Excellent article EXCEPT that this outraged author doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to propose possible answers to his own question beyond some flaccid notion of political campaigning.
“
Bush Didn’t Lie: But why did his administration sit on the evidence of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs?”
Why?
1. They wanted to lose. There are serious reasons to support this answer. Primarily because the establishment hates the conservative movement.
2. They were instructed to do so by some behind the scenes, covert power player. It’s hard to comment on this, but the conspiracy notion is that a power elite pulls the world’s strings and this would have somehow played into their strategy.
3. Bush wanted to reveal this but could not despite the damage it was causing him politically because it would have enabled other countries or people groups to make irrefutable claims against Iraq’s resources. The Kurds and Kurdish independence comes to mind.
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?
I don’t doubt for a minute that all the liberal politicians and media people knew this when they were all yelling “Bush lied!”
