Bush is claiming that the Osama unit is NOT shut down!

[annabanana]

in his press conference..
"That story is not accurate"

[Jacobin]

1. up is down. left is right. good is bad.

Take your Soma and report to re education room 129C36 on the 19th floor.

2. Why Is He Talking So Long?

Doesn't he realize the more he says, the stupider he sounds? Somebody needs to put a hook out there and reign him in. What an embarrassment!

[ChicagoRonin]

4. Spin is his life preserver

Heck, neither he nor his handlers probably have any fear. Despite all of the criticisms in places like DU, the White House Press Corps and mainstream media will minimize the effects of his genuine stupidity filling the airwaves.

[abluelady]

16. You're Probably Right

What a sad state of affairs this country is in when anyone can respect this moron. I am so ashamed that he is "my" president.

[maddezmom]

3. so what is the story?

:shrug: Was he asleep at a briefing or something?

[malaise]

5. My take on this is that

Rummy and Cheney's handpicked team will take over the search. THey need a body, any body to be Osama before November and the official unit can't deliver that.

12. You are correct.

Porter Gump did a lot of damage to the Agency in a short time. Things continue to shift. Much as the OSP put "intelligence operations" into the hands of the unintelligent, the trend continues. And Bush continues to be an unintelligent, lying snake.

[malaise]

13. Yep -they are destroying all

agencies that do now bow to their agenda. Don't rule out Porter or Dusty accidents this summer.

[RufusEarl]

6. Did reporters call him on this? Did they ask any follow up

questions on this subject? Someone is wrong right? I've been reading for the past two weeks that the OBL task force was shut down, so he either has his on team chasing him are somebody hasn't told him.

7. Just more parsing...

It's quite possible that the CIA shut down their program (reportedly a year ago...)
but that Rummy's and Cheney's operations are still active, so * can say that he hasn't
stopped looking. Goss was charged with gutting the CIA, 'cause they just might come
up with intel which rebuts the cabal's line. Bluntly, there're too many corpo-reichwing
pals of Saudi royals to believe that there's a serious effort to off Osama...after all,
he's another staunch Wahhabi !
on edit - malaise (#5) has it right!

[Marr]

8. What's another lie at this point?

I mean Jesus- if this media couldn't even be bothered to point out the obvious logical fallacies in Bush's arguments for invading Iraq (prove you *don't* have WMD remains my personal favorite), are they ever going to bother with something like this?

[leesa]

10. Exactly, What difference does it make? OBL didn't do 9-11 and they aren't

looking for him either. Doesn't matter whether the unit is opened or closed.

[Vidar]

9. Even with alzheimer's, Reagan could remember his script better.

[gatorboy]

11. That's just to sooth the 30% that still believe in him.

And will believe any lie he spews, regardless of how ridiculous it is.

Hell, since he said it's not accurate, the base will now believe it was the media that had it wrong the entire time...

[Hugin]

14. He's telling the truth...

If they shut down the freezer OBL'd spoil.

Gotta keep him... Fresh! Fresh! Fresh!

[reichstag911]

15. Look! Over there! nt

17. "Lord, please send me a frozenbody before November".
