How Many Lies will Pelosi Take Before She Gets to the Tootsie Roll Center of a Tootsie Pop or the truth on Waterboarding

The age old question has been, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop. Nancy Pelosi is taking a page from that classic commercial when it comes to telling lies regarding her knowledge of waterbaording. By the way, the answer is three. By the way Nancy, how many lies does it take before you will get to to truth?

How many lies will Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tell this week as to her knowledge of waterboarding and when she knew it. At some point she just needs to come clean, take her medicine and admit the obvious truth. Pelosi has made a non-issue into a 2010 midterm campaign issue. As referenced at Sundries Shack, it would appear that Nancy Pelosi is going for the “Lying hat Trick”. It would appear that Pelosi’s most recent attempt at a fabrication was, that she couldn’t object in 2003.

This woman is second in line of succession to be President

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi learned in early 2003 that the Bush administration was waterboarding terror detainees but didn’t protest directly out of respect for “appropriate” legislative channels, a person familiar with the situation said Monday…

Nancy Pelosi Knew … CIA Says Pelosi Was Briefed on Use of ‘Enhanced Interrogations’ … Water Boarding

Nancy Pelosi: LIAR, LIAR … “I did not have knowledge of waterboarding, not a single time”. Democratic Speaker of the House stood there and wagged her finger at all of us stating that she had no knowledge of water boarding and was not briefed on “enhanced interrogations.” Like another more famous finger wagger before her, maybe she might have wanted to learn something from that mistake. Speaker Pelosi … do you care to clarify your statement?

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive

According to a report prepared by the Director of National Intelligence’s office, Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on terrorist suspect Abu Zubaydah in September 2002.

The report, submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee and other Capitol Hill officials Wednesday, appears to contradict Pelosi’s statement last month that she was never told about the use of waterboarding or other special interrogation tactics. Instead, she has said, she was told only that the Bush administration had legal opinions that would have supported the use of such techniques. The report details a Sept. 4, 2002 meeting between intelligence officials and Pelosi, then-House intelligence committee chairman Porter Goss, and two aides. At the time, Pelosi was the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee.

The meeting is described as a “Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of particular EITs that had been employed.”

So much for this story from Pelosi from Flopping Aces:

“Pelosi: Bush Administration Never Briefed Congress On Waterboarding?” The story was based on Pelosi’s insistence that “We were not — I repeat, we were not — told that water boarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi Sounding Like Bill Clinton … I Did Not Have Knowledge of Waterboarding, Not A Single Time

Speaker Pelosi, Me thinks thou dost protest too much … And you are fabricating having knowledge of waterbaording.

Nancy Pelosi was for knowing about waterboarding before she was against it.

Nancy Pelosi states that she was never advised about waterboarding. Really? What about the 30 meetings and briefings with members of Congress on the subject since 2002 regarding enhanced interrogation techniques? If Democrats were ok with it back then, why now do they have such a problem with waterboarding and want to prosecuting Bush-era lawyers for justifying “enhanced” interrogation techniques? Party politics as usual and more change. Nancy Pelosi is either lying, ignorant, naive or just was not paying attention. Any one of the reasons makes her hardly fit to be Speaker.

The first such briefing dealt with the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, the Al Qaeda operations chief who ran the training camps in Afghanistan where the Sept. 11 hijackers were trained. Sources said California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, now the speaker of the House, attended the meeting with then-Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla. (who later became CIA director), and she did not raise any objections.

The briefings were given to the chairmen and ranking members of the intelligence committees in the House and Senate until 2006. That could cover Sen. John Rockefeller, W.Va., and Rep. Jane Harman, Calif., both Democrats, as well as Sen. Pat Roberts, Kan., Sen. Lindsey Graham, S.C., Sen. Richard Shelby, Ala., and Rep. Pete Hoekstra, Mich., all Republicans.

Notice the Pelosi finger wagging denial, reminds us a bit of another’s denial that would later be proved to be a lie.

As far back as 2002 Nancy Pelosi was was told about enhanced interrogation techniques in graphic detail. From The Washington Post:

In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA’s overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

“The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough,” said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.

Former President Bill Clinton’s finger pointing denial of “not having sex with that woman” looks a bit like Speaker Pelosi’s denial.

Nancy Pelosi … I am not a Left Wing San Francisco Democrat Partisan

I AM NOT A PARTISAN HACK

Who knew Nancy Pelosi was a uniter, not a divider.

I also have never used Botox or abused my position in the use of military aircraft for my person use. As discussed in The Hill, Peolsi believes that it is an unfair and misleading impression of her. As Eat It it or Wear It stated, she actually said this with a “permanently” straight face. Out of curiosity Nancy … what color is the sky and is the moon made out of cream cheese?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is denying Republican claims that she is partisan, saying she has been open to GOP ideas.

Like These People do not have work to do for the “We the People” … Capitol Hill goes gaga over Brad Pitt

A note to Nancy Pelosi and the love sick DC groupies that went gaga for Brad Pitt … the real hero’s and models for our nation serve in our military and make the ultimate sacrifice every day to protect our freedoms.

“We the People” have an economy that is tanking, a stock market that is at a 12 year low and looks to be heading south of 6000,  Blue Chip stocks trading as penny stocks, and a Democratic controlled government that continues to spend, spend and spend in the nail of pork barrel bail outs driving the economy even further into the abyss.   

As We the People see the economy tank, Pelosi and crew yuck it up with the beautiful people

With all this going on and as they claim America near catastrophe some how or another the Capitol and school girl Nancy Pelosi gets all giddy because Brad Pitt came to Capitol Hill. Are you serious? Law makers and their staffs going gaga for Pitt? Isn’t this special, Hollywood stars getting preferential treatment. So much for “We the People,” I guess in DC it just matters who the people are. This is ultimately why there is such a disconnect these days. Politicians have stopped caring about serving the people and care more about who they can get a photo-op next to.

From the moment he stepped into the Capitol on Thursday, sunglassed and goateed, Pitt’s star power transformed congressional business-as-usual in a way any lawmaker or new president might envy.

“Nice face. Waaaay too skinny,” one Senate source e-mailed on condition of anonymity after catching sight of the actor between meetings with lawmakers about helping rebuild New Orleans.
