Tony Snow: "We didn't create the war in Iraq. We didn't create the war on terror."

[Doondoo]

On the first day of the 34th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, a former Fox News Channel anchor, made a speech in which he argued that terrorists were to blame for the Global War on Terror, not the United States.

Speaking at the Omni Shoreham Hotel's Regency Ballroom in Washington DC, the presidential advisor said, "We didn't create the war in Iraq. We didn't create the war on terror."

Snow also vowed that the US would "capture terrorists hiding out in their caves and their spider holes, tapping away on keyboards."

According to The Right Angle, one of twenty-five blogs which received credentials for the conference, Snow "received a standing ovation following his speech."

"His message for conservatives was simple: take off the dark-colored glasses 'because we've got a lot of work to do,'" Ivy J. Sellers blogs. "The world is watching and waiting, Snow told the crowd, and 'when we win...the rest of the world's going to say, "We want to be like American."'"

1. You're a fool if you think anyone believes you, Tony.

Give up now before you are laughed off the podium.

17. Not true. There are plenty of delusional peopel in the US that

most likely believe him, or are lying to themselves - in order to believe him, but either way there are several million GOPig fools that will hold on and out to the bitter ends.

[dogday]

19. Those delusional people are in the minority

The majority of this country wants this war to end.... They know there is corruption involved in this war....

[MUAD_DIB]

21. Yes. We all know that, but that was not the point I was making.

There are a few million idiots that would believe anything that BushCo said or did; even if Bush sprouted horns and a tail.

[dogday]

22. Sadly that is true

However some of those have even crossed from the dark side and hopefully will continue.. We can only hope...

6. Translation from the Orwellian dictionary:

War is peace.

Slavery is freedom.

"We did create the war in Iraq. We did create the war on terror."

The truth is easy to find with these idiots: it's always the exact opposite of what they say.

8. A WAR OF CHOICE you asswad. Lying son of a bitch. Tell that to the dead.

[ChicagoRonin]

9. Reminds me of abusive parents or boyfriends

. . . who tell their victims that they're being made to hit them.

[ecstatic]

10. just plain offensive and disrespectful

I've heard some whoppers come from him and this admin., but this is just way over the top. It insults the intelligence of Americans, the world, and disrespects the people who have died and are yet to die over this fiasco.

[Atman]

11. Me thinks thou protests too much, Tony

You obviously did BOTH, you lying fuckwad.

[BOSSHOG]

12. And as you good conservatives know - the sun revolves around the earth

despite all the factual data trotted out by evil liberals. They still contend there was no WMD and all they have to show your conservative mind is facts. As good conservatives you know what to do with facts which originate from liberals. They also say our great president deserted his national guard unit to avoid a drug test. Nothing but a steady stream of absurdity. Look in my eyes, listen to me. I'm a conservative. I'm your higher power.

[Atman]

13. So, do those caves and spidey holes have wi-fi or broadband?

Pfft. They're so backward over there they probably still have dial-up in their caves. Moran Bin Laden probably even still uses AOL! BWAHAHAA!

[Missy M]

14. Do you think Snow really believes the garbage he spews...

from his mouth. Do the people at CPAC really believe it too. Could they possibly be that stupid.

[Atman]

15. He only believes the numbers on his paycheck.

He's the worst kind of lying whore.

[blogslut]

18. Welcome to CPAC

Leave your brains at the door.

Malkin's getting an "Accuracy in Media" award too!

[bdamomma]

20. nothing like lying your head off Tony, what SOB's

[LibDemAlways]

23. That "we didn't create the war on terror or in Iraq" crap is

still the line being sold to young military recruits, and they're buying it. Recently a 20-year-old from my area was killed in Iraq. His funeral was covered in the local weekly. A 17-year-old who attended the funeral explained to the reporter that he, too, had signed up to fight the "terrorists who attacked us" and "bring freedom to the Iraqi people" as a Marine.

This high school kid is willingly allowing himself to be fed into a meatgrinder because he has no understanding of the facts that 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq, that our presence is fueling the anarchy in Iraq, and that going after a civilian population uninvited with bombs and bullets and continued occupation of their country is not a recipe for "freedom." The media is failing that kid. The military recruiters are failing that kid. The administration is certainly failing that kid. And the adults in that kid's life are failing him if they aren't arming him with the information he needs to make an informed, eyes-open choice.

24. I wish the White House press corp would just not show up one day

and tell them we will make up our own stories today.
