McCain on MTP
on Iraq "There was a massive intelligence failure."

Orwellian horse hocky...the intelligence was purposely filtered, forced and cherry-picked to set up for a forgone concluded war.

The intelligence was a success as designed....it was just a bad design.

1. McCain is in a very poor position
Edited on Sun Apr-02-06 09:48 AM by C_U_L8R
All his sucking up to the administration
just makes him look like a lukewarm puddle of oatmeal.

Blah blah blah

4. .. and lets hope the far-Wingers don't forgive him for
... critizing Herr Boosh in 2000 and 01, and for being 'pro choice' ... so if he does fenagle the nomination in '08, his own party will hate him as being 'too liberal'.

:rofl: What a tangled web those Republicans weave ...

2. I'd go, "Senator, the intelligence that failed is not the spying kind."
IMHO.

3. "There was a massive intelligence failure."
And then the clown says that many countries told us that Sadaam had WMD. THIS IS A LIE! Reports have recently come out that many countries warned us that Sadaam was no threat and the U.N. said the same damn thing before the war....what a liar!

6. dirty secret
the dirty secret is that the intelligence was a success and got them the war they wanted.

They want to spin away the blame on intelligence that they manipulated, ignored and pressured to "fix the intelligence".

7. Our former icons are all on stupid pills now . . . .
Ten years I thought, I might have voted for Colin Powell, Six years ago I thought, I might have voted for John McCain, . . . now I am happy that I didn't have an opportunity to make those two mistakes.
