Dana Perino: "It is very troubling that Democrats would be so cynical to use our troops in that way"

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/01/congress.iraq/index.html

<snip>

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino last week warned Democrats against "using the troops for their own political PR stunts" by having Bush receive the measure Tuesday, in hopes that he would veto it on the anniversary.

"It is very troubling that Democrats would be so cynical to use our troops in that way," she said.

1. Your visuals say it all, sabra. Thanks. I wish Perino could see this
thread. She sounds so very clueless, almost all the time.

25. Yes, moving to the "Faux Formula"...
Pretty soon, instead of doing press conferences at a podium, she'll do them sitting down and give us "Basic Instinct" moments with a revealing short skirt. Then we know that the WH is desperate in trying to keep its appeal with the public!

18. That's right!
The list of inanities is soooooo friggin' long that some of these things get lost in the crowd! I want to laugh too, but I had to catch myself. Not only does Bush send them into a fool's war for no reason, with no proper training, with no body armor, with no plan nor exit strategy, but he also says "bring them on", pretends to look for WMD at the correspondence dinner and forces those who must obey his orders to tell the American people lies so that they will continue to be held in this unwinnable situation. If I could take a dump on chimpy's face, the hair on his head wouldn't even be good enough to wipe my ass (although I would still take the dump, I mean come on!)

4. The hypocrisy is just unbelievable, isn't it?
I was floored when I was told the turkey in the photo op with Bush was FAKE! I don't know if that's true or not, but if you can stage a fake turkey photo op with the troops, where would you draw the line?

Would you be willing to fake a terrorist attack so you have a "reason" to invade another country? :shrug:

It sends chills up your spine.

5. Snow and Perino must be cringing everytime they put out another lame point ordered by Rove....
... they know the best they can come out of this will be for historians to say they were terribly misled and dumb to believe such drivel.

it is a shame that our White House cannnot tell the truth about anything.

15. Dana, its troubling that Bush would use you in such a cynical way
of course, I'm sure you feel honored to lie for him in spite of the cost to your country and fellow americans.

Edited on Tue May-01-07 01:51 PM by demga
And why do hate America Ms. Perino?




Edited for clarity.

19. I get ticked every time they talk about the Democratic congress "micromanaging" the war
The original micromanaging assholes, Rumsfeld & company are why we are in this mess without enough troops.

Allow me to explain:
1) I know we shouldn't be there at all, but we are.
2) Since we are there, it seems reasonable that we would have committed enough troops to provide stability, which we did not.

How many generals resigned over point 2? Zinni...

22. Dancing Perino, the Repugs have spilled our troops blood and
will continue to spill their blood until they win WHAT? There is no winning an invasion for OIL.



No more BLOOD FOR OIL!

26. Where are all the photo op pics of bush at soldiers' funerals?
Edited on Tue May-01-07 02:31 PM by Straight Shooter
Oh. Wait. Never mind.

Nothing more cynical than letting 3,300+ die for your agenda and not having enough respect to attend even one funeral.

You want cynical, Dana? Find the pic of bush running with the soldier who has the prosthetic "legs," or the one where he shakes the prosthetic hand of another soldier at Walter Reed.

Edit to add one of the photos:
