Thread: WHITE HOUSE: Americans "say" on the Iraq War ended in 2004

White House Press Secretary Perino: Americans' say in Iraq war ended in 2004

At a White House press briefing today, Press Secretary Dana Perino effectively tells veteran correspondent Helen Thomas that the American people's say in the Iraq occupation ended after the 2004 election. "The American people are being asked to die and pay for this," probes Thomas. "And you're saying they have no say in this war?"
"No," Perino responds, "I didn't say that, Helen. But, Helen, this president was elected--"
Thomas interrupts: "But it amounts to it. You're saying we have no input at all."
"You had input," Perino says. "The American people have input every four years and that's the way our system is set up."
Perino's statement comes on the heels of a direct assertion by Vice President Dick Cheney that he doesn't care about public input on Iraq.

This is the Dept. of Homeland Security. Please refrain from engaging in any Unamerican language. Please report any fellow citizens who may do so.

God bless America.

Thank you.

They're not even trying anymore. Another month she'll be phoning this stuff in.
