 White House doesn’t know when they knew
from Where's the Outrage?
December 06, 2007
OMG. I haven t seen a White House press secretary have this much trouble since Scott McClellan. White House Press Secretary, Dana Perino was in hot water from the moment she began until the moment her press conference ended. This is much like the West Wing episode where CJ gets in hot water. Perino knew that today would be a bad day. There was so much contradictory information out there. Seymour Hersh has reported extensively on this subject. He has been proven right time and time again. He reported in November of last year that the intelligence community didn t have the goods on Iran. Nothing that Ms. Perino said today illuminated Bush s comments from the past 2 days. BTW, I found this while searching the internet - The Administration s most persistent spin of the new Iran NIE is that it vindicates their position because it shows that Iran did in fact have an active nuclear weapons program in 2003. That s quite some vindication. What it really means is that faced with two neighbors in the spring of 2003 who both harbored nuclear ambitions, we invaded the country without an active WMD program while ignoring the one that did. I m not suggesting we should have invaded Iran instead, but by the Administration s own reckoning, we should have. It puts an exclamation point on the colossal folly of our Iraq adventure. bad day, bush, bush administration, countdown, dana perino, intelligence community, iran, scott mcclellan, seymour hersh, west wing episode, white house press
