Dobbs saying WH caught in surprize about Hamas and Intel NOT good.

1. Newsflash: Bush is incompetent.

Duh.

[htuttle]

2. No shit

I don't think they really DO intelligence anymore.

They have people spying and bugging, sure, but they seem to be mostly spying on and bugging their political opponents.

Besides, if the official White House policy was that Fatah would win the election, they probably aren't allowed to present counter views at briefings.

[gizmo1979]

3. newsflash part dos.

Republicans incompetent!

[MADem]

4. The intel hasn't been good for a long time

...and even the good intel (Bin Ladin Determined to Attack Within United States) isn't very helpful when ya can't get a Monkey to READ the shit!

Ooooooh, uranium....from AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-Frick-AHHHHHHHH!

[JuniperLea]

9. Let's all not pay our taxes and tell them we got bad intell

and see how far that gets us.

[Dogmudgeon]

5. They didn't even have a Plan B?

There were only two parties involved: Fatah and Hamas. And you mean that they never gave a thought that Hamas might win?

That's just stupid.

At one time, such incompetence from the White House would have surprised me.

--p!

[Jara sang]

6. Or that is what they want you to think.

I went to bed last night with Fatah in the lead and then a surprise victory for Hamas, where has that happened before? Bush needs terra on the front burner that means Hamas in power.

10. After the last 5 years I have come to believe that the simple answer

that jr is taken by surprise by everything and everything is as it seems or worse is probably right. Otherwise, it's a big stretch to think that he and the others are smart enough to manipulate any of this in the shadows, it would be showing them respect they haven't earned.

7. Intelligence And White House Don't Belong In Same Sentence. nt

[JuniperLea]

8. It's never their fault and intelligence is always bad

NO EXCUSE! If they can't see the difference between good and bad intelligence, then they shouldn't be president. Yes, I meant they. Collectively they aren't even competent enough to be president!

[sasha031]

11. WH should of read the Boston Globe

it was on the front page days ago about the probable success of Hamas!
OH thats right :freak: they get their news from their own sources

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. WH should read DU so they can fill their heads with logic, truth

and commonsense. They would of course experience shock, but who cares.

[SammyBlue]

13. How many more people are these asswipes going to pass the buck to?

It isn't Bush's fault. . .the janitor didn't tell him the toilet wasn't working. . .that's why there's shit on his pants!

[pretzel4gore]

14. dobbs is incompetent too

that freaking jackass has sat there for years watching a duly elected prez harassed beyond belief by his pals then this unelected joker take the country down to bananapeel republic status-35 years ago i recall reading in the alternative press somewhere that 'in the future, villains will be heroes and heroes will be villains' and; well on cbc radio today i heard some dense old fool lady say she liked bush cuz 'he's 'a good honest hard working family man'
the senile fukker don't even know bush aint a man, he's a goddam chimp!....that's why busheviks insist on 'intelligent design'...they can hardly admit that bush is evolved since he seems not to have, can they?

[KamaAina]

15. Paging Karen Hughes. Karen Hughes, white courtesy phone...

Weren't we supposed to be winning the hearts and minds of the Arab people, while invading and occupying a key Arab country? However could that have failed? :sarcasm:

[KoKo]

16. Hamas was Bush's Wet Dream! He though God Smiled on him once again!

Now the Middle East can BLOW and he won't get the blame. Only the "fair elections" in Palestine will get the blame.

It's the PNAC PLAN...dontcha know. :shrug;

[leftofthedial]

17. don't any of these whores ever note that all this bad intel

keeps coming from king george's executive branch?

CIA, NSA, DOD, CDI . . . ALL executive branch organizations.

[bklyncowgirl]

18. Neocons, meet reality. Democracy is on the march. Heckuva job. Guys.

If you piss people off enough they are going to vote for the craziest, nastiest SOBs they can find.

Democracy is on the march in the Middle East--only we don't like the results.
