What can you say about The Center for American Progress.¬† While touting themselves as “bi-partisen” they are in fact THE most partisen group in existance.¬† Founded by former Clinton hack John Podesta – who by the way during questioning a numerous congressional inquiries during Clinton’s reign said “I don’t know”, “can’t remember”, an astounding 264 times.¬† So consider the source.¬† Once a liar?…
Today his leftist center released it’s “Third Semi-annual, Nonpartisan Survey of Foreign Policy Experts“.¬†¬† Of course the results are predictable as usual.¬†¬† The world is not safer, the terrorists are winning, blah, blah, blah.¬†¬† Who are these experts?¬†¬† Drumroll please…

Holy crap! It sounds like a Kos Convention for George Soros. ¬† You should have bailed on the Albright, for me that’s a deal buster.¬† No doubt Podesta – like a lot of the left – know that the surge is working and have to throw this garbage out, but even reading through some of the reasoning and methodology you have to ask what they be smoking.
