[rusty charly]

1. he's just not

buying her crap

parse-a-rama!

[Kahuna]

7. Does anybody believe this witch???

What a bobble-head she is. Ugh! :puke: Had the nerve to bring up connecting the 9/ dots.

[59millionmorons]

2. WOW

I never seen Bob so aggressive and emotional.

[Catt03]

14. Another WOW....me too

he is going after her for truth......good luck BOB.

[Lefty48197]

3. "The last thing we need...

...is an intelligence agency that only tells the President what he wants to hear". HA! That was a good one Condi. Dennis Miller, move over.

[trof]

4. Whopper of the Week?

paraphrase:
"This president does not look for the intelligence he wants to hear. He wants the truth, whatever it is."
oh lordy

[Mika]

5. Data points?

Condi: Lies = data points

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. Gonna be a lotta...

dents put in a lotta Vodka bottles this afternoon, in DC.

[FlashHarry]

8. OMG! Still claiming ignorance of hijacking possibility!

I don't fucking believe it!

[Pathwalker]

30. "No one thought they would DRIVE planes into buildings"

But did they think they would FLY them into buildings, Condi?

[leftchick]

9. 2 questions...

Whois the guy in the red tie? Who the hell does condiliar keeps looking at to the left?

[redwitch]

12. she's looking at the door

she wants out NOW!

[Liberator_Rev]

10. What's this new word "datapoint"?

Anybody else ever hear this word? Is this an invention to play down the importance of any one screwup in the SOTU? Forget the fact that " a chain is only as strong as its weakest link" and just ignore the importance of any flaw by calling it just a "point" or a "dot", which she also uses.

[Mika]

16. doubleplusgood newspeak, Brother

The word 'lie' has been excised from this admin's newspeak dictionary

[Mika]

11. Lies are just spewing out of her mouth

Iraq "kicking" inspectors out
N.B.C. programs
etc, etc,etc
No one ever thought planes would be crashed into buildings

:puke:

[gristy]

13. what are you doing NOW, Condi, to find those WMDs?

This has been pointed out by others. There has been very little reported on what sites have been checked, how many remain to be checked, etc. etc.

There's that link again - "slamming airplanes into american buildings" - Condi

Huh????

She says the world is better off with Sadam gone. Time will tell if this remains true. There are whole ranges of evil. Hitler and * on one end, Sadam sort of in the middle

[Q]

19. These lies may be easily believed by a viewing audience...

...that never heard much about the SPECIFIC warnings Bush* received about terrorists and hijackings.

[newyawker99]

34. Hi gristy!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[kskiska]

15. She looked stricken

when asked whether the Vice President's office had reviewed the speech. She knew she had to cover for Uncle Dickie.

[CJIowa]

21. Watch her eyes

She is lost - contradictions in the same sentence.

She admitted that a "MISTAKE" was made. That is the first time I have ever heard a Bushie make that admission.

Please, Condi, no more references to 19 men slamming planes into buildings.

[newyawker99]

35. Hi CJIowa!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[onecitizen]

45. Geeeesshhhhh..........

either she/they are liars or the most incompetent people ever on earth! Either way, they MUST go!

[jeanmarc]

17. 1998, 1998, 1998, 1998

This piece of garbage actually asked the question "does anyone believe that something could have changed in the period from 1998 to 2003?" Umm, yeah Condi. I believe that something could have changed in 5 freaking years!!!

She's not doing well, all she has is a bunch of prepared speeches and none of them are compelling. There had better be strong investigations.

[FubarFly]

25. She referred to Kamel as well

But no mention of the possibility that the WMD's may have been destroyed a half-decade ago.


Are Kamel's revelations newsworthy yet?

[judgegina]

39. 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

I, too, couldn't believe when Condiliar said, "does anyone believe that something could have changed in the period from 1998 to 2003?" I thought to myself, "Is this **** for real? That's 5 goddamn years!"

[Walt Starr]

18. OMFG! SHE'S PRE-EMPTIVELY SPINNING!!!!

She's putting a pre-emptive spin on the 9/11 report!!!

SHE'S LYING HER ASS OFF, WANTS OUT OF THERE, AND IS FUCKING TERRIFIED!!!

These bastards are going DOWN!

[aquart]

36. What? What did she say????

What?

[gristy]

20. * has "confidence" in Tenet

That's rich. So it's a "mistake"

Bush was quoted in the paper that it's time to move on. Ari was quoted as saying that much of the american people have moved on. Yup, we're moving on to impeachment/insurrection.

[Caution]

23. Yeh we'll MoveOn

right over to MoveOn. It's looking more and more like this story has got long, beautiful, silky smooth, legs, the kind of legs that have the power to knock a man over...namely pResident George W. Bush*.

[foxglove1]

22. Trying to get off the hook about Iraq and 9/11 at the same time!!!

She's using the lack of WMD in Iraq to get off the hook in both Iraq and 9/11 by saying (paraphrase): "We had a LOT more dots to connect in Iraq than we did with 9/11. For 9/11 we had hardly any dots at all."

Sue

[FlashHarry]

29. Like I said, she repeated her 9/11 lie.

Claiming she couldn't have known that hijackers would fly planes into the WTC and Pentagon. Hasn't that been debunked? I thought the CIA had reports of impending Al Qaeda hijackings in the Summer of '01.

[DoYouEverWonder]

40. Again, she can only make that claim if she didn't know

about Project Bojinka. And if she didn't know about Project Bojinka she should be fired.

They didn't need that many dots to figure out 9-11 because they had found the plans and they knew that the brains behind most of the al Qaeda terror attacks had written them. It wasn't just a fucking dot they had to connect, they had the whole damn enchilada that was accessable to anyone with an internet connection.

Condi lied, people died. Resign now, before you incompetence kills some more of us.

[linazelle]

24. How can the statement be "accurate" but not meet "confidence" levels?

This is incongruent.

Also notice how she avoided answering the question who insisted on putting this into the speech?

[gristy]

27. who insisted on putting this into the speech?

THAT needs to be question NUMBER 1 as we go forward from here!

[judgegina]

38. Exactly!

WHO insisted that this statement be used in the SOTU?
Forget that Tenet failed to properly edit the speech, as the administration as alleged; who insisted that the statement be used? This question was brought up on both Face the Nation and McGlaughlin. Condi wouldn't answer it, yet she damn sure knows the answer. From what I've heard, it looks like Uncle Dick wanted it in the speech. This question needs to be asked repeatedly!

[Peachhead22]

42. And then "Why..."

And then once we find out who insisted on that statement we need to grill the hell out of them as _why_ they we're willing to embellish a story and frame Saddam? Why were they so anxious to kill Saddam? What were their alterior motives? That'll lead to some _really_ interesting information.

Were they treating the U.S. military as a subsidiary of the IDF? Were they covering for something Poppy, Chimpy, or themselves did with Saddam? Was it purely profit motive? etc.

[Cocoa]

44. everything leads to Dick

one clue, we never see Dick anymore, another clue, none of them want to talk about Dick.

Dick asked for the Niger report, why can't we talk to Dick?

[Peachhead22]

46. That would be my guess too...

...or at least my hope. Halliburton profits+dealings with Saddam to hide+dealings from past and/or present administrations.

But I can't help being suspicious of Wolfowicz and Perle in all this. Somebody wanted him gone...and quick. They weren't willing to take "no" for an answer. Even if it meant risking everything.

[Liberator_Rev]

26. Bob ended up promoting her "datapoint"

His disgusting conclusion: the President's case was so strong, they made a tiny mistake, putting in this "datapoint".

[DoYouEverWonder]

28. It's scary that someone

who still doesn't have a clue about terrorist plans to fly airplanes into building is still HEAD of NSA.

Someone send her a clue about Project Bojinka, apparently she still hasn't heard of it. And if she doesn't know about Project Bojinka she has no business advising the president about anything, no less national security.

[suegeo]

47. NSC not NSA

She is the head of the NSC not the NSA.

She is the (incompetent) head of the NSC. The NSA spooks report up thru Rumsfeld, I think.

[grytpype]

31. Anyone know where I can get a transcript?

[trof]

32. google

CBS Face the Nation.
Should be up in a day or so.

[Individualist]

33. In contrast

to her previous appearances where she smugly spewed lies, knowing she wouldn't be questioned, it was beautiful to see her in a state of panic today. Game's over, Conning Leeza!

[TeeYiYi]

37. I thought her face was going to explode. ......n/t

TYY

[diamond14]

41. condi said that if we didn't go to WAR....this would be OUR FATE

The mushroom cloud formed by the "Mike" test of an experimental thermonuclear device rises above Enewetak Atoll, November 1, 1952. The "Mike" device used liquid deuterium and required extensive cryogenic cooling equipment. It weighed 164,000 pounds (74,546 kilograms) and had a yield of 10.4 megatons.

[Chomskyite]

43. My question

Did she get that fluttery thing going in her voice, like she does when she's lying (which is most of the time)?

[deacon]

48. she's guilty

n/t
