Emailed to Harry Reid....

[madeline_con]

Senator Reid:

Tonight, as the President left Alaska, he said, "Reasonable people can disagree about the conduct of the war but it is irresponsible for Democrats to now claim that we misled them and the American people."

He quoted several Democrats, yourself included. He reported that you said, "Saddam Hussein, in effect, has thumbed his nose at the world community. And I think that the president's approaching this in the right fashion."

He forgot to mention that he quoted you out of context. I found your comment in its entirety in a CNN transcript from "INSIDE POLITICS" - Congress Debates Action on Iraq (Aired September 18, 2002 - 16:00). http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0209/18/ip.00.html

Your entire comment was as follows:

REID: "As you know when his father went into Iraq, we had a very good debate. Some said one of the best debates in the last 40 years in Congress. We're going to have a debate. But I think we have to acknowledge what's gone on in Iraq. Saddam Hussein, in effect, has thumbed his nose at the world community. And I think that the president's approaching this in the right fashion. He's now trying to get the international community to join. Secretary Powell is basically living in New York, working with international community. And we have made progress."


You might ask the President why he's still trying to mislead the American people.

Sincerely,


===========================
EDIT, BTW...


He quoted 2 others. I'm sure he was super accurate there, too! :eyes:

-"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.

-"The war against terrorism will not be finished as long as (Saddam Hussein) is in power." - Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.

15. You really need to send this entire post

to the media. Maybe Chris will cover it. He has definitely showed some backbone as of late. Keith will most likely eat it up.

16. My intelligence can't take much more insultinig, Dumbya

You can tell * is truly on his own now. There's a difference between the way * acted under KKKarl and the way he's been acting for the past few weeks. I suspect KKKarl probably told him not to defend himself against critics because going on the defense makes him vunerable. Case in point, this sort of desparate quote. GREAT FIND, MADELINE_CON!!!

Yes, I think we're getting a glimpse of what a TRUE Bush pResidency is like.

Bush unplugged, if you will.
