I thought Andy Card was the cause for the Iraq. Want to bet that with Andy Card, Bush's popularity is going to soar. LOL.

Your posted does make a certain amount of mincemeat of the notion that Bush lied over this war. In fact it rather makes Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Kerry, & (add your choice of politicians who made statements in support of moving on Iraq) look to be the fooled ones, if anything. The reports of the opinions of members of the "lobby" are far from damning of anyone with a right to an opinion. The notion that this "lobby" would fabricate evidence may make some sense, yet there is nothing damning. In fact, evidence for your notion that evidence for the "link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda was most probably fabricated to justify the war in Iraq" is sorely lacking in your posted excerpt and elsewhere. I feel your use of "probably" in the above quoted is a lot strong and unjustified by evidence. Personally, I feel that liars and fabricators would do a much better job than to allow themselves to face the events we've seen unfold. If Bush & friends were liars and fabricators, I think we'd have seen "proof" of extensive WMD's in Iraq, enough to satisfy anyone, long ago. Frankly, it seems we've gotten a pretty straight story as to the lack of WMD's in Iraq (inconsistent with the notion that we are dealing with a bunch of liars), however mysterious that is considering that we haven't accounted for things we knew were once there. If 911 was a conspiracy carried out by an Isreali lobby, damn them all. There is a long way to go before that theory gains any credibility or traction, IMHO. Dan B.
