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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

What matters most is alQaeda is in Iraq now. We know where to find them. We are killing them and stacking the bodies up like cordwood.

Wasn't 2002 the year Rockefeller visited Syria, and Joe Wilson was sent on his yellowcake cover-up trip?

I remember that Rummy was the most hated Bush administration official in WDC, because of his ‘bottom up review’ of the Pentagon. I also remember the ‘wall builder’ Gorelick began her craft in the Pentagon.

I also remember year in and year out the liberal liars kept accusing President Bush of being the most secretive administration in history. And the Rockefeller memo in methods of getting to that information.

Given who buried themselves into ‘civil’ service of government from the Clintons, President Bush had very few options. He sure could not have fired them all, else these liberals would have had grounds to hang him at high noon.
