There's something weird going on here. (NIE release)
It seems weird to me that * and the DNI would release a scrubbed NIE report that STILL SHOWS THAT IRAQ IS WORSE AND WE ARE NO SAFER.

Why would they do that and how bad must the rest of the report be that they have no choice but to release damning information from it?

I'm confused.

5. That's just what I mean...I don't want to hope against hope, but
it's almost as if they know the jig is up and now they are simply delaying the inevitable.

2. Just read their "assertions"
I agree, something is not right here in the "Homeland" even this summarized highlights is damning, what exactly is it that our dear leader sees in this that makes him say that all is well in Iraq and that we're misguided for seeing the terrorist threat increasing rather than decreasing? What the hell does he need, a picture book version?

Speaking of "Homeland", when, pray tell, did this terminology so reminiscent of fascist regimes past become the de-facto term for our country? I remember not once, ever being taught about the Homeland, or that we should defend the Homeland or any other such nonsense. I love my country and will defend her and her Constitution to the death, but the Homeland? I don't think so...

8. Even Norah O'donnell on MSNBC said this report does nothing
to indicate things are improving and that they are in fact getting worse.

9. Everytime I hear them use "Homeland" I see the Nazi mustache
and the Heil salute....

More Americans should be appalled by the use of this term...

He also says that "His Country" as if he owns it, he never says "Our Country".......

Remember everthing he says he means it literally....he believes this is his country to do whatever he wants to it....for his interest....not the American citizen...

3. I agree with you, it smells, and I don't know the answer.
maybe there's enough info already out there (some we may not have even heard yet) that forced their hand?

4. I'm With You, I'm Flabbergasted and Flummoxed That They Released This
It's damning and makes Chimpy out to be a delusional liar.

I guess they think they can just totally spin it and control the media and the message and that people won't read it. :shrug:

6. That was my other thought, that they hope they can spin it to their
advantage with their portable chorus.

10. Full NIE must be REAL POISON. Release of scubbed 3 pages must
be intended to get over the story lest it drag on till leaks of the
real stuff occurs. Leaker apparently did not have access to the
really nasty info.
