What is the advantage to keep this quiet? All these answers are stretches.
Anyone think it’s odd this all comes out just now as Obama beats the war drums for Iraq war III?
Yes, those answers are mere suppositions. However, there is a reason. The answer could be as simple as “Pres Bush hated arguing with people.” I hope it’s much more sinister than that. If that’s it, then that means Pres. Bush was totally naïve, and I just don’t see evidence for that.
I think the NYT is absolutely using this as a justification for beating the drums for war. The NYT isn’t anti-war; they’re anti-the-wars-they-don’t-like, and pro-the-wars-they-do-like.
Yep. “Bush lied. There ARE WMDs there so now I, Barrack Hussein Obama, must reluctantly send in our troops to fix what Bush screwed up.”
