Dana Perino, unhinged....... Pt. V
from Think Progress:



Perino Falsely Claims Bush Never Warned That Al Qaeda Could Gain ‘Access To Iraq’s Oil Resources’»

During today’s White House press briefing, a reporter noted that earlier in the day, President Bush “warned of the danger that Al Qaeda could gain access to Iraq’s oil resources.” Commenting on Bush’s claim, the reporter said: “I don’t understand how a fragmented, clandestine, non-Iraqi terrorist organization could produce and sell Iraqi oil.”

The reporter then asked Press Secretary Dana Perino: “So the Iraqis would let a foreign terrorist organization take over their oil?” Annoyed, Perino dodged the question, saying that reporter was “missing the point” and that he should go back and read Bush’s speech because “what you’re suggesting is not what the president said.”

Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/19/perino-oil/


Perino is the one who should go back and read her boss’s speech. In fact, Bush said exactly what the reporter was “suggesting.” Arguing that the U.S. military should stay in Iraq and “finish the job” during his speech today, Bush said:

If we were to allow our enemies to prevail in Iraq, the violence that is now declining would accelerate — and Iraq would descend into chaos.

Out of such chaos in Iraq, the terrorist movement could emerge emboldened — with new recruits, new resources, and an even greater determination to dominate the region and harm America. An emboldened al Qaeda with access to Iraq’s oil resources could pursue its ambitions to acquire weapons of mass destruction to attack America and other free nations.

1. I don't have to watch it, because I already know they are a
bunch of lying con-men/women who are in agreement to cover each others butts ~ even way beyond the outside limits and realms of reason, logic, and credulity.

What's puzzling is why they aren't all admiring each others newly publicly supplied 'tar & feather' wardrobe/ensemble by now.

2. Dana is often fact challenged.
She is the product of our modern education system.

Ask her about the Cuban Missile Crisis... go ahead, I dare you!

Isn't it bad enough we're led by rabid neo-con war mongers that they have to be ignorant rabid neo-con war mongers?

3. "Weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction..."
Hold on, don't tell me. Where have I heard that expression before
used in connection with Iraq? Rats, I just KNOW I've heard it
somewhere before. It's on the tip of my tongue, it'll come to
me any second now.............

8. This also shows that the real reason we are in Iraq is for the oil.
If we don't get it someone else will and use the revenue against us.

She lies and lies and doesn't even know it.

16. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed--
luckily she usually only has to cut cheese. I think her dumbth is a gift to the White House. They can cringe later and go: "Well, what did you all expect--she's dumb!" The alert public knows Ari and Scottie sweat openly on the podium, and Tony's health flagged. Here we have a robust innocent, able to say whatever without conscience, concern, or knowledge otherwise. Bay of Pigs? (whev!) Helen Thomas? (probably a witch.) What Bush said? (Duh, he so totally isn't saying the things he said except when he's saying them.)

18. crucial story. Sadly, if more reporters had asked these questions before the war, 1 million Iraqis
would still be alive.
