The 66 Percent Solution-- 2
But about the 66 percent-- how could you miss the frequent headlines about Bush and his perilous standing with the American people? Guess what percentage of Americans reject the Bush policy in Iraq? It is entirely safe to say they voted their convictions.

CBS:

If you can locate someone who DOESN'T "Mock Bush's Iraq Plan", then I think you will have found something newsworthy.

shorter Lieberman18: IT'S ALL CLINTON'S FAULT!

You know, I'd take you a little more seriously if you weren't so blatantly and blindly partisan. Could Clinton have done more? Sure. Could Bush? Hell yeah - yet, you seem to ignore any and all culpability from Bush. From wikipedia's entry on the Cole bombing:

Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice told the Commission that when the administration took office on January 20, 2001, "We knew that there was speculation that the 2000 Cole attack was al Qaeda... We received, I think, on January 25th the same assessment [of al-Qaeda responsibility]. It was preliminary. It was not clear."
...
According to Dr. Rice, the decision not to respond militarily to the Cole bombing was President Bush's. She said he "made clear to us that he did not want to respond to al Qaeda one attack at a time. He told me he was 'tired of swatting flies.'" The administration instead began work on a new strategy to eliminate al-Qaeda.

Anyhow, there's lots more there - but neither Clinton NOR Bush come out smelling like roses. But don't let the facts get in the way of you repeating the party line like a good communist.

Re: "The Washington-based Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Institute said it had intercepted the video from Ayman al-Zawahri"

You don't say? Why do we bother spending billions upon billions of tax dollars on our less than useless "intelligence" network, when we can simply ask these 2 people (the Institute) what is what?

Re: "SITE did not elaborate on how it received the message"

Really? Neither one of these two people (the Institute) would eleborate, eh? I wonder why that might be?

Oh well, I guess it's a good thing that these 2 people "intercepted" this video, before it was posted to an "Islamic website". We really dodged the bullet on that one, eh CBS?

You mean there's Islamic Fundamentalist in Iraq that would like to attack inside the US??

No.... I can't believe it? We've only killed a couple hundred thousand innocent Iraqi's over fake WMD reports, installed an Ayatollah friendly ***** regime, and created a sectarian Civil War and someone over there is pissed???

Before we invaded the CIA estimated Al Qaeda to have 4,000-5000 members, now its in the 10,000-100,000's . Great job Chickenhawks!!

Of course, the Chimpster will use this to whip up his State of the Union Address and the corporate military industrial media complex will play right along!!

Dear CBS,

This article is a fine example of the kind of flimsy, unsubstantiated garbage which has led to the shameful culpability of the Western media, in the horrific death and misery in Iraq and elsewhere.

Did you bother to check out this SITE Institute? I did. A brief look at their website reveals that this "Institute" is comprised of 2 people, both are co-founders.

This two-person "Institute" has been in existence for all or part of 5 YEARS. According to their website, Rita Katz, Director and co-founder of the SITE Institute was "born in Iraq" and is a "graduate of the Middle Eastern Studies program at Tel Aviv University"

Tel Aviv University? No kidding? Who would have guessed?

This story is a bald-faced propaganda piece, and for CBS to lend credibility to this deadly foolishness, without challenge, is irresponsible to say the least.

According to CBS, last January "Zawahiri" said:

"Butcher of Washington, you are not only defeated and a liar, but also a failure. You are a curse on your own nation and you have brought and will bring them only catastrophes and tragedies," al-Zawahiri said, referring to Bush."

Who could possibly argue with that statement?

But remember, Perv Bill DID KNOW HOW to send B-52s on regular bomb runs over Belgrade, Yugoslavia - incinerating those vicious Serb terrorists - those armed to the teeth men, women and children.

One measley missile strike on camps practically deserted.

And everytime I've confronted a Clinton-apologist or Bush-hater about this, they can't answer - because they know d&mn well it is the truth!

singinrick,

right on.

Even Richard Clarke, no friend of President Bush, points out that Tenet told the White House we were at war after the Cole Bombing. And John O'Neill, murdered on 9/11 and Clarke both argued for a hit on Osama - the Northern Alliance had him staked out.

So what happened?

Billy Cohen, Republican in name only, Sandy Burglar, and Madame Miss Piggy NotBright told O'Neill and Clarke "NO GO"...Why?

Before any bozo cares to blame the Republicans, Miss Piggy told them that Perv Bill was involved in sensitive negotiations with Arafat and Israel's most decorated coward Barak at Camp David, and that American bombs hitting Arabs would get ol' Yasser bent out of shape.

Yasser wasn't going to sign any peace agreement anyway, but that didn't matter. For his friend Arafat, Pervert Bill and his advisers compromised the security of thousands of Americans - including the 3000 murdered on 9/11.

Don't believe me, Neo-Fats? Read Clarke - remember y'all loved him.
