Shocking. You mean that the US had more than one reason for its foreign policy to be focused on taking Saddam out? I thought Bush could only handle one idea at a time.

We had a deal with the Saudi's, we were going to remove Saddam come hell or high water. They couldn't deal with their radical problem until our troops were gone. We could not go until Saddam was out. Has anyone noticed the crackdown going on in Saudia Arabia? All part of what I call The Crawford Plan. Remember when the Saudi prince went to Crawford?

That I do.
And I can go with your idea.
It's the domino theory in reverse.

I am surely glad we have some conservative media which points out the truth and doesn't let the liberals get away with all their lies.

Further evidence that makes a lie of the principle that humanists ("Leftists") can make up their own ethics. They have no need for the Creator God of the universe, and His moral absolutes. The humanists make them up as they go. "Leftism" and "humanism" are close allies, if not one in the same. And their ethic in this case is say or do what ever it takes to advance your agenda...certainly, don't let the facts get in the way of your reporting!
To: Pokey78
Excellent article and I am so glad they caught this... Going to bookmark this one, I just know the twisted statement is going to get thrown at us for the next couple of years :-(

What gives with this Vanity Fair interview, then? I think we all could take a guess and probably be right

This appears to be an attempt by VF to gin up publicity for the issue, by creating controversy and as an added bonus,damaging the Bush Administration in the process. It appears to be more important to attempt to tarnish the war effort,than it is to be honest and forthright in their reporting.No technique is too shabby for contemporary journalists.Any takers on which version Maureen Dowd uses in her next piece?
To: Pokey78
Great article! Spells it out, no wiggle room provided. Busted!
A fitting epitaph for Vanity Fair.

Vanity Fair, can now be added to the list of liars that includes CNN, the New York Times and the L.A. Times.No.
This was a misdeed by a reporter. The problems at the NYT also started with misdeeds by reporters, but if the editors had done their jobs, it would not have exploded into a scandal. Likewise, the problem at CNN and the LAT are editor-level problems: the news editors at CNN are biased, and the LAT editors swoon for Robert Scheer.
It depends how Vanity Fair handles this. If it publishes a full correction and an apology, it should not be added to the list of liars. The specific reporter in question should be, but not the magazine.
