snake Powell opens his mouth: and the truth slips out

"WE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THAT NOW."

http://www.buzzflash.com/mailbag/04/06/mai04163.html

-snip-

Colin Powell said (about the incorrect terrorism numbers):

"It's a numbers error. It's not a political judgment that said, 'Let's see if we can cook the books.' We can't get away with that now. Nobody was out to cook the books. Errors crept in," he told ABC's "This Week."

They can't get away with that NOW???????

Subject: "We can't get away with that now" said Powell. Weird.

Powell Says Terror Report Was a 'Big Mistake'

________________________

In this story quoting Powell from Meet The Press this AM, he said:

"It's not a political judgment that said, `Let's see if we can cook the books.' We can't get away with that now."

Think about what that means or what the meanings could be, some clearly Freudian:

- THE PUBLIC CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT THE MEDIA IS REALLY TOUGH
- WE TRIED TO SLIP THE BAD NUMBERS THROUGH- BUT IT DIDN'T WORK
- NOT LIKE I COOKED THEM LAST YEAR AT THE UN

you name it, it's a really weird statement.

I don't know, they seem to be getting away with everything. Whatever have we stopped them from doing except put the Nazi eagle on a stamp?

2. If we cant believe the terrorism numbers
Then how can we believe the unemployment numbers. Remember a few years ago when the unemployment was at 6.0 they decided they didn't like the old formula of calculating unemployment numbers so they changed the formula and had an immediate .2 drop in unemployment. These people are LIARS.

4. One of my friends is a Republican, and
last time we visited SHE brought up this particular
lie. She even acknowledged straight off that they
Bushies were lying.

It's so cool -- I don't have to do anything and she's
coming around.
