Every commenter currently on this thread, now and in the future, including the original poster, Recovering Democrat (have you recovered?) and, yes, Glen Beck, all have it right.

This is the most outrageous action by what Rush calls our “shadow government”, guaranteed to make Bush helpless in matters of foreign policy and at our peril.

The problem here is convincing the ladies in the beauty parlor. All they hear are sound bytes and as the hair dryer blows in their ears they think...”sheesh, doesn’t that Bush administration EVER get it right?”

Which is why Bush, however noble he is as Rush Limbaugh tells us, should never have left that mantra about no weapons of mass destruction gone on unchallenged.

If Saddam didn’t have a stockpile of nukes....something I doubt and hey didn’t Syria just get bombed to everyone’s surprise...than he had other ways to get them. Couldn’t Syria have kept Saddam’s stockpile hidden?

And if there was NO stockpile, Saddam had the next best thing. He had lots and lots and lots of bucks. Bucks that would buy nuclear know-how, bucks that would by uranium off the black market, bucks that would have German engineers jumping through hoops to design necessary mechanisms. And centrifuges, goodness, can’t have too many centrifuges. Saddam had many, many little weapons of mass destruction that would have had him an assembled and ready-to-launch nuke within a year of spreading around his corrupt UN-provided bucks.

But oh no, could Bush have explained this to us, the stupid American public? Even the ladies at the beauty parlor would have understood. Instead he let the Drive-bys and Dems and Joe Wilson and Val Plame, et al...have their screaming, lying way and now public opinion is at the whim of the Dems or Drvie-bys as regards Iran and the hell with the right action to take.

Not that a commander-in-chief isn’t suppose to keep the public informed and on his side, silly me.

Further, why haven’t these treasonous bastids buried somewhere in the CIA or the like been taken care of? We all know they were there. We understood that Bush inherited a vipers nest, now fully seven years ago.

Because that NIE was put out by someone in those agencies and damn if the NY Times didn’t get the leak again.

It’s almost deja-vu all over again.

Mark my words, this failure of the president, a man I think history will be far kinder to than current events please know that I understand...but Bush failed in terms of public relations. The Dems and Drive-bys walked over him. This latest episode is going to seriously damage any action a Republican, either now or in the future, will take as regards Iran.

Cause it’s not about national security anymore, Dorothy.
