It is time for today’s lesson in Common Sense 101. FROM A LIBERAL!?
Today, we have a textbook example of what happens when conservatives seek to block probes of the Bush Administration due to a “lack of evidence.”Many parties in the domestic and international security agencies had screamed “lack of evidence” when Bush declared Sadaam actually possessed WMDs in the months leading up to the U.S. attack on Iraq.
This was no secret, as Bushie historical revisionists often insist.Any one at the time could have done what I had done and read the rampart stories about global security specialists and actual Iraq insiders countering the Bushie claims of Sadaam’s WMD capabilities.Such news however was buried in the back pages of the newspapers or on progressive websites. Editor and Publisher recently noted that a whopping 40% of mainstream newspaper editorials advised Bush against attacking Iraq, insisting we must wade out the UN inspections to ensure we had sufficient evidence Saddaam actually had possessed WMDs.At the time, Bushie and his conservative flocks, if they would even acknowledged the info, said of such dissent:
“There is lack of evidence that Sadaam DOES NOT possess WMDs.”Idiots.Now, almost 2,500 dead U.S. soldiers later (dum de dum, why don’t we just go for 3,000 in short order), tens of thousands of innocent Iraquis killed later, bankrupt U.S. coffers having spent $300 billion on this quagmire with no end in sight later, we now recognize the truth it was the Bush Administration that actually lacked evidence.
It was the Bush administration guilty of “hysteria” “fear-mongering” and “paranoia.”If only someone had then heeded those credible sources, instead of blindly insisting they lack evidence.
