White House Fighting Back in Intel Flap
Associated Press


--- On Monday, White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett went to Capitol Hill to urge Republicans to emphasize positive aspects of the broader war against terrorism, administration and congressional officials said.

Bartlett met with top GOP House and Senate aides to essentially provide "talking points" for countering Democratic attacks and to share recently declassified intelligence information with them, officials said.

The administration wants its GOP allies in Congress to do more to emphasize some of the upside to deposing Saddam, including humanitarian gestures and the freeing of the Iraqi people.

Other aggressive efforts are expected by the administration in the days ahead to try to regain control of the message, including a possible speech on the issue by Vice President Dick Cheney, administration and congressional GOP aides said. ---

3. When the Democrats raise questions, they are "bashing"
When the White House continues to lie and stonewall, it is "fighting back"

So much for the liberal media, yo.

4. Bullshit...
I agree. How come it's that Democrats are "Bashers" as according to Media Ho's like Tweety Matthews (who no one watches, by the way) but when the White House lies to us, tweety says that they are victims who were mislead by the CIA.
