At today’s House leadership press conference Speaker Nancy Pelosi was once again ambushed with questions about her CIA briefings on Enhanced interrogation Techniques. Today she stunned reporters when she said that the Bush White House was misled by the CIA on WMDs. She stated, “Former President George W Bush was misled into thinking Saddam had WMDs just like we were both misled on the CIA policy on torture. We need an investigation to find out if the CIA tortured prisoners to force them to say Iraq was producing WMDs to deceive the former White House into going to war.“ The House Speaker implied that the CIA conspired to trick both the President and the congress into invading Iraq. Reporters were in shock when the speaker defended the honor of the ex-president, “President Bush is an honorable man who only had the nation's best interest at heart and he was deceived on WMDs just as I was on the CIA torture policy. I will introduce a bill in congress to defund the CIA so this can never happen again.”
Pelosi also spoke on Valerie Plane/Joe Wilson scandal, “It is obvious that the Wilson/Plane scandal was all about classified leaks to hurt the President and his staff just like what is going on now with my investigation into CIA torture. We need an immediate investigation into both Plane’s and Wilson’s classified leaks relating to the production of WMDs in Iraq. In addition I call on President Obama to give a full pardon to Scooter Libby who was a victim of CIA leaks and lies just like I am. National Security trumps politics We are all Americans first. "
sorry Nancy, deflecting ain’t going to cut it here. BSD still in full swing.
WTH. To think she is third in line for the Presidency.
satire alert?
This is really not going to end well for her...
Hopefully this episode will blow the Democrat’s continual 20/10 selective hindsight play out of the water.
Pelosi - that’s my story and I’m sticking with it, Version 7.2.
Is this for real or is this satire?
I suppose this is her belated effort to remove partisanship from the equation. If so, then she’s dumber than I thought.
This clinches it.
The woman is NUTS.
White straight-jacket they’re-coming-to-take-me-away
nuts.
So, she is saying that it was not Bush’s fault for not finding WMD’s? It was the CIA’s fault?
Gotta be.
>>satire alert?<<
Its unsourced from a small blog so its satire or or suspect.
I thought it might be real until I got to this part

Obvious satire.
Satire, surely.
Probably.
And don’t call me Shirley
I’m calling this total B.S.. Nancy would rather see GWB in jail than go totally nuts on the CIA. I’m sure Nancy wants to blame anything fault of CIA on the Bush administration’s 8 years of failed polices.
Only a Republican would speak well of a Dem.
BUT....
Dems and reporters never, never, never have anything the least bit nice to say about any Repub.
AND...
Especially nothing remotely nice to say about G.W. Bush.
File this non-story under the dual heading of "What are you smoking, snorting, rubbing on your belly" and "What is the color of the ceiling in your Mom's basement?"
