Quite amazing to watch now that we know that each of the liars knew what they were saying at the time was a lie.

[boobooday]

1. Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld et al

Human mushroom clouds. Clouds of lies.

[secondwind]

2. Quite amazing to watch..............

We have been fed nothing but lies for seven years, .....................Bush and Cheney should be held accountable for the worst foreign policy disaster in the history of the United States.

:thumbsdown:

8. More than just foreign policy

Everything this administration has touched has turned to shit.

Economy, education, taxes, debt, infrastructure, technology, energy, corporate oversight, crime, all of the federal agencies......the list is endless.

If anyone can think of anything this administration has done good(other than convince the idiots that have been following them for the past 7 years) I would love to hear what it is because I see them turning everything in this country to shit. I just hope no one lets them get away with it or lets anyone that has been a part of it get out of their responsibility for it.

4. Umm . . .

Who else thinks that either Wolf Blitzer or CNN pushed for this piece to save face. I won't forget how they aided the invasion of Iraq by pushing propaganda.

5. Well I got to 3:11 and couldn't take it anymore

[World Citizen]

6. Is there a transcript of this available anywhere? nt

7. But, but, but. . . .

What about 9/11?

9. cnn and the other whores were no innocent party to this /nt

10. Does anyone think The Big Dick believes any of what he says?

I'd call for him to be strapped to a lie detection/taser implementation devise but I think they work on human reactions and a real pulse is needed.

So it really would be just a waste of more of our resources.

11. I watched 1 minute of Wolfie's war cheering and hype before shutting the cretin

off.

I was forced to watch that tinhorn from the Ministry of Truth lie about the war when he helped start it. I knew he was lying to hype his role as government spokesman immediately.

I didn't need for the war to start to know that the "nuclear weapons" program was bull.

The fact is that Wolfie Blitzer is just a poorly educated, lazy, and worthless liar. He could no more critically think than I could win the heavyweight weight lifting contest at the Olympics.

12. chilling words:

"If at any time I found that the Iraqis were developing weapons of mass destruction, they wouldn't exist anymore."

Who wouldn't exist? The Iraqis or the WMD? Since we know that shrub knew there were no WMDs, I can only assume the former.

[JHB]

13. "I asked..." , "I pressed...", Loads of wolf-dump.

I stopped watching after the bit where Wolfie says he "pressed" Cheney on the missing WMDs, which wasn't even halfway through.

Blitzer's painting himself as a much more diligent questioner than was evident at the time. He's on, what? daily? The segment could have been hours long if he'd included all of his softball questions and follow-up failures.

Why, it could be even longer if he'd included the footage where he interviewed critics of Bush's policy who were against the war from the beginning (and proven right by reality). Oh, wait, he _cant_ include that footage because he never interviewed THOSE people, just war-boosters.

:mad: :puke: :mad:

14. Condi and the mushroom cloud
