Least We Forget. With the failure to find the WMDs that were used to justify the launching of the Iraq War, attention has returned to the arguments that were used in an attempt to justify the war. The Dems are bypassing the only opportunity they have to win the next election, if they let this debate pass them. Rather they should seize this chance to first “heat up” the debate, and then use the engendered political pressure to investigate the source of the forged documents about Iraq’s nuclear program. Those forgeries didn’t appear out of a void. The childishly incompetent forgeries make it unlikely that they are the product of the CIA. My best guess is the Office of Special Plans (OSP) that Rumsfeld set up in the Pentegon – but it’s just a guess. I have no way to know, but I suspect that the current administration would go to great lengths to “cover up” any indication of “Iraq evidence manufacture”. It is exposure of that evidence manufacture (and any criminal cover up) that is the Dems best hope. JMO lurqer

<<...The Cheney Administration...>> Message 19020921 lurquer: Excellent summary of what may really be happening today...Cheney and the Military Industrial Complex are MUCH more powerful than most folks realize. I heard John Dean (Nixon's former Chief Counsel and a FindLaw Columnist) today on the University of Michigan's public radio station...he was on a talk show and many callers from around the country had concerns about the integrity of the Bush Administration. Some think The Administration should be investigated thoroughly and heads should roll IF we were drawn into a war due to intelligence that was manipulated...John Dean said it's unfortunate the Administration will not encourage honesty and transparency...He sees signs that we may have to deal with 'an Iraq Gate' that could be very painful for the country and its repuation around the world. This country deserves better leadership...when will we get it...? regards, -s2 btw, welcome back to the thread...we have missed you around here...Keep asking the tough questions...hope you enjoyed your vacation or long period of time lurqing...;-)
