What other nation in history has obsessively investigated itself during time of war? When are we going to quit beating ourselves up and move down the road?
Just a few weeks ago, we were treated to Phase 2 of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report analyzing our failures of prewar intelligence for the millionth time. The Committee -- with a nominal majority of Republicans and a working majority of antiwar members -- reported that the administration had been wrong in alleging a relationship between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
As Republican Chairman Pat Roberts made clear, the working majority cherry picked the evidence to conclude there was no relationship when the weight of the evidence indicated there was -- going back 10 years, no less. Condoleezza Rice confirmed that there were always dissenting opinions, but that the prevailing view among our intelligence agencies was that there was indeed a relationship.
The committee demonstrated its absurdity elsewhere, too, when it concluded, preposterously, that Saddam didn't consider the United States an enemy because he said so during his debriefing. The committee chose to believe that obvious lie from a lying, murderous tyrant over his consistently contradictory statements and behavior over the previous decade.

They need a reason?
Nope! Not that I'm aware of.
I do not care how many so called investigations they do up there on the hill, I do not believe this, not no way, and no how!
It's like high school. The dweebs and losers always hate the cool kids.
Ole hamhead said they have to hate us.
Very simple. They hate us because we don't believe in Allah.
"Democrats have been telling us nonstop that President Bush's policies -- his alleged unilateralism in general, and his attack on Iraq specifically -- have caused an otherwise loving enemy to hate and wage war against us. If that's true -- which it isn't -- how much more true is it that the feelings of the Muslim world (and the European left) toward the United States have deteriorated as a direct result of the Democrats' constant lies about President Bush?
If they truly believe our policies have intensified the hatred of Islamic extremists toward the United States, then why don't they quit telling the world -- when they know better -- that President Bush lied about Iraqi WMD and about Saddam's relationship with Al Qaeda? Why don't they quit falsely charging that it is the covert policy of this administration to torture enemy combatant detainees at Gitmo? Why don't they quit saying that President Bush attacked Iraq for its oil?"
Stupid question. Terrorists are all about hate, anyway.. If we understood their hate we could manipulate it and use it to our advantage.
The devil, and I'm not talking about George W. Bush Hugo you punk!
Ok, well, I didn't want to have to say this, but...well, it's my ex-wife. She did it.
They hate our freedom.
Tolerance is a Western ideal, and the Islamists hate Western ideals.
Islam doesn't seek multiculturalism.
Their goal is monoculturalism: one world under Islam.
They are not at war for tolerance, but at war with tolerance.
Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
