trailers, trailers, trailers, trailers, trailers, trailers, trailers....
omg, who could have predicted one of the more bogus of claims like the fake weapons labs trailers could be making such a comeback? I am watching CNN and earlier on MSNBC the talk today is the trailers and the fury from the WH that we dare question "what the pretzeldent knew"!

Fuck you Pat Roberts! We will hold our own Phase II hearings Live, Daily in the media!

:popcorn:

1. Has it really become that big a deal?
I've been out of the loop for most of the day....

2. well David Ensor did a pretty crappy piece
on CNN. Said the issue was "murky". Yes I have not watched a lot of TV but saw an hour at the gym and they showed scotty's outrage at the claim. Then just now the segment on CNN which was pretty lightweight but damn! A lot of the fake intel is coming back to haunt them! :)

3. I saw Ensor DEFEND the chimp quite vociferously....and misleadingly
what a DICK!

he said that it was unfair of the media to go after chimpy on this because it takes quite awhile for the raw intel to go through channels and reach his desk.

also, he said that they'd gotten some other intel at about that time that said the trailers WERE used for bio warfare, most likely

the huge problem with that jerk's report, and an obvious one to me....I was SCREAMING at the TV....is that if there were still doubts about these trailers, WHY on earth did he come on TV and assert without hesitation or DOUBT that they'd found the WMDs, at long last

that was one of the worst examples of a "journalist" covering for this junta that I've seen in awhile....well, at least since Sunday's WPost Editorial.....and just about the most transparently obvious

4. he is obviously paid well for his reporting
and not by CNN. It was the worst! Calling the chimp a "consumer" of intel? Give Me A Fucking Break!!!

8. More accurately a "hacker" of intel
You can't trust any intel that came out before the Iraq fiasco. It's all been "fixed".

5. Can you even imagine Clinton getting away with this?

It would be 24/7 impeachment.

6. Yeah, the Bushites are Really Screaming ...
... about the Washington Post report.

In fact, they are so upset that you know that Bush, himself, has just been caught in another out-and-out LIE.

9. a friend sent me an email.....
....with a link to this MSNBC story.

Honestly, I'm a little bored with the trailer story and just skimmed over it.

I mean, way back when Powell went to the UN, I suspected this was bogus....why should I be interested now?
