Intelligence vacuum leaves misadministration grasping
From Georgie Anne Geyer's column:

The "intelligence scandal" in the administration over who knew what, when, where, how and why about Iraq is just not going away. Despite all the attempts of the White House and the Pentagon to capture the sinuous rumors in flight these last weeks, the scandal gains geopolitical altitude every day.

This week, pResident Bush was still insisting that there was - or had been - or perhaps had been planned, sometime - a program of weapons of mass destruction in Saddam's savage Iraq.

"I'm absolutely convinced that over time we will find that there WAS a program," he said. Then he added the usual demurrers: that "the world is more peaceful" after the American invasion and that "the Iraqi people are more free."

[Ed. note: We KNOW he had a program, so quit trying to jerk us around. What he DIDN'T have was the actual weaponry or the means to deliver them to the US. Liar.]

Can anyone look at even this thumbnail sketch of all that has happened and truly believe that some officials did not "cook the books" for their own agendas?


Soldiers died.
