The Gotcha That Wasn’t

* Posted by Lord Bitememan on July 14th, 2009

Sometime last week everyone in America heard a loud splatting sound. The sound, of course, was a certain joy that was produced (use your shameful imagination) by Democrats upon Leon Panetta’s admission that the previous administration had considered a secret on again off again program of some sort. Dems couldn’t contain themselves because it seemed to confirm that embattled Speaker Nancy Pelosi wasn’t a total lying shrew when she claimed that the CIA kept her in the dark on water boarding. Everyone carped all week long about this secret CIA program, which was reported to have limited success and which we were totally in the dark on. Indeed, we were kept in the dark on it for a whole week. What could it be? Were we being spied on? Was d**k Cheney rounding up newborns and draining them of blood in a failed attempt to transition from Dracula to human? Nope, turns out they were just trying to find a way to kill Bin Laden. The program centered around training paramilitary groups to infiltrate enemy territories undetected for targeted assassinations against high value targets. The “limited successes” were due to insurmountable logistical difficulties in the program. The program was ultimately rendered obsolete by the widespread use of predator drones in that role.

So thank you Nancy & Co. You’ve distracted us for a week from your bald-faced CYA lie with the shocking revelation that the CIA was trying to kill Osama bin Laden. What a pathetic crop of putzes that now occupy the majority in Congress.
