Ooh, they’ve opened a snazzy new White House briefing room. You can see it on C-SPAN3, where Tony Snow is giddy showing off the new digs. The place will be instantly sullied by more bullshit evasion and downright lies.
I’m sad because I’ve been in the old White House briefing room and I could always kind of picture the scene while watching briefings. Now I have no idea where they are.
Tony Snow is lying right out of the gate. No surprise.
Snow says we have a new strategy for Iraq and it is two weeks old. (It’s called the surge).
Snow says that Lugar sees progress in Iraq but is worried about progress here at home. That’s a lie.
I guess the old room was so clogged with Bushit they no longer had room to maneuver.
Snow: victory is victory over al-qaeda.
Snow: Americans don’t want terrorists on their doorstep and if you think that picking up and leaving will make us more safe you’re wrong. That’s the opinion of everyone in the intelligence community.
Snow: Zarqawi had a vigorous correspondence with Zawahiri.
Oh, man, that one won’t die.
What do you think Cheney feeds Zawahiri between takes?

Sorry, no oil along Afghan-Pakistan border. That’s why we’re fighting the ‘terrorists’ in Baghdad and Iraq to protect the American people.
Other American counterterrorism officials expressed similar concerns, saying that Al Qaeda and like-minded groups have recently been able to plot and train more freely in the tribal areas along the Afghan-Pakistani border, where Osama bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, are believed to be hiding.

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."Apparently this is a refurbished room and not an entirely new location. Perhaps your recollections will be of some guidance, BooMan.
BTW, the renovation took some 11 months during which time our soldiers in Iraq went without needed armor and properly armored vehicles. But at least the White House reporters will be comfortable as they feed us the latest Bushco spin.
And the costs sound like they’re in the $20 million-dollar range, if not more.
The new room probably has a low hum that carries the only subconsciously detectable repeated phrase, “You will believe us. You will believe us. ;-p”
