Kit Bond Still Peddling Iraq WMD Intelligence Distortions

Andrea Mitchell talking to Kit Bond about the confirmation of Leon Panetta for CIA and Bond still trying to say that the intelligence on WMD's in Iraq wasn't fudged. He fails to note that the intelligence on Iraq was being fixed around the policy as reported here:

Peddling...please.

Pedaling is something one does on a bicycle.

I'm from Missouri, and this guy is a true blue idiot.. Of course Missouri is full of idiots, but this guy takes the cake. This guy is a weapon of mass destruction. He's a hill billy and a disgrace to america. There are more than a few like him around. They take big fat checks to make sure that the rich stay rich and the rednecks stay dumb. Nobody ever said we evolve quickly and Kit Bond shows why. I cannot fully express my disgust for this worthless soul.

i love your channel heathr. don't change a thing. you aren't a journalist, but someone commenting on the news. editorializing is totally fine. it's when the person delivering the news itself starts editorializing (*cough* faux news* cough*) that it starts to stink.

fyi: trying to sell something is "peddling", trying to change a previous statement is back "pedaling".

Andrea should have asked Kit what the role of the Office of special plans in the intel gathering and why such an office was created by Bush appointees when the WMD intel was so widely available.

oh lord, more re-writing of history justifying bush's lies to go into iraq... what a liar!!!

Well I'm a happy subscriber. It's not really commentary (except for a little in the description) because heathr lets these guys hang themselves mostly.

Here Senator Bond makes the rhetorical argument that an intelligence summary reflects an entire set of available facts. It does not. Since the Executive controls intel, good luck on getting what you need Congress.

For every Kit bond there's a Claire McCaskill, though. That's the good thing about being stuck in the middle: you get a good mix of idiotic and brilliant.
