Obligatory Queen Nancy Calls CIA Liars Post
If the Democrats thought the Central Intelligence Agency was out to get them over the past few weeks, they ain’t seen nuttin’ yet after this little bit of insanity
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today accused intelligence officials of giving her “inaccurate and incomplete information” on the use of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics by the Bush administration, saying that CIA officials are guilty of “misleading the Congress of the United States.”
That should go over well with the folks in Langley and the CIA employees around the world, eh? Here’s a partial transcript, via Powerline (which also wonders how long Nancy P. will survive as speaker)
QUESTION: You say that Mr. Sheehy did tell you, your staff did tell you.
PELOSI: He informed me that the briefing had taken place. … When — when — when my staff person — I’m sorry, the page is out of order — five months later, my staff person told me that there had been a briefing — informing that there had been a briefing and that a letter had been sent. I was not briefed on what was in that briefing; I was just informed that the briefing had taken place.
So — so let’s get this straight. The Bush administration has conceived a policy, the CIA comes to the Congress, withholds information about the timing and the use of this subject. They — we later find out that it had been taking place before they even briefed us about the legal opinions and told us that they were not being used. …
QUESTION: Madam Speaker, just to be clear, you’re accusing the CIA of lying to you in September of 2002?
PELOSI: Yes, misleading the Congress of the United States, misleading the Congress of the United States. I am.
She repeats it several more times, and, like all the children in the Democrat Party, can’t take responsibility, and tries to deflect to Bush.
So, Queen Nancy, lay it on the line. Let’s have those hearings, waive your immunity, and we’ll see what’s what. In the meantime, don’t expect the CIA to sit back and take it. Their leaks may not make the NY Times, who’ll want to cover for the Dems, but, there are plenty of sources who will publish.
Much more at Memeorandum.
A Friday morning update:
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) isn’t exactly rushing to support Nancy Pelosi’s claim she was “misled” by CIA officials during a 2002 intel briefing on waterboarding.
Hoyer softened his language during a latter segment on MSNBC, where 5 people beyond the staff heard it, but, anyone else think he is setting himself up to say “hey, I’m not the one who called y’all liars” to the CIA when Nancy is forced out as Speaker?

Pelosi is damageing our countrys security by revealing CIA deatails and
accusing them of lieing. The CIA would not mislead congress, but Peloisi is
misleading the American people to get her self off the hook..she can not
deny the fact that she arthorized torture.
Captain Queeg: Bush stole the ice cream ! Bush stole the ice cream ! I’m taking bets on the EXACT day AND time that this idiot gets hauled out of Congress in a straight jacket…
Sure am hoping she gets pulled out of of Congress. Don’t people realize that things have become such a disaster since she came to “power” as speaker.
Step down, Madame Speaker.
You’re lying and we all know it.
Step down.
She may actually succeed in damaging the Democrat name brand if she keeps it up. It depends on how willing people are to be deceived.
Now she is comparing the CIA lack of the ability to get good intelligence on foreign matters to their ability to repeat what was said in a meeting.
Pelosi is a bug eyed left-wing whacko that wouldn’t know the truth if it bit her on the a**. Not a good move to diss the CIA madame shrieker.
I don’t think Pelosi should resign.
I think our dearly beloved president should
fire the stupid idiot.
NANCY, NANCY, NANCY,

This woman lies so much she makes a shyster conman blush

Mod’s note:
“As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”

CNN: How did Hussein intend to use the weapon, once it was completed?
HAMZA: Saddam has a whole range of weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, biological and chemical. According to German intelligence estimates, we expect him to have three nuclear weapons by 2005. So, the window will close by 2005, and we expect him then to be a lot more aggressive with his neighbors and encouraging terrorism, and using biological weapons. Now he’s using them through surrogates like al Qaeda, but we expect he’ll use them more aggressively then.

“In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more the very kind of threat Iraq poses now — a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed.
If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program.”

I have 15 or 20 more quotes, Kevin… if you would like to read them.
Lobo
OK, Lobo beat me to it, and well done, Lobo! These libs just want to keep beating that same old dead horse, and ignoring what their own folks have said.
