CNN Is Doing Its Job? Wow........

Now talking about how The Pentagon was duped by Iraqi Defectors. They named the Iraqi National Congress and Chalabi. SOme of these guys didn't have the backgrounds they claimed

1. Relax
CNN will very soon roll over and beg for the White House to buttfuck them again because it just feels so GOOD. (See Rather, Dan, "I Once Was A Journalist.")

2. Did you notice the tone of the white house corps? they kept talking
about dignity and honor coming back. They were responsible
more than any other group for protecting this ape and now it
appears to me that they have a jilted lover tone. I feel
for the first time that Wolf was doing his job. He sounded
like a real reporter and when the two talking heads - Eric
Liu and that cow- were finished, he said he would have Eric
back, not her. All she could talk about was how Americans
were not paying attention and it was no big deal. <CONTACT
YOUR CONGRESS IDIOTS TODAY!>

I think we have a thwarted press. I also think that for the
first time the idiot white house press feels that they are
now free to act, that the fake aura of doom is over and that
the white house got neutered.

GOOD!

6. Yes, Rogue.....I noticed it, too. They were enjoying reporting all this..
and even the report that Chalabi's folks had mislead on intelligence leading up to our Invasion of Iraq.

It was incredible.......Barbara Starr had a big smile on her face as she reported that we had paid the Iraqi Defectors for information which wasn't credible! (thereby confirming that we went into Iraq based on bad intelligence and lies)

3. If they are still talking about this Friday,
they'll be doing their jobs. No credit yet.

4. Read between the lines

I just heard a reporter refer to a "chink in the iron clad case to go to war". See - there were no doubts before, it's only now revealed that there might have been a problem, and if there was, it was the Iraqi defectors fault.
Disinformation at it's worst.

Bush lied, people died.

5. Why was Chalabi a surprise to the Pentagon?
After all, he is a convicted fraudster. Then again, Poindexter made it back. Is a criminal record a plus point or a minus point on a Pentagon resume?

9. CNN is selling air time
Wolf, every 15 seconds: "And you can hear more from Bob Novak himself on CNN's Crossfire at 4:30 pm Eastern!"
