It ain't over 'till we SAY it's over.
So yesterday, Ari the Liar came out and said that Preznit Slash'nBurn has 'moved on' from the WMD lie dustup.
Well, we haven't. And neither has Jay Rockefeller.
Referring to recent White House and CIA statements meant to defuse the controversy, Rockefeller said, "I think it raises more questions than it settles, and I think it's far from over."I cannot believe that Condi Rice... directly, from Africa, pointed the finger at George Tenet, when she had known -- had to have known -- a year before the State of the Union."
"The entire intelligence community has been very skeptical about this from the very beginning," Rockefeller says. "And she has her own director of intelligence, she has her own Iraq and Africa specialists, and it's just beyond me that she didn't know about this, and that she has decided to make George Tenet the fall person. I think it's dishonorable."
Neither has Dick Durbin:
"The credibility of the president is on the line. And I believe that he should move forward as quickly as possible to call for a full investigation. We should be able to point to those people fully responsible for putting that misleading language in the State of the Union address. They should be held accountable, and they should be dismissed," asserts Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin.
They were hoping and praying that by saying they'd moved on, that this story would die over the weekend.
Well, the weekend's over, and it ain't dead yet.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
Not one for Optimism, I see a beauty in all this: it keeps this administration on the defensive. And as long as they're on the defensive, that prevents them from going on the offense.
In addition, the tone of the administration has gone from proactive to reactive.
I haven't felt this good in a looong time.
