Now, it’s just a guess, but the guess here is that Hillarious had pretty much the same intelligence her hubby did before he left office, and if she did, either the consensus intelligence was that Iraq had WMDs, or (by what she said in her Senate speeches) she is a colossal liar (more than most of us think she is anyway.)

So yes, Rocky, I suspect she was effectively briefed on what the Iraqi foreign minister said (and had been saying for some time.) It’s just that, by his history, neither he nor his boss could be believed.

On Sept. 18, 2002, CIA director George Tenet briefed President Bush in the Oval Office on top-secret intelligence that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, according to two former senior CIA officers. Bush dismissed as worthless this information from the Iraqi foreign minister, a member of Saddam’s inner circle, although it turned out to be accurate in every detail. Tenet never brought it up again.

‘Cuz the decider was, and still went ahead. And didn’t bother telling anyone in Congress about the intelligence that would have at least caused them pause for thought.

He didnt make a mistake on faulty information as Hillary did, he lied.

Funny how republicans can dish it out but can’t take it.

Listen, I could drag up maybe thousands of instances of Islamic terrorism, but you could throw in how evil “Christians” are by pointing out the Oklahoma bombings. With all the Christian jihadists worldwide beheading those poor Muslims for not converting I could understand why you would, but your point would be completely irrelevant.

Kinda like now.

Olson gave what a colleague would later call “deliberately evasive” answers when questioned about this advice in testimony before Congress. He earned a full investigation by an independent counsel, for perjury and obstruction of justice, because of this testimony.

Can someone who’s been convicted of a crime be Attorney General?

Five times in just the last eighty years, conservative Republicans have assaulted the Constitution in order to grab power they couldn’t gain at the ballot box.

Theodore Olson was at the center of three of those five plots.

Do you really think he’d survive the bruising confirmation battle he’s sure to get? His intimate involvement with so many of the partisan politics of the past 15 years will make for a bloody battle that will only serve to tear the country further apart.

Look, we’ve got too many problems at Justice for someone like Olson. Can’t there be at least one non-partisan that Bush could nominate, and who could restore the department to the rule of law?

…[I]f you attack the Clintons publicly, make sure all your friends know that you are not planning suicide.

And, on topic for recent events vis-à-vis General Patraeus’ testimony:

From the June 23 Hannity & Colmes:

COLMES: Are all the American people that don’t support him [President George W. Bush] dumb?

COULTER: No. I think, as I indicated in my last book, they’re traitors.

So, I guess if you’re wondering where anyone came up with the idea to put the General and ‘traitor’ in the same sentence, you have your answer.

Funny how republicans can dish it out but can’t take it.

Or gay whorehouses run out of a congressman’s apartment.

Or he might even get to itching about pursuing $90,000 in very cold cash.

And those are just the tip of the iceberg.

They’d rather have someone that can’t see beyond his/her nose unless it’s Republican monkey business.

The sad part is the donkey leaders can’t be shamed into supporting a qualified candidate because they have no shame. Ethics mean nothing to them because the definition of ethics is relative, not relevant.
