Bush vs The Beltway: How the CIA and the State Department Tried to Stop the War on Terror

There's also a message here for the U.S. political class: Saddam is counting on the media and politicians to continue their bureaucratic navel-gazing since the main fighting ended.

Nice job and nice "aside" quote.

[Matchett-PI]

From Publishers Weekly: "....Mylroie's thesis hinges on her demonstration of a compelling case pointing to Saddam's possession of weapons of mass destruction and sponsorship of Islamic terrorism. ... Particularly weak is her attempt to link Saddam to the 2001 anthrax attacks, which rests on a few cryptic Iraqi media statements and a process of elimination. Ostensibly an expose of intelligence failures in the war on terrorism, the book itself offers mostly murky intelligence."

What a pathetic deliberate misrepresentation of what Mylroie's book "hinges on"!

What do you want to bet that the person that wrote that review is also among the rest of the intellectually dishonest DemocRATS, who, attempting to divert attention away from their guy Clinton, demanded to know, "Why didn't the Bush Administration connect the dots to prevent 9-11?"

Dr.Mylroie has been "right" on --vis a vis--the Klinton,Iraqi;Saddam/Osama--shenannigans!

Also-- Mansoor Ijaz---
2 people who obviously know where "all the bodies are buried"

Thanks Matchett-PI--for keeping this on the "front burner"

BUMP for excellence in posting.

"Clinton had the evidence of Iraq's involvement in the first bombing of the WTC, but hid it from the American people."

Just as I will always believe he did with the OKC bombing, but found a patsy to blame it on "angry white males!" (and conservative talk show hosts as well)(even on Congresswoman Helen Chenowith R-ID for cripes sake!)

Seems to me there's equal amounts of evidence for both WTC & OKC!!!

BTTT!!

Since new CIA Director Porter Goss blocked the October Surprise agency left-wingers had prepared against Bush (discussed in “Porter At The Pass” last week), they desperately rigged another one, working with Mohammad ElBaradei at the UN.

What nobody is focusing on in Al Qaqaagate is that the CIA is behind it. The anti-Bush lefties are now known as the “Rogue Weasels” at Langley, and they are frantic to do whatever they can to elect Kerry. They cooked up this entire phony “tons of missing explosives” scandal, sweet-talked the head of the UN’s nuclear inspection agency, ElBaradei, to carry their water and leak it to CBS -- which drooled at the opportunity to spring the story on election eve. They then briefed Kerry and prepared his instant assault on Bush once the surprise broke.

But some clever pro-Bush Langley folks, seeing they couldn’t spike the story at CBS, sweet-talked the New York Times into jumping the gun, spoiling the surprise and giving the Bush campaign time to tear the phony scandal apart. Then they leaked it to Drudge, whose website promptly blew the lid off the whole scam.

The Al Qaqaa scandal (the site of the “missing” explosives in Iraq is named Al Qaqaa – isn’t that just too beautiful?) becomes Al Qaqaagate, and Kerry ends up looking like the opportunist fool he is, so clueless he doesn’t realize he’s accusing American soldiers in Iraq of “incredible incompetence” rather than Bush.

This was the last gasp of the Rogue Weasels. Porter’s Purge is coming – upwards of eighty Bush-hating left-wing Kerry stooges are going to be fired at the CIA in November. Looks like the pro-America guys are going to be running the Company once again.

BTTT!!

As she apparently wants to have Round Two, I will have more to say later this week about Laurie Mylroie’s blather here http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/224383/writing-i-blind-i/laurie-mylroie on the site today. Meanwhile, besides my take, http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/224339/still-willfully-blind-after-all-these-years/andrew-c-mccarthy and Steve Hayes’s post at the Weekly Standard last week, http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/04/mccarthy_on_mylroie.asp Daniel Pipes also has a few choice words today, in a post on his site called, “Laurie Mylroie’s Shoddy, Loopy, Zany Theories ­ Exposed.” http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2008/04/laurie-mylroies-shoddy-loopy-zany-theories
