This is just another venue for political payback, and nothing more.

What isn't these days?

After our nation was attacked on 911 it would have been the HEIGHT of STUPIDITY for ANY POTUS to IGNORE 12 years of data that showed an enemy was HIDING WMD, an enemy that USED WMD in the past against [IRAN] and it's OWN PEOPLE and who was at the time ACTIVELY supporting TERRORISM with 25k payments to the families of suicide bombers and who tried to assassinate a former President of the United States and lastly a nation who for 12 years systematically violated the Articles of Surrenders from GW I.

The MSM uses hindsight [of mistakes made by Republicans] as though every member of the GOP was born with the ability to see the FUTURE!!

Jeez, sounds like Rummy & co. did the right thing. All we heard about in the 9-11 Omission hearings was about stovepiped and "fixed" - fixed, mind you¹ - intelligence. So what was the Omission's recommendation? Glom it all together so only one opinion could emerge, who cares if it's right. Can't buck the consensus, don'tcha know. If 2,500 scientists say global warming is man-made, who are you to try and independently confirm that?

¹ Interesting how Kerry made such a big stink about using the Downing Street Memo to slam GBW about fixing (as in American English - tampering with) intel until someone explained to him that the Brits use that word differently. Somehow that warning penetrated the hat and Kerry wisely decided to let it fade down the memory hole.

That's all they need to see.

Democrat politicians and leftist pundits have "settled" the issue of whether or not there were any "connections" or "operational cooperation" between Saddam's regime and Osama's Al Qaida long ago... before the 2000 election that put those scheming warmongers the Neo-Cons in power. They decided that there were such connections, thus we had the "Regime Change Resolution of 1998" due to the potential of a WMD possessing state cooperation and the already accepted ongoing threat posed by the Iraqi regime itself.

All that changed in 2000 with the election of George Bush. Suddenly, none of what was accepted earlier... mattered at all. Now, all these politicians and pundits are "... have always been against this illegal and unnecessary war of choice", even though in print and on audio/video tape they said quite the opposite... back then, before the election of 2000.

Folks, what we have here is real evidence of the reality of "Time Travel", as it is clear that reps or operatives of said Democrats have gone back in time and altered the historical record... or at least told their clients that the did. Clue to Democrats: "YOU CAN'T REALLY CHANGE HISTORY". But you can fool a bunch of people(voters) and even yourself into thinking that you have.

A good post by the Capt'n on Feith and the report by the Inspector General of DoD. However note that Michelle Malkin writes that WaPo has had to back track on the original AP story - they quoted the wrong document! LOL!

The reason for pinging you, though, are the many excellent links on AQ/Iraq connections found in the comments section on Ed Morrissey's story.

Saddam was so secular he wrote the Koran in his own blood. It took him three years.

"alternative" views and noble "dissents" are only permitted for left-wing morons, or don't you people understand that yet? :^(

The left thinks a "vigorous exchange of ideas" means forcing far-left babble upon everyone else. Anyone who dares to question scumbags like Carl Levin, Jay Rockefeller, and their counterparts in the intel agencies is a dangerous "inappropriate" threat to the moronic leftist consensus.....
