Once a Clinton stooge, always a Clinton stooge.
On ABC’s ,This Week, George Stephanopoulos, got bamboozled by an idiot, John Murtha. video here. [1] Hint George, the Nine-Eleven hijacker came from Saudi Arabia.
Noel Sheppard, NewsBusters [2], elaboratesL
Sadly, Stephanopoulos didn’t challenge Murtha about al Qaeda having a training facility in Northern Iraq before the March 2003 invasion. Nor did he ask the Congressman about 9/11 attackers hailing from Saudi Arabia. And, there was no mention of the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole, or the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998, or the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, or the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
As does, Allahpundit, Hot Air [3]:
Never mind that FBI wiretaps caught Russell Defreitas, the lead suspect, complaining about Israel’s war with Hezbollah [4], not Iraq. Never mind that Gadahn went out of his way in his latest tape [5] to deny that the war in Iraq plays any central role in jihadist grievances (“[L]et us be clear. A pull-out from Iraq alone in the absence of compliance with the remainder of our legitimate demands will get you nowhere and will not save you from our strikes.”). And never mind that the 9/11 plot which Murtha claims came “from Afghanistan” didn’t involve any actual people who were, you know, from Afghanistan.
Is asking too much for a weekend news show host to be smarter than a dotard? Evidently.
