Lies!

The biggest lie of all? Iraq doesn't even exist. The entire war has been acted out and filmed in Utah.

Surely there will be someone to say that they were honest mistakes, made with best intentions in mind . White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a threat.

"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.

Sadly, this has already happened.

well, the rest of the world was pretty sure...

The fact remains, Hussein had to go. After he went, we needed to go, also.

Any other manager besides Clinton would have been fired for boinking the hired help.

I've never read a word about Eisenhower, LBJ or Nixon poking the help on the job. Kennedy was dead before it was really known.

I didn't include Nixon as a staff schtupper- your mistake.

L.B.J. had the help on his desk- in the Oval Office, no less. Power is such an aphrodisiac apparently.

As for Saint Ike of the Golf Course- Kay Summersby wrote a book recounting their intimate relationship.

"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said. If this were true, it wouldn't say much for either their judgment or collective intelligence quotients.


I'm reading Bob Woodward's 'State of Denial II' which is quite an eye-opener on the unjoined-up thinking in the Bush administration in the runup to the war with Iraq.

The ends do not justify these means.

I'm not really sure that the Iraq has WMD memo was a lie perpetuated by the Bush admin at least given the fact it preceded thier time in office. You can hang it on the incompetents at the CIA though probably the Church Committee and the limits it placed on the use of human intelligence as well. IIRC the CIA was prompted by the State Dept to find something to justify action against Iraq.
