poopusbuttus,,,, Funny -- Bush scrapped all of Clinton''s efforts in fighting terrorism - Result, 9/11

Bush had every chance in the world to get Iran on our side in 2003 - Result, he blew it & Iraq is a catastrophe

Bush coulld have got Ossama Bin Laden, he diverted the war to Iraq - Result, OBL is still running around loose

Bush could have secured our ports & borders - Result, they are more open than ever & we are firing tear gas into Mexico

What I want to know is this: Why are all of you liberals so stupid? Why cant you do anything right?

Why would you rather live on your knees than die on your feet?

Why will you not defend this country against terrorists?

Why do the dummy libs go against every bill that will help up fight terrorism?

Why do you libs have to be alive?

Did Bush Get New Iran Intel Last Winter?

by Gareth Porter

WASHINGTON - White House officials have now admitted that George W. Bush was told that the intelligence assessment on a covert Iranian nuclear programme might change last August, but they have avoided answering the question of when the president was first informed about the new intelligence that led to that revised assessment.1218 03

That evasion is necessary, it now appears, to conceal the fact that Bush likely knew about that intelligence as early as February or March 2007.

The White House evasions began on the day the %u2018key judgments%u2019 in the Iran National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) were released. At his Dec. 3 press conference, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley was asked, %u2018So was it recent weeks that this intelligence came in?%u2019 Hadley answered, %u2018What the intelligence community has said is in the last few months.%u2019

In fact, no intelligence official had commented on when the crucial intelligence had been first obtained.

Then a journalist asked, %u2018Steve, when was the first time the president was given the inkling of something? %u2026Was this months ago, when the first information started to become available to intelligence agencies?%u2019 This time Hadley responded, %u2018You ought to go back to the intelligence community.%u2019

The evidence now available strongly suggests, however, that Hadley dodged the question not because he did not know the answer, but because he did not wish to reveal that Bush had been informed about the new intelligence months before the August meeting with Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell.

The key development that altered the course of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, according to intelligence sources, was the defection of a senior official of the Iranian Ministry of Defence, Ali Reza Asgari, on a visit to Turkey last February, as widely reported in international news media in subsequent weeks. The Washington Post%u2019s Dafna Linzer, citing a %u2019senior U.S. official%u2019, reported on Mar. 8 that Asgari, who had been deputy minister of defence for eight years under the reformist President Mohammad Khatami from 1997 to 2005, was already providing information to U.S. intelligence.
