Whitehouse: how dare you suggest we verify claims before going to war in Iraq!

...

Shut up, May.

Yes Ace, some are more equal than others. In other news, pigs have begun walking on two legs.

May: the black helicopters have been dispatched. Resistance is futile.

That's "at May", dumb-asses. Can't you even fucking read?

Whitehouse: how dare you suggest we verify claims before going to war in Iraq!

The hypocrisy is delicioius!

May, its just too bad that 'fake but accurate' doesn't work for Republicans.

Verify claims with who? Other countries perhaps? Previous administrations, maybe?

Sure, none of that happened. Whatever.

colon, you ignorant slut.

Should we perhaps verify claims of WMDs with the Syrians, seeing as they now have Saddam's stockpiles. Or with the dead Kurds who were gassed? Maybe we could have just asked Saddam about the several tons of WMD munitions that we have found in Iraq (but maybe that's not quite enough for you, huh? you want a bunker FULL of WMDs, right?) Or perhaps we can simply ignore the omnipresent capability of the regime to produce chem weapons in very short order.

Newsweek COUNLD check "sources," assmunch.

It's a little harder to verify state secrets of a hostile nation.

The moral equivalence is phenomenal!

Ahem. Thanks to--well, me--for alerting Ace to this story. No doubt he was so choked with outrage that he neglected to mention that when he posted.

I'm a little surprised to see that anyone's bothering to debate with May, aka colon, aka "I'm too lame to think up a pseudonym." We all know the "Bush Lied!!!" claim is horseshit; we all know it's been rebutted time and again; we all know that doesn't make any difference to folks like May in the reality-challenged community. Personally, I'd rather argue theology with a Jehovah's Witness.

May, or whatever, your problem, see, is that not only can we read, but we DO. Your "hypocrisy" claim doesn't hold water with those of us who can process information more complex than can fit on a "KERRY/EDWARDS: For a STRONGER America" or "BUSH=HITLER" bumper sticker.

That link is hysterical.

Q With respect, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it's appropriate for you, at that podium, speaking with the authority of the President of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print?

MR. McCLELLAN: I'm not telling them. I'm saying that we would encourage them to help --

Q You're pressuring them.

MR. McCLELLAN: No, I'm saying that we would encourage them --

Q It's not pressure?

MR. McCLELLAN: Look, this report caused serious damage to the image of the United States abroad....(blah blah)

Q Are you asking them to write a story about how great the American military is; is that what you're saying here?

THE HORROR!
Sorry for the accidental unfinished post above.

whoops, nevermind
