How typically dishonest. Dodge my question with yet another cowardly evasion. I dodged nothing. Clapper is the new Schippers. Someone you choose to believe simply because it fits your agenda. General Clapper is obviously someone who never bought your Democrat Talking Point Lie that "Bush lied" about WMD's. He believes Iraq had WMDs, that are now in Syria, shipped there before the war. And there are those who disagree with him. Speaking to reporters in October 2003, Clapper suggested that the illicit weapons had "unquestionably" been moved to Syria: The official, James R. Clapper Jr., a retired lieutenant general, said satellite imagery showing a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria, just before the American invasion in March, led him to believe that illicit weapons material "unquestionably" had been moved out of Iraq. [...] He said he was providing a personal assessment. But he said "the obvious conclusion one draws" was that there "may have been people leaving the scene, fleeing Iraq, and unquestionably, I am sure, material." A spokesman for General Clapper's agency, David Burpee, said he could not provide further evidence to support the general's statement.LINK So Clapper saw a heavy flow of traffic out of Iraq before the invasion and that led him to believe that illicit weapons material "unquestionably" had been moved out of Iraq. No proof of course. The fact that this was just his personal assessment and that his own spokesman said that he could not provide further evidence to support the general's statement I guess is irrelevant to you. Cem: Why would Obama hire someone for such a key position.... Because in your own words, he's a complete and utter failure. I guess he just got this one thing right. ROFL
