McClellan about ready to explode

First Draft reports on this incredible gaggle:

First, Scottie plays dumb.
Q Scott, why did the administration feel it was necessary to coach the soldiers that the President talked to this morning in Iraq?
MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry, I don't know what you're suggesting.

---

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, Helen, the President recognizes that we are engaged in a global war on terrorism. And when you're engaged in a war, it's not always pleasant, and it's certainly a last resort. But when you engage in a war, you take the fight to the enemy, you go on the offense. And that's exactly what we are doing. We are fighting them there so that we don't have to fight them here. September 11th taught us --

Q It has nothing to do with -- Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, you have a very different view of the war on terrorism, and I'm sure you're opposed to the broader war on terrorism. The President recognizes this requires a comprehensive strategy, and that this is a broad war, that it is not a law enforcement matter.

Terry Moran comes to Helen's defense.

Q On what basis do you say Helen is opposed to the broader war on terrorism?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, she certainly expressed her concerns about Afghanistan and Iraq and going into those two countries. I think I can go back and pull up her comments over the course of the past couple of years.

Q And speak for her, which is odd.

MR. McCLELLAN: No, I said she may be, because certainly if you look at her comments over the course of the past couple of years, she's expressed her concerns --
Q I'm opposed to preemptive war, unprovoked preemptive war.

MR. McCLELLAN: -- she's expressed her concerns.

---

MR. McCLELLAN: ... Just three years ago, the Iraqi people were under a brutal, oppressive dictator, a dictator that killed thousands and thousands of people.

Q How many have we killed?

MR. McCLELLAN: We've liberated 25 million, both in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

Q How many have we killed?

---

Q Scott, earlier you defined total victory in Iraq as a free and democratic Iraq. Is Iraq now not free and democratic?
MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry?
Q Is Iraq now not free and democratic?
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think you know what I'm talking about there. I'm talking about a free and democratic Iraq that is able to defend itself. That's what we're working to accomplish in Iraq.

I honestly don't know how this guy does it! It is an art form to be able to quote so many talking points in an answer, even if it has nothing whatsoever to do with the question! And to be able to feign total ignorance!
The first quote is just funny, but the second one, where he goes into talking-points-overtime, I truly believed to be a satire when I first read it elsewhere! And then he goes on to slander Helen Thomas for simply pointing out the truth, that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
But that doesn't stop her from coming back with yet another valid point - how many have we killed in comparison to Husseim? Of course, he doesn't answer that and falls back on his ridiculous talking points. If what I see in the news is "liberation", I know that I, for one, would rather not be liberated!
And one final joke - he has to continue to mold his what-we-are-accomplishing talking point.
Man, what kind of job is this guy gonna get after this? "What's your previous experience?""Well, i can lie, deflect questions, and babble total nonsense without even thinking about it!"
