with growling, taking advantage of and biting. And if personally, at a moment of extreme individual danger you know which hand they would reach for for help and sure wouldn't be anyone on the Right.

But otherwise everything can go to blazes waiting for them to face truth, their fears, their duty. After a while habit makes madmen of them all, regardless of salary enhancements.

22. for a minute there..

.. I thought WolfMan was going to get up on top of the desk and give oral sex to Dr. Kay ....

What the hell is going on here?

.. Is WolfMan a Beard for Perle, Wolfowitz, Krystol, Pipes, Barnes et al ??

[nostamj]

6. wolfie has received "the" call

whispered:

"a n t h r a x"

<click>

[spanone]

8. Wolfe also chimed in that he spent a lot of time around Clinton

administration and they were SURE that Iraq had WMDs. He was definitely licking his ass.

[buycitgo]

9. that's right......really disgusting supinity

how come we didn't INVADE then, you jackass, wolf?

there's AMPLE evidence out there that we DESTROYED what was left of the WMDs during those several missile attacks.

too bad WB didn't ask him about THAT documentation, isn't it?

I believe Blix had something to say along those lines.

but, then, Kay has publicly TRASHED Blix's performance, then, hasn't he?

[buycitgo]

14. speaking of Blix/Kay....here's a very good article

Blix said....
"The intelligence was not so strong in reality that it the threat could be said to be manifest," he said.

"If they could develop weapons of destruction in five years or 10 years, well that certainly is not imminent. It probably failed in my view on these two counts."
........
"Many Iraqi scientists and technicians will feel that they would have a chance to be rewarded for speaking to the Americans and the British. One should be a little cautious about what they may say," he said. "Just as defectors seem to have come up with many stories that they expected the interrogators wanted to hear, the same thing may have occurred in Iraq now," he added. "Therefore I think whatever stories they get from one must be corroborated and must be corroborated on the ground."

Blix also took issue with Kay over the danger of leaving Saddam unchecked. "There is one point he makes that if the armed attack had not occurred in the spring, then these things could have proceeded and developed into something bigger. That would not have happened "because the Security Council had never intended to abandon the long-term monitoring. The Iraqis would not have been left alone to proceed with whatever they had started," Blix said.

lots more on this

10. Blitzer is nauseating

He was just out of control in NH this week - when he interviewed the candidates and they'd even mildly criticize *'s conduct of the war, Blitzer's eyes would bug out and he'd start a "But aren't the Iraqi people better off without Saddam?" Rove Rant. Kucinich handled that pretty well, but we need to start pounding back that with the civilian casualties from the war, plus the Iraqi casualties during the occupation (something casually mentioned as an afterthought on the news, as though they hardly count as casualties).

Blitzer hectoring Clark about abortion was also really over the top. He's almost acting desperate in his Rove whoring these days...

11. Wolf Blitzer?

You just noticed that he's a neoconservative? Extremly anti-muslim as well. But then being a neoconservative that's a given. I remember his rhetoric way back in 1999, before Bush, neoconservatives, and Iraq were such hot topics. During the Kosovo campaign that is. I wish I had a clip but I remember him saying awful things. Like, "why should we be helping Muslims", like hey, its only Muslims. Mind you he used Muslims throughout the entire Kosovo campaign and not Kosovars. While he called Serbs, well Serbs and not Christians. Throughout this entire particular piece he was virtually trying to prove that genocide and ethnic cleansing aren't so bad. After all its only Muslims, right?

It's disturbing that he could say the things he said, and keep on saying them throughout the entire eighty day duration of the Kosovo camgain. Anyone remember his reports in early February 2002? Wow! He went on about how west should "pacify" Islam and that the collateral damage isn't such a bad thing. Sounded like something Coulter would say.

13. Very interesting post

and welcome to DU.

[GreyV]

20. Thx...

Thanks susu369...


CNN is still considered liberal media by many Democrats and that is truly scary.

[maggrwaggr]

12. Just saw Hardball; Matthews was just as bad

throwing Kay softballs, not calling him on the fact that he's covering his OWN ass because HE was one of the main supporters of invading before the "war".

Not asking this little question: Didn't the inspectors NOT find anything before the war.

Wasn't the war unnecessary????

I fucking hate that guy.

[buycitgo]

15. thanks for saving me some tape, and some elevated BP

saw him there, and was going to tape replay....

so far, I've seen NOBODY, not ONE single person on TV since the hearings today, seriously go after the idea that it's the OSPNACers who are CLEARLY behind this.

no mention of that evil axis of evildoers at all, including demwits like the DINO Evan Bayh

can't get any sicker than I feel.......

heughhhh.....here comes DINNER!

[Catherine Vincent]

16. Earlier on CNN they were basically avoiding any

mention of bush and his administration. I couldn't believe it. CNN were making the Democrats out to be the bad guys in all of this. CNN is just so sad and all their whoring.

[buycitgo]

17. here are the sickening, nauseating, disgusting transcripts

BLITZER: Among the experts, the so-called experts, going into the war, there was no doubt there were stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. Forget about the nuclear, for the time being. There's a little bit more ambiguity about that. But as far as chemical and biological weapons, you had no doubt, did you?

KAY: I had no doubt. And not only American experts. That was the general view of the intelligence communities around the world, including people who did not support us in the Security Council in terms of military action.

LIES, right? someone said lots of agencies weren't buying this
and why didn't that JERKOFF mention the fact that NOBODY but poodleboy thought there was ANY justification for invading, regardless of whether they thought he had any?

huh?

then, what about THIS?

BLITZER: So when the Iraqis said, in the months leading up to the war, they had no weapons of mass destruction, were they telling the truth?

KAY: I think the best evidence is now they were telling the truth.

They had weapons programs. And they had prohibited activities they had not declared or reported to the U.N. But with regard to large stockpiles of weapons, the best evidence is, they simply didn't exist at the time of OIF, Operation Iraqi Freedom.

and what does the repug sub-media bootlick have to say to that?
instead of, say, "Well, in THAT case, WHY on earth did we invade on such flimsy grounds as undeclared 'activities'?" well, you get the drift

BLITZER: And the point is that even the international inspectors who had gone in from all of the various agencies, they didn't believe the Iraqis at all?

huh? why don't they get Hans Blix on TV? huh? or Scott Ritter?

why don't you get some NONLIARS on?

I can't STAND this

http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0401/28/wbr.00.html

you have to scroll more than half way down to get the Kay interview

[K8-EEE]

18. Thank You, I KNOW! I Could NOT Believe It

He is not only letting everyone do the tired "The world is so safe now that we got rid of Saddam" line to answer every single discrepency, he is actually setting up these "answers...." IT IS FREAKING UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE!

Really, I am starting to believe that the media is def conspiring with GWB.

[buycitgo]

19. starting?

well, that's a start

good

[OneBlueSky]

21. we are most definitely being royally hosed by the media today . . .

they got to Kay, and they're about to put the screws to the 9/11 Commission, if we let them . . .
