Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Liar to the press... liar to the American people. "I didn't know about the use of waterboarding."

.
Clearly, the despicable Speaker of the House in DC has been reduced to the punch line in this old saw:

"How do we know the Speaker is lying?"

"Her lips are moving."

Earlier, I busted her chops for lying about pork in the stimulus. (That post went quasi-viral via email, with 10,000 or more separate page views to that one blog entry) In this latest buffoonery, Pelosi shows that when the subject makes her botox uncomfortable, her knee-jerk reaction is to lie.

"In that or any other briefing…we were not, and I repeat, were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation techniques were used. What they did tell us is that they had some legislative counsel ... opinions that they could be used," she told reporters today.

Really?

Nancy Pelosi denies knowing U.S. officials used waterboarding — but GOP operatives are pointing to a 2007 Washington Post story which describes an hour-long 2002 briefing in which Pelosi was told about enhanced interrogation techniques in graphic detail.

Two unnamed officials told the paper that Pelosi, then a member of the Democratic minority, didn't raise substantial objections.

It is to our shame that we seem to be cursed with a pathological liar at the helm of our House.

Mr. Obama's decision to release our playbook so that our enemies can study it in detail is typical of his efforts to put politics ahead of our security. And even though the fringe left is ready to go with their "it's Bush's fault" mantra when we are attacked again, the responsibility for that will rest squarely on Mr. Obama generally and the left particularly... or is it the other way around?

Meanwhile, Pelosi and her Winged Monkeys continue to strengthen our enemies in the name of political expediency, making us the laughing stock in circles where it really, really, matters.

At some point, "truth" really does matter.

I, for one, happen to believe that if your intention is to hang Bush Administration corpses from a bridge over the Potomac, which is the primary motivation for all this crap in the first place, then you should be subjected to the same rope for the same reasons.

Of course, there's no way the democrats or anyone else (including the media) would utilize a double standard about something so important...

... is there?

How I see it: Mr. Obama - you'd better be right.

.
By now, the reader probably knows that our President-Elect has chosen someone wholly unqualified to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, former Congressman, White House Chief of Staff, Director of the Office for Civil Rights, and Director of OMB and a variety of other positions that qualify Leon Panetta to be the penultimate bureaucrat... but do absolutely nothing to qualify him to run this country's Intelligence services.

If we sustain an attack on any American assets anywhere outside the current theater of operations, the Obama Administration will be done (and the democrats with him) even BEFORE Obama is indicted.

But let's also be realistic, here. IF Mr. Obama is SUCCESSFUL; if this reorganization actually succeeds; if we can avoid an attack until he's indicted, then the GOP will be in serious, long term and sustained trouble... because the heretofore Empty Suit will have shown he's got the chops to defend this country.

Unfortunately, the leftist hypocrites that tried to sell us a bill of goods with that waste of skin Kerry back in '04 because Kerry's service was so important in this time of war... have conveniently forgotten all about the importance of military experience now... during this war.

Mr. Obama's inexperience will cost this country lives. The only question is how many and where. Mr. Panetta's lack of experience in intelligence, combined with Mr. Obama's kowtowing to the fringe left nutters as he disassembles our successful intelligence apparatus is going to cost us lives... American lives... lives these people are sworn to protect.

I sincerely and seriously hope I'm wrong. I WANT BARACK OBAMA TO SUCCEED.

Because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.
