We’ve all waited 4 years to see a good report on what happened to Saddam’s WMD and September 8, 2006 the last investigative report was released by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. The only problem is…I searched the entire 400 pages of this “Phase II report” (or rather both reports that make up the Phase II report) and I couldn’t find those two words: “Bush lied.” I can’t even find, “Bush mislead” in those 400 pages. What I did find was 400 pages of evidence showing that the intelligence community used small amounts of weak intelligence from a decrepit litany of agencies and then poorly communicated that to policy makers (Bush Administration, Democrats who ran the Senate and Republicans who ran the House).
I searched the British Butler Report and their Hutton inquiry and neither stated that President Bush lied or mislead anyone. Australian Parliamentary investigations (bi-partisan and independent) failed to say President Bush lied or mislead anyone. The Independent and bi-partisan WMD Commission didn’t say it either. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s “Phase I” report didn’t say the President lied or mislead either.
In reading and re-reading all of the thousands of pages in these bi-partisan reports I have never once seen the words, “President Bush lied” or “President Bush mislead.” I’ve never seen, “President Bush pressured analysts” or “President Bush manipulated intelligence.”

bump the truth
Is anyone surprized by this? Any Freepers that is. Well I for one am very glad we finally have a WOT, I have been waiting for this since I was 15 years old and saw the hostage crisis and a host of other attacks like the Navy man being killed and thrown onto the tarmack. Attacks happen on our people everyday. The ones by Islamics are particularly bad because they are an attempt to control our policy. We need to get this under control. Then we can go after S America....
TRUTH BUMP
Excellent series bump
