Joe Klein Calls Bush’s Response To NIE ‘An Amazing Moment Of Candor By The US.’


Thinkprogress:


This week Joe Klein authors Time’s front cover story on Iran, titled, “Iran’s Nukes: Now They Tell Us,” in reference to the recent intelligence revelations that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.
Today on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Klein cheered President Bush’s response to the NIE, stating that it was “an amazing moment of candor by the United States”:
The Bush reaction to this — he didn’t try to block it. He didn’t try to postpone it. He didn’t spend weeks, he didn’t ask the intelligence community ‘give me a couple of weeks, let’s see if we can figure out some kind of negotiating initiative or some way to respond to this.’ He didn’t try to spin it to our advantage. This is an amazing moment of candor by the United States.

Yes for Joe Klein it's hard out there for a pimp who works for the White House. Now we heard the President out right lie but Joe calls it candor. Tell me Joe Klein isn't paid for as I know he's not stupid. Amazing moment of lying to the USA and the World is now a moment of candor. The real deal is Israel wanted the US to bomb Iran for them now looks like it wont happen. The Jewish people have worked hard to get a puppet in the White House so they could steal the Palestinians land but it didn't happen.
