Now that Obama is President, it’s OK to acknowledge this.

We lost the Iraq War public relations battle years ago. The public views it as an unnecessary war against a country that didn’t attack us for the sake of destroying weapons that didn’t exist.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Yeah, but it doesn’t matter now — Bush is going home and a Democrat is going to be in the White House.

Another tell all Book:

Operation Hotel California: The Clandestine War Inside Iraq (Hardcover)

Product Description

On July 10, 2002, more than eight months before the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein’s regime, eight American CIA operatives slipped into northern Iraq. They endured almost a year of being denied vital supplies by a NATO ally, Turkey, as they pursued a covert operation with profound consequences for both the War on Terror and the Iraq War: Operation Hotel California.

 Operation Hotel California tells the inside story of the dangerous mission that paved the way for the Iraq invasion—and delivers the most blistering indictment to date by any American counterterrorism officer of the Bush administration’s blunders vis-à-vis Iraq and al Qaeda. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Charles Faddis, the operation’s leader, and other team members, Operation Hotel California is a riveting work that will shake Washington to the core.

True.

Bush may have had many flaws: But I can NEVER forgive him for his absolutely insane/inane/inept “get out the message” methods.

He “may” have been saying this TO the media in various WH press conferences and interviews, but he forgot that that THEY refused to pass his message along, and instead, passed along tens of thousands of sound bites of of his ENEMY'S message.

And Bush never figured out he was losing the propaganda battle. hence, McCain too failed to get the message THROUGH his enemies. But then again, McCainenver had a chance after 8 years of Bush's failure.

Too tenuous to change anyones mind who buys into the “Bush lied” mantra. History will prove it was the right move, and this is just a non-starter in the present climate.

[fortunecookie]

Yes, I imagine they’ll even take credit. The retort will become ‘And Bush knew about this?’ I sense some spin coming our way.

[woofie]

bump for later

[americanophile]

Agreed. The Bush Administration’s inability to communicate is their single biggest failing if you ask me.

[NordP]

God Bless those VERY VERY brave agents who went in and got this info for us. Remarkable!

[kabar]

So what's the big deal? This is old news. The following was included in the text of the Joint Resolution passed by Congress as one of the 23 reasons that authorized us to invade Iraq:

Whereas members of al-Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;

[realcleanguy]

If McCain had won, the press would never have released this story

[aWolverine]

Yes, I imagine they’ll even take credit. The retort will become ‘And Bush knew about this?’ I sense some spin coming our way.

I am seriously considering taking up Esperato, simply because I cannot bear to watch the slaughter of English on the scale this administration is going to inflict on the Anglo-speaking world. I be feared.

[ScaniaBoy]

It is never too late. There will be other elections, and the truth will force Nobama to reassess his policies.

[MaxMax]

The stand up argument will be, "Well, they were in America too, so why
didn't we attack ourselves blah blah blah.

[SuziQ]

Bump for Fri. reading

[aWolverine]

If McCain had won, the press would never have released this story

Sure they would have:
"McCain Exposed! Complicit in Bush Iraq Al Queda cover-up"

[Marauder]

This will make as much difference as the revelation of the huge cache of yellowcake uranium they found and shipped to Canada. The MSM - in the barrel for Ubama - won’t mention it for fear of improving Bush’s ratings before he leaves office.
