The best way to catch “bad guys” in covert operations is of course to go on TV and announce everything you know about them, and what you’re planning to do to catch them.
Today this is the anniversary of the D -Day invasion. Folks in the public, and press, might think about how successful that operation would have been had Ike gone on radio to announce all the plans say, oh, six weeks before the operation. Yep, pointing out the “lie” that all those cardboard tanks and military equipment were fake to the German high command would have made things run so much better.
Of course comparing the two Rice stories, the WMDs and “mushroom shaped cloud”, vs the “mob reacting to a movie” isn’t well , comparable. The outright lies, to Congress to blackmail them, and the public to con them, regarding those non-existent WMDs was a lie that got thousands killed. Susan Rice was reading text to divert attention from the search for real culprits to an event that had already happened with four deaths.
“Right wing stupid” is the order of the day in Payne’s world.
It is hilarious how you right wingers just push aside all the horrible things the Bush presidency did and call Obama the worst pres (hell your conserv icon Reagan sold weapons to Iran when they were under an arms embargo). You all do realize any of us with half a brain that have paid a minute bit of attention to US history over the past 30 years can see just how stupid and hypocritical your comments are right? You know this right? Apparnetly not
yes Reagan should not have sold weapons to iranian moderates but the weapons he sold pale in comparison to the advance jets bho gave the extremist in Egypt true bush 2 was a bad potus but bho is beginning to make him look good
I can’t say I like Rice all that much. I grew up around the national security crowd and then went to college with a bunch of them, and we just don’t along. But they aren’t stupid. I knew some of the people in the Bush national security crowd, and I never thought they were stupid. Just evil. But I guess you’re not going to get Mother Teresa in these positions.

Let’s see, she read a PRELIMINARY report, which she stated was a PRELIMINARY report. It identified the PROBABLE cause was a reaction to a film.
No Common Sense in this Payne.

She repeated what the CIA told her. If that was LIE then the CIA is liar.
