Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "You say Kay is spinning FOR Bush; Jacob says that Kay is bravely truth-telling AGAINST Bush. The only thing you two have in common is that neither of you listened to what Kay actually said." Why should my views be identical to Jacob's? Are your views identical to Hawkmoon's? Or to anyone else's? Anyway, as regards Kay, I say that he was not brave for telling the truth, as far as admitting that there were no WMDs in Iraq. He clung to the hidden WMD notion long after most of the rest of the world had concluded that it was a farce. Hell, when the Iraqis didn't slime us with it on day 2 of the war any reasonable person should have assumed that we had either just captured them, or that they didn't exist. No, Kay stuck to the party line for as long as he could, and then he retreated to the next line of defense. But do note that what Kay did was a retreat. Like everything else for Bush in the Iraqi fiasco, the situation continues to slowly deteriorate. Now I read that we are withdrawing from Baghdad, with our tails between our legs. This is hardly surprising. The truth is that we never actually conquered the city, in the sense of going house to house and cleaning out its supply of weapons. -- Carl
