Last week (which I didn't get to see) Biden and Wallace got in a "yes he did, no he didn't" disagreement as to whether Cheney ever used the word "imminent" in describing Saddam as a threat. That then apparently drew a lot of viewer mail. FNS also asked Biden to provide any evidence of Cheney using the word "imminent" and Biden's office provided some really lame video of a Cheney speech in Aug 2002 where he nowhere used the word imminent (I say lame in reference to the attempt Biden made, not Cheney's actual comments which were truly accurate and not overblown rhetoric). Wallace introduced the Biden-supplied video with a very nice "told-you-so" smirk.
==================================
THIS, with excerpt below is ridden with rationalizing and scapegoating, but clarifies the contemptuous and shameful job our elected officials did that they don't want us to remember and for which we continually need to hold them to account. Dontcha just love it when the Dims whine, "he saw intelligence we didn't see ..??" DUH .. HE'S THE PRESIDENT AND YOU'RE NOT.
=========================================
"But Bush does not share his most sensitive intelligence, such as the President's Daily Brief, with lawmakers. Also, the National Intelligence Estimate summarizing the intelligence community's views about the threat from Iraq was given to Congress just days before the vote to authorize the use of force in that country.
In addition, there were doubts within the intelligence community not included in the NIE. And even the doubts expressed in the NIE could not be used publicly by members of Congress because the classified information had not been cleared for release. For example, the NIE view that Hussein would not use weapons of mass destruction against the United States or turn them over to terrorists unless backed into a corner was cleared for public use only a day before the Senate vote.
The lawmakers are partly ((((?????))))) to blame for their ignorance. Congress was entitled to view the 92-page National Intelligence Estimate about Iraq before the October 2002 vote. But, as The Washington Post reported last year, no more than six senators and a handful of House members read beyond the five-page executive summary."
