Hadley Is So Completely Full of It

[Rose Siding]

At yesterday's presser in Hungary, Hadley -the NSA, you'd think he'd be clued in on wmd discoveries, right?- fielded questions from the press *chortle* about Ricky's Rockets:

Q This document that was unclassified yesterday, Republican lawmakers released it pointing toward 500 weapons dumps or munitions found in Iraq since 2003, of some chemical weapons. Do you consider this as a smoking gun of some sort, proving the WMD charge, or is this old material that is pre-Gulf War? What do you make of it?

MR. HADLEY: I think really it is what it is. There's a declassified, I think one-pager, that the intelligence community has cleared. I don't know whether that's been released to the press.

(That's just the first lie in this snip -RS)

Q It has, yes, it has.

MR. HADLEY: That's really the story, I think. And I don't have a whole lot to add. It sort of, it is what it is. And I think -- I read that statement quickly last night and it's really all we can say about it. And I think people are going to have to draw their own conclusions.

(OR.....people could listen to how administration offficials answer specific questions about the munitions. Is. It. Old. Material. Yes or no? -RS)

But the bottom line is, 500 chemical munitions in Iraq, and obviously we're concerned about the potential threat they pose to Iraqis and to our forces.

(Really? -Because then a body has to wonder: Why weren't weapons facilities that had been sealed by the UN guarded against looters, hmmmm? Or should we just draw our own conclusions about that too, you hack. -RS)

I think I'm done.

(Don't I wish. -RS)
