One of the dumbest episodes ever was taking back the reference to the ‘yellow cake’.
The facts were on President Bush’s side and why he took back that reference is inexplicable.
Not having all the facts because it had not come from US intelligence services, he was likely unwilling to get deeper into the issue.
Rove is right and freepers ranted on this for year. Not just the WMD’s, but about everything. The Bush administration’s rope-a-dope policy was all dope and no rope.
The yellow cake, the al qaeda delivery system, the recipe for wmd’s, the presence of all kinds of old war materiel, the movement of wmd’s elsewhere....you name it, they could have thrown it into the faces of the media and the democrats (repeating myself there) and they would have retained a huge portion of their support.
Instead they did nothing.
You’re rigt Karl. That wasn’t strategery at its best.
