[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][b]Which means that you have seen for yourself that the editing was done before the talk show circuit and what was said by Obama and Rice were planned talking points.

You're just choosing to ignore that because you don't want to admit Obama and Rice lied. Obama said himself that he avoided saying terrorist attack in the rose garden.

You think it doesn't make a different, that it's semantics. Have at it. [/quote]

Eureka! You have just discovered the obvious. Yes, Rice spoke based on talking points. That's why they are called "talking points". Are you also aware that the President's speeches are written in advance? Also, when a Senator offers prepared remarks, those remarks are actually prepared in advance. Fascinating times in which we live.

Obama's Letterman statements and Rice's were talking points. We were lied to. Yes, that's obvious.

Your point about the speeches? What does that have to do with the price of apples? I would hope that a President would not deliver a speech based on old new when he knew that was old news?[/quote]

If you agree that Obama and Rice were speaking from talking points, then you can't accuse them of lying. The talking points reflected the combine opinions of several government departments, but primarily CIA and State. The CIA and State told Obama and Rice what to say. If the information was wrong -- which it was -- then Obama and Rice repeated wrong information. But, that is not lying. That is simply saying something that you didn't know was false.

The point about speeches is that you seemed shocked that people speak based on talking points. I assumed that you were also unaware that presidential speeches are written beforehand.
