Scott McClellan's WMD claims: Jay Rockefeller Advises Saddam's WMD move (2002)(Repost Vanity/Barf)
FR ^ | November 29 2005 | Free Republic

"I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq — that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11."

So spoke Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) on “Fox Sunday” on November 14, 2005, who at the time of his trip was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and is now its vice chairman.

I'm having a hard time understanding why today the MSM would go blitzkrieg with Scott's book.

If it's about WMDs, we (and Israel) have acres of proof of their existence. They know that we know that they really don't want to go there.

So what's going on here? What's with the MSM barrage? Are they trying to pre-empt something about to break re: Obama?

Could be. Obama the gaffe-machine was stating to get traction. The news has been increasing good from Iraq. They needed something to drive other news off the air.

For sure the MSM are not surprised as they are pretending to be, I heard Richard Wolffe of Newsweek (and Olbermann’s butt boy), say he has been talking to Scotty for months.

Yes, this was planned.

Maybe to preempt any action in Iran?

This story is sharp and viral: our local AM talk guy in Austin led his show with it.

It broke last night, and everybody was on it, but there’s no meat here. ?

Are we going to have to go on a WMD evidence blitz, too?

The part of this that worries me most is the number of people around Bush that wind up stabbing him in the back. Hell, they don’t even wait for him to turn around.

Does he just pick lousy people or is it that he doesn’t inspire trust & loyalty? He could at least project a little fear.

Scott"s mom is Carole Keeton Strayhorn, she is a Republican, although she ran as an Independent for Texas Governor in 2006 against Rick Perry (R).

If it has Olberman’s finger prints on it.......then it is “Crap”

True, but this is a huge media push today, like unveiling a new Coke or something.

Rush even gave it some major air.

Bob Wexler, Rat-FL (uglier than a flathead catfish) has an impeachment movement going on, but there is no there, there.

I can’t intuit the battlefield they’re setting up.

It's possibly about trying to make McCain be Bush's 3rd term. If they slam Bush again, they make a 3rd term that much more undesirable, in their minds, therefore McCain is undesirable.

We’re all hoping the Michelle Obama ‘Whitey’ video doesn’t drop until Hillary croaks herself out of the race, or until the DNC croaks her out.

That still doesn’t explain why the DBM would coalesce on McClellan today. There’s got to be another reason.

".....What's with the MSM barrage?......"

MSM goes into feces flinging mode whenever they have a GOP turncoat and something to hit Bush with.

Could be.

Scott’s a local here, and all his family, too.

We also have Dan Rather (and his daughter) running the local Rat scene. McCauliffe, as well.

Strayhorn, I hear, felt dissed by the White House, because she couldn’t raise money. I know nothing about her son, except what I saw on television, and ever time I did, I kept thinking: Hell, I could do better than this guy. When Snow replaced him, it was like Favre replacing some high school quarterback.

dims will blow whatever it is... and Bush has finally had enough. Rumors are that “people” around Bush are getting set to release some things about scotty that will destroy him and any future career. In reality, he was fired .
