Tony Snow tears the LID off of the TRUTH behind Saddam and Al Qaeda...

[Human Torch]

...except he's lying through his fucking Fox News teeth, as well as ignoring the recent reports saying there was NO relationship, and Saddam hated those assholes MORE than the US...but other than that, TONY rips the ever-lovin', mother-effin' LID off the TRUTH, BAY-BEE!

Jesus, I'm SICK of this crap...

From today's White House Press briefing

Watch the video at Thinkprogress.org

Q Well, one more, Tony, just one more. Do you believe -- does the President still believe that Saddam Hussein was connected to Zarqawi or al Qaeda before the invasion?

MR. SNOW: The President has never said that there was a direct, operational relationship between the two, and this is important. Zarqawi was in Iraq.

Q There was a link --

MR. SNOW: Well, and there was a relationship -- there was a relationship in this sense: Zarqawi was in Iraq; al Qaeda members were in Iraq; they were operating, and in some cases, operating freely from Iraq. Zarqawi, for instance, directed the assassination of an American diplomat in Amman, Jordan. But they did they have a corner office at the Mukhabarat? No. Were they getting a line item in Saddam's budget? No. There was no direct operational relationship, but there was a relationship. They were in the country, and I think you understand that the Iraqis knew they were there. That's the relationship.

Q Saddam Hussein knew they were there; that's it for the relationship?

MR. SNOW: That's pretty much it.

Q The Senate report said they didn't turn a blind eye.

MR. SNOW: The Senate report -- rather than get -- you know what, I don't want to get into the vagaries of the Senate report, but it is pretty clear, among other things, again, that there were al Qaeda operators inside Iraq, and they included Zarqawi, they included a cleric who had been described as the best friend of bin Laden who was delivering sermons on TV. But we are simply not going to go to the point that the President is -- the President has never made the statement that there was an operational relationship, and that's the important thing, because I think there's a tendency to say, aha, he said that they were in cahoots and they were planning and doing stuff; there's no evidence of that.

1. Guess what. The 19 hijackers were operating in the US for months

Does that mean Bush sponsored them?

[theanarch]

3. and it's pretty obvious...

...Junior's junta ordered the FBI et al to turn a blind eye towards them...so, yeah, that sounds like more of a relationship than Iraq had with al-Qaeda.

[MidwestTransplant]

2. So basically just like the 911 hijackers being here....

we knew they were here (PDB made clear and the FBI and CIA may have known a cell was here) but there was no operational relationship between our gov't and them. Sounds like what he is saying about Iraq and Al Qaeda. Should we invade ourselves?

4. I would like to meet "Mr. Snow" in a dark alley...

he's got a bad case of "smarminess" and I think that I could help him with it.

5. my gawd---talk about parsing words!

MR. SNOW: The President has never said that there was a direct, operational relationship between the two, and this is important. Zarqawi was in Iraq.my

[NanceGreggs]

6. Tony Snow ...

His is not to reason why,
His is just to lie, lie, lie!

[creeksneakers2]

7. They keep bringing up Zarqawi

Nobody ever mentions that Bush let Zarqawi go three times.

[rodeodance]

8. "I don't want to get into the vagaries of the Senate report,"

[Human Torch]

10. The equivalent of Little Scotty McClellan's...

..."I'm not going to discuss the details of an ongoing investigation."

Damn thing about facts...they get in the way of lies

:patriot:

[gratuitous]

13. That jumped out at you too?

Okay Tony, enough of the "vagaries" of the Senate report; how about the specifics, which say that your boss is a lying sack of shit?

[HuffleClaw]

9. its talk like this that will only fuel the coming impeachment proceedings

so i say let the poor fool rant.

[Rose Siding]

11. Lies. Here are a couple of bush's remarks-

From Levin's e-mail:

On September 25, 2002, the President said “Al-Qaida hides. Saddam doesn’t, but the danger is that they work in concert. The danger is that al-Qaida becomes an extension of Saddam’s madness and his hatred and his capacity to extend weapons of mass destruction around the world.” And then he said “You can’t distinguish between al-Qaida and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror.”
...
On 14, 2002, the President said “This is a man that we know has had connections with al-Qaida. This is a man who, in my judgment, would like to use al-Qaida as a forward army.”

Please explain HOW one uses "al-Qaida as a forward army" WITHOUT having an "operational relationship", Toe.

12. The only question is whether the ICC will spare Tony or not.

He should shut up while he is ahead. If he continues to lie in this fashion people may get the impression he is nothing more than a propagandist for an evil imperial dictatorship.

[Human Torch]

14. I hope the miserable bastard is burned at the stake.

I've said it before, I will say it again...in reference to Tony Snow, Laura Ingraham, Lee Atwater...

"Having cancer doesn't mae you a "good" person or a "bad" person. It makes you a person with cancer."

Tony Snow had cancer. He was treated for it, and he survived. Today, he is a lying, arrogant motherf**ker.

For whatever that is worth.
