Regarding X, Y, and Z, Dionne's column in today's Post expresses my best guess of what happened. <<The real story here is that the administration knew perfectly well that the two arguments most likely to persuade Americans who had doubts about going to war were (1) that Saddam Hussein had some link to 9/11 and (2) that this mad dictator had nukes. The administration pushed the 9/11 connection as hard as it could, despite highly questionable evidence, and used the nuclear claim as an effective closing punch. Whatever works.>> FWIW. Whether one could appropriately use the word, lie, to describe that, well, maybe. I would just call it politics as usual. To much of a cynic to get exercised over it.
