Swiftboating begins...

Won't link to the Faux story, but...

"Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told Sean Hannity tonight that the Obama Administration drafted a memo to protect the president from blame if the mission to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden would have failed. That way Obama could blame the general instead of taking the blame himself. Mukasey wrote about it this week in The Wall Street Journal."

This is how this shit starts. The asshats in the media will say..."well, this is a former Attorney General...we better take him seriously".

Funny thing is, this is a "memo" that has already been made public.

You'd have to be able to contort to where you could shove your head up your ass, while simultaneously giving yourself head to read that memo and come up with Mukasey's interpretation, but it doesn't matter, because afterall, he's a former Attorney General.

I don't know what's worse, that this ass-pickle thinks the American people are dumber than dirt, or that they think they can "swiftboat" and get away with it....errrr, wait!

This has gotten the Freepers so inflamed that one actually posted this: "IF this can be verified and the memo is released, that’s the election. It’s over. IF ...."

HEY SHIT-STAIN....THE EFFING MEMO WAS RELEASED BY THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

they made a guy who spent the Vietnam War defending the Floribama Bar into a hero, while the guy with medals for courage, bravery and wounds in combat was turned into a "traitor".

Why wouldn't they pull this shit again?

It's May.

Bin Laden's dead.

The election won't be for 5 months.

This sounds like red meat to keep the Fox News viewers awake and tuned in (slightly difficult with their demographic).

Nowhere in the memo does it say anything about the general being 100% responsible for the operation. In fact, it specificially states that in case of additional risks, the president should be notified. I guess by additional risks, the president could have meant intervention by the ISI or Pakistani Taliban.

The former Attorney General and the conservative movement has reading comprehension problems. They're like turds in the toilet- full of shit!
