Who’s lying?

Is it the House Misspeaker Nancy Pelosi or the CIA, the gang that can’t ever seem to get its story straight? At this hour, Instapundit readers are voting Nancy. Alas, there is no category for both. Let the show trials begin!

Osama bin dead?

No, tell me it ain’t so. Surely not. I mean the gang that couldn’t predict the collapse of the Soviet Union (not to mention lately asserting, counterintuitively, that Iran is NOT building an A bomb) surely knows whether the world’s chief terrorist died at Tora Bora or not? Or have they just denied it all this time to make Bush look bad? And now wish to help their anti-war buds of the Dems make their case for election? That sounds more reasonable, for them, anyhow, rather than just more of their usual schtoopidty.

What the CIA missed (no surprise)

Why the O man’s "new" video could be a forgery. Tricked up with "freeze framing":

"All references to current events, such as the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan, and Sarkozy and Brown being the leaders of France and the UK, respectively, occur when the video is frozen!"

So, uh, maybe, the dark beard is neither phony nor dyed. But just, uh, you know, old.

Osama bin hilarious

What a joker, that O man, or whatever character is playing him in the latest video. Million laughs transcript here. He wants us all to convert to Islam, so we won’t be burdened with taxes and, especially, interest-bearing mortgages. Notice how he seems to have grown younger. Could he be dyeing his beard? It’s dark now, and it used to be gray. Shocking infidel behavior. The CIA is convinced it’s the real Osama. Big whoop. They were convinced the Soviet Union would be around for another hundred years, and 9/11 would be just another day.

UPDATE: Looks like even the conservatives are buying it, after a fashion, unveiling me as a 12th tier blogger. But that’s no surprise, right? So, the O man, they say, is alive (somewhere) and wearing a fake beard to keep the troops happy. Or something like that. But Roger L. Simon ain’t buying it.

The gang that can’t think straight

The porous CIA, the gang that can’t think straight, either is handing out secrets to their favorite reporters to make political hay, or this is a lie. Either way, it may get some Americans killed, as the outraged commenters note. ABC news, of course, couldn’t care less, so long as it can sell advertising.

UPDATE  Power Line, which I see the Left likes to call "Power Tool," thinks Bush could have had this "leak" made on purpose, for his own reasons, but Republican prez candidate Romney is incensed.
