WTF Is It Now?!?

Isn't it supposed to be Spring?
It's another beautiful snowy day in Upper Freedonia.




Bush WH ignored doubts on Iraqi arms
'In the two years before the war on Iraq, US intelligence agencies dismissed reports from Iraqi scientists, defectors and other informants who said Saddam Hussein did not possess illicit weapons, officials say.

'Indications are emerging from the panel's inquiry into prewar intelligence that the reports, which ran contrary to the conclusions of the intelligence agencies and the Bush Administration, were not acknowledged publicly by top government officials before the invasion last March.

'The agencies and the Administration cited only informants who supported the view that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, a main justification for going to war.'

How Europe sees Bush
"It is hard to overstate the contempt with which Bush is viewed in some circles in Europe," reports Business Day. "He is regularly portrayed as irrationally belligerent, disdainful of allies, in thrall to special interests and rather stupid.

"French President Jacques Chirac knows relations with Washington will not really improve until there is a new administration in the White House. Meantime, Bush's chumminess with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder last week seemed rather strained. Even Britain's Tony Blair is aware it would be easier for him if Bush were removed by the US electorate before Blair's own voters punish him for being too close. They may hope a demonstration of the US's functioning democracy will counter the simplistic anti-Americanism prevalent in Europe. While it may not have functioned perfectly in 2000, it now has a chance to rectify the error."
