Scottie squirming around in a lie.

[warrior1]

Q Scott, how concerned is the administration about the potential for Iraq to become a sort of training ground for Islamic extremists who may go back to their home countries and use these techniques to destabilize their governments? There's a new report on that recently.

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, let me mention a couple things. As the President has said for some time now, Iraq is a central front in the war on terrorism. Wherever you stood before the decision to go into Iraq, I think we can all recognize that the terrorists have made it a central front in the war on terrorism.



Q Just following up on that question, you said at the outset of that, the terrorists have made it a central front in the war on terrorism. I thought it was a central front in the war on terrorism before we invaded.

MR. McCLELLAN: It is. It's part of the war on terrorism, yes.

Q It was.

MR. McCLELLAN: No, it is.

Q It is now --
MR. McCLELLAN: Both.

Q Was it prior to --

MR. McCLELLAN: Both. It's part of the war on terrorism, David.

Go ahead.

1. Looks a little

like a comedy routine? You sure that wasn't satire? heh heh.

:evilgrin:

9. Next question to Scotty: "Who's on first?" n/t

[hatrack]

2. 1,000 chimps pounding on typewriters might not ever write King Lear . . .

However, I'm certain they could produce every Snotty McClellan press conference non-answer in a matter of hours.

Try this at work or at home! Just keep rolling out the same tired ol' bullshit, and keep on not responding to questions, and soon they'll make you White House Press Secretary! :eyes:

3. Almost make a person miss Ari Fleisher

But not quite...

[Cocoa]

4. David, you're totally messing up our mind games

we want to imply was but we don't want to be on record saying was because then you could say we're lying.

[ebayfool]

5. Bet Scottie is missing Jimmy/Jeff a bunch these days!

Now there was a reporter that knew how to ask a question & keep his feet off the furniture! :sarcasm:

Along w/his other (ahem) talents!

[Jack Rabbit]

6. Dare I say that Scottie is using tortured reasoning?

Or whould that bring up another subject he'd like to avoid?

[Jacobin]

7. Good one!!

"It is it uh, was and it is and uh both, and uh next question

[Lecky]

8. I hope they never stop grilling him...

until he has a nervous breakdown.

[Dawgs]

10. I'm thinking that a better follow up would be,

"I thought we went to war to liberate the Iraqis, why are bringing terrorists to Iraq to bring death and destruction everywhere? How can Bush claim to be bringing freedom to the Iraqis, when he invites the most destructive people to kill these "free" peoples?"

11. If there were a Hall of Fame for squirmers, a statue of Scotty would guard

... the main entrance.

Slimy bastard, isn't he?
