"This is great, but the problem is with Bush. Why does the White House remain silent on this? I just do not understand this after hearing the radical leftist Moon-bats saying in the media, "Bush lied people died" crap!"
Looking at the politics of the issue, President Bush's blue ribbon commission on WMD, the Iraq Survey Group issued a final report and an then an addendum to the final report saying that there was no proof that WMD were shipped out of Iraq. Even more importantly, to have the administration now admit that they were outsmarted by Saddam Hussein and made fools of by having such failed intelligence that we allowed Iranian operatives (Ahmed Chalabi and the infamous informant "Curveball") to convince us that there were "massive storehouses" of WMD in Iraq, could be politically devastating in an election year. The administration appears to have made a calculated political decision to cut their losses on WMD and defend the war on the grounds of spreading democracy to Iraq.

Who gives a dam what the Blue Ribbon commission says? Moreover, most people do not know anything about that. However, everybody in the world knows about the "NO WMDS" crap!

I guess this President does not mind going down in History as a liar? I know that's B.S., but leftist will never let that bogus statement go.

Conservatives like me who know better, and we have a hard time explain why Bush will not come out with this information to the average person.

I think its a terrible political calculation. Just like the immigration debate will cost the Republicans in congress this year. This kind of reminds me of Bush reaching out to Ted Kennedy, and where did it get him? Rush (who is right 98% of the time) and Ann both believe around a 20 to 30 seat lost!

Campaigning that the other party is worse is NO WAY to get yourself reelected. Republicans in congress and the White House have nothing but to blame their selves for not getting reelected.
