Das Octopusfrau Michele Bachmann Retracts Her Embarassing Iran/Iraq Conspiracy Theory

[Ian David]

In a recent interview, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) claimed that she knows of a secret plan by Iran to partition Iraq and turn half of the country into a “terrorist safe haven zone” called the “Iraq State of Islam.” Bachmann, who famously refused to let go of President Bush at the State of the Union, claimed there is “already an agreement made,” but she “did not say how she knew about this plan, nor with whom Iran has made this deal.”

ThinkProgress contacted Bachmann about her remarks, and received a statement from her office stating that coverage of her Iran statement was “misconstrued.” Bachmann claims she was actually talking about widely-discussed plans to partition Iraq among the Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds, and her fear that Iran would overtake the Shiite region.

Bachmann is no stranger to conspiracy theories. She continues to insist that there is a link between the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Iraq, despite the 9/11 Commission’s conclusion that there was “no credible evidence” of any connection.

1. Remember, the good folks here at DU were wary from the onset.

Can we say "PsyOps Directed Disinformation" Ms. Bachman?

No Tin Foil Hat here - just the whorish BIMBO representative irresponsibly spreading rumors for their masters within the USA's Military Industrial Complex.

In the 1930s Bachman would a good little German who is dating Goebbels, i.e., cooperating with the political intelligence jokers within the bowels of The Pentagon ... perhaps unwittingly, but the effect's the same. :wow:

5. Octopusfrau?

We attack people by coming up with faux-German words to apply to them?

6. Because she's a crazy Nazi chick who wrapped her tentacles around Bush and wouldn't let go.

It was either that or "Das Sliderfrua," because Der Chimpenfuhrer gets her so excited, that she slides out of her seat.

But I thought that was kinda gross.

10. It's not the octopus part I was remarking on

I was pointing to the use of a made-up Germanlike title as an insult.

It's the German part that offends me. It has become very common to do this on DU, and it's childish and offensive.

9. oh, she is the who was clinging to Bush at SOTU address. ah....

Bachmann, who famously refused to let go of President Bush at the State of the Union, claimed there is “already an agreement made,” but she “did not say how she knew about this plan, nor with whom Iran has made this deal.”
