“The Gang that couldn’t shoot straight”
By: John Amato on Friday, November 3rd, 2006 at 11:47 AM - PST

I know it probably pained them to say it, but that's what Nora and Andrea Mitchell are calling the White House and the right wing bloggers for forcing the release of Saddam's documents.

Video-WMP Video-QT

Their master plan of finding WMD's backfired on the Army of idiots. (rough transcript)

Mitchell: …Peter Hoekstra in fact said, Quote: "Let's unleash the power of the Internet on these documents to see if there was a smoking gun on WMD's"—the intelligence experts were reluctant to release these documents..Skeptics at the time said that all this was being done by conservative bloggers and others on the Intelligence committees to try and bolster their argument that the war was in fact justified in the first place.

These specific dozen documents–they did have a blue print for making bombs and those technical documents could have been helpful to terrorists…The net affect would likely be that it would hurt the administration because it shows that they—once again—were the gang that couldn't shoot straight!—they forced the Intelligence community to do something that the experts didn't want to do and the President himself overruled John Negroponte on.

Sadly, No! has more…

2. Sadly, that's probably true...
we've already seen how terrible the Pentagon is at keeping track of anything. I'm sure that along with all of the cash and weapons, they were throwing around (and losing) plenty of laptops in the Middle East as well.
:(
