You have to read this "holier than though" article. The line that really upset me is we had a fascinating string of conversations with former policymakers, prominent commentators, and a host of U.S., Iraqi and other foreign officials.

Notice, NOT A SINGLE MILITARY GENERAL OR EXPERT.

The other line that was so telling, and has been disussed extensively on Free Republic was Our unanimity has introduced some hope that a bipartisan consensus can be forged.

So if there is consensus that means it is RIGHT? Of course not.

To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.

Hamilton could probably get hired by GM or Ford to write scripts for television commercials to increase sales if this report is accepted by the president due to this article.

your right Angel....
Keywords, even in political debate, the word ignore or ignores, example: will Bush ignore them or those....as though he won't look or act accordingly....it's like the old guilty before and were going to show you trick: Does you neighbor know you beat your wife?..yes or no?
Any news report by any reporter today would have you believe that the reporter has been privy to the same meetings,briefings,has all the latest information and because he or they won't follow what the reporters view is...it's wrong.
Six years of bashing and undermining, false reporting,
leaks some truthful some out right lies,agenda driven reporting can't and shouldn't be policy. Right Dan Rather?
Any article that leaves out significant factors is agenda driven...it's just that simple
