Fool is the right word.

Here is the part of the Rycroft memo that has the DEMS a'twitter;

Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.

Remember, this is BRIT-speak and the reading of "being fixed around the policy" means only that it was being set in place...i.e to be fixed. Not the suspicious American slang of being rigged.

If you read it again, the Kerry way, it doesn't make sense in that the sentence prior to it states BUSH wanted to remove Saddam through military action...followed by the counter argument "But the intellicence..."

For all of his international nuance, Kerry is a monumental DORK.

That's my take also. "Packaged" or "customized" might even be more precise terms. That the policy was in place changes absolutely nothing regarding the intel, if the intel is/was there. If the intel was shoddy, it takes nothing away from Bush or Blair. Someome questions might be raised regarding the "gathering" of the original intel.

This memo is far from a "gotcha", but it won't stop the MSM from furiously stirring that bucket o' $hit. It's what they do.

I read and re-read the memo and just now realized the 'fixed' Brit word usage business...of course! The DEMS are so fricken stupid...they are self destrucing before our very eyes...

Bring it ON "effin Kerry"...
