LOL. I used to have an entire list but I managed to 'disappear' it somewhere. It's nice to know that the Bush administration can mistake a weather balloon truck for an advanced biological weapons factory. That's even more interesting than their ability to mix up missile tubes with centrifuge tubes. Mixing up Afghanistan with Iraq though takes the cake. It is true: war is God's way of making Americans learn geography.

There have been some goofy mistakes, errors in judgment, poor logic based on faulty intelligence, incompetence in execution, etc during this administration … very much like every other. We should be addressing these issues and continue to push the powers that be to change and renew the system that serves us. There is a fine line between a lie and conduct that is wrong headed and based on an imperfect understanding of circumstances. Thank goodness we have the ability to forgive imperfection and move on. The fine line is marked by the ‘the intent to deceive.’ Judgments about when and where that fine line has been crossed should be approached with great caution, lest you be found having crossed it your selves.
