Pelosi: Nothing more to say on her CIA allegation

Let me give you a clue, Democrats are stupid as ****.

Thankfully, we may be stupid, but have proven to be much smarter than republicans and libertarians last few years.

American should remember that those stupid democrats have power, while he is on the outside crying.
 
In this case yes.
She publicly stated the CIA had lied to Congress during a War.
Doing that during wartime in unconscionable.

And do you know for sure the CIA wasn't lying? If they wre isn't it her duty to call that out?

Interesting that you have pronounced guilt, before seeing all of the evidence.

If the CIA is guilty of it, will you volunteer to renounce your citizenship and leave the country? I mean you seem so sure that she is lying afterall.
 
I just love statements like these about "the war on terror", there is something so very 1984 about them.
Did someone say 1984?

"A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp."
 
If in fact the CIA has lied, then i would be unconscionable for her not to speak out. Since neither you nor I know for sure, how about we do something smart and wait on results before making wild accusations.

Even if she is right her conduct is inexcusable.

How so? If she is right, and was misled, then how is her conduct inexcusable?

If she had this belief/proof in her head concern she should have taken it to the FBI. They would have investigated..she is Speaker.
If true she would have her proof FBI stamped..if not we might never of heard about it.

To publicly accuse your intelligence services while at war without any proof like that is unbelievable for a Speaker of the House!...c'mon.
She could become CinC.....




She has an out. 2010 she loses speaker so it doesn't matter as much and the Democrats are willing to carry a lame duck for her "career".

She was accused in public though. Going to the FBI is no guarantee anything would be done, and would not help her where she is most damaged.

She is a distraction from their problems, so they need are trying to focus attention to her. She has not even been accused of doing anything even potentially illegal, so the right attacks her, and of course, since the loudest mouths on the right are not very bright, they are focusing on her unattractiveness. That paragon of studly beauty Rush Limbaugh spent 10ish minutes going on about how ugly she is.

Pelosi is a hypocritical liar. She has no right to investigate anything regarding torture or interrogation considering she knew all about it for years, then lied so she could try for the moral high ground. That's the rub.

Are the classes that teach leftists, commies, socialists, and liberals how to obfuscate, and mischaracterize what normal people say or think and to call people names? We know from history that mostpeople in these groups never have an original intelligent thought of their own and tend to play follow misguided leader and always, always put the party or group above the Country at all cost.
No one that I am aware of has ever indicated either by word or deed that they fear in anyway Pelosi other than her in her actions and leadership that run contrary to what is in the best interest of our Nation, and could have the potential to put our way of life at risk in the long run. The current climate of follow the false profit who in doing nothing but taking the country down as he says one thing then does another to further his own agenda that has yet to be made clear, and won't be until his move for dictatorial powers match the level of the fascist doctrine we see more of almost daily as he moves to take over more and more private business and bring them under the control of his leftist Administration and Congress. The leftists also seem to want the country to embrace the very enemies that threaten regional and even world peace and ignore the Constitution and bring accused terrorists from Gitmo who have yet to be tried and convected to this country and then open their arms to them, giving them the access to the ACLU and the Constitutional rights they do not deserve, and in the process allow them to recruit more radicals in prison where the Islamic radicals free access to what ever materials they need to to further their ends.
Other than this Pelosi is just another bad Representative from California like Di Fl and her cohort B. Boxer together they makeup the trifecta of shame for the state.

That's the way the right is telling the story. She's guilty for sure! Shut the woman up! She knew for sure! She lied! The CIA would never lie!

Being completely unproven...these allegations sound a little hysterical to me. I'm hearing too many calls for punishment before anybody has gotten to the bottom of it yet. Pelosi didn't break any laws even if she did lie, but due process in this case would be a hearing involving the CIA personel who gave the briefings, and Pelosi along with all the other legislators that were there.

Also...why are you conservatives not going after Boehner who admitted that the CIA lied to Pete Hoekstra

I guess Leon Paneta is a Republican hack too. What the hell are you blabbering about? Pelosi is a lying bitch, quick to conduct hypocritical investigations. They should frog march her back to SF.

Leon Panetta...the non partisan (you'll have to look up non partisan) Director of the CIA must be the advocate for the CIA if all of the records, and all of his personel, indicate that Pelosi was informed. Because he is a Democrat means nothing. The rest of your post is a great example of that hysteria I talked about in my last post.

I've seen no proof she lied. Does it exist?

I know the answer to that...The CIA's notes were created weeks after the briefing and all they outlined was what topics were covered. The truth lies in the apparent failing memories of the CIA and Pelosi. But Conservatives don't need facts, they've already pronounced her guilty and we have to put up with thier impotent hysterical cries for resignation.

My understanding was that the CIA only recently created most of those docs in response to making them public. Not a very accurate way for an intelligence agency to use to create documents.

Also, keep in mind this is the same CIA that Cheney ordered to create a false document saying Iraq was buying yellow cake uranium to provide more false reasons to convince America to endorse dubya's dream of invading Iraq.

Sooo, how much weight could you put into any document that came out of Tenent's CIA?

If your position is that the CIA is not to be trusted, then are you arguing the logical next step which is the dissolution of the agency?

Wow, that's so much of a stretch that even Stretch Armstrong wouldn't be able to cover it. :roll:
 
Pelois must be forced to say two more things:

"I apologize" and "I'm unfit to be Speaker of the House and submit my resignation from this post."

Your substantiating evidence? Democrat Underarm doesn't count.

Given the extremely serious nature of this accusation, we should establish an independent commission to dig to the truth of the matter and put all Congressmen allegedly at these CIA briefings under oath and collect their testimony and similarly depose the relevant CIA officials, and subpeona all relevant documents. All those caught in perjury should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the crimes they committed.

I'm all for it. So why aren't you demanding the Democrats who are lying about this do so under oath?
 
Wow, that's so much of a stretch that even Stretch Armstrong wouldn't be able to cover it. :roll:
Did she or did she not say that the CIA misled Congress? Did Leon Panetta not call bull**** on her statement?
 
Wow, that's so much of a stretch that even Stretch Armstrong wouldn't be able to cover it. :roll:
It's not a stretch at all. If CIA documents are untrustworthy, then how can any reliance be placed on their intelligence reports? How can the President and Congress place reliance on what the CIA tells them? If they can't be trusted, how does their continued existence make sense?
