To conceal our intentions.
Everyone knows what Bush intends to do (aside from specifics)!
To conceal our intentions.
Oh that's rich! To conceal our intentions?!? You must not have been paying attention over the past year. Bush Jr. has had a woody for Saddam ever since he got into office, everyone knows it.
Now they are leaking BS reports of collaboration between Atta and Saddam as justification. And they don't leak to the washington post or nytime who might actyually investigate and gather background. No, they leak so some third-world italian rag and the leaker is not a top-level official but several levels down on the totem pole. That way they have some plausible deniablity if anyone comes up with proof that Atta was never in Iraq.
I agree with all here that this is a tried and true tractic, but I disagree with anyone who finds this report credible. It is fun to watch, but only because most of you suckers that think you are so politically sophisticated just eat this up. Some here obviously have a clue, but most clearly don't.
