1. genius. nt

[Major Hogwash]

2. By bad intelligence do you mean it was naughty?

Bad intelligence, bad, bad, bad!
Shame on you, now go to your room without supper!
And don't come out until you can be good intelligence!

[MannyGoldstein]

3. There was literally NO WAY they could have known it was BS

other than reading the National Intelligence Estimate, or thinking about it fora few minutes.

[LiberalLovinLug]

6. Yeah but as you know Manny

Presidenting is hard work, real hard work.

[rpannier]

7. Yes, it is

But when you're a dimwit it's fairly easy.
Just ask Dumb-ya
Though he'll have to ask Cheney what the answer is

I think the answer willl be... Invade Iran

13. Hard work:

4. Not Entirely True

A pre-war CIA report warned about sectarian violence flaring up if we invaded Iraq. Dubya ignored that warning.

8. Dubya?

are you suggesting he was solely responsible?

[Dirty Socialist]

10. Correction

The administration.

[whereisjustice]

5. The same intellegence is telling us that TPP is a gift to American workers.

9. next weeks toon

[Bonobo]

11. The truth, condensed into 5 perfect panels.

Now we are, as a party, preparing to do essentially the same thing with "the Inevitable"

[Gothmog]

12. Great cartoon

[bvar22]

14. Should go to the top of DU.

Especially liked the panel with Hillary & John Kerry.
(Do they think we are THAT stupid)?

[hifiguy]

15. Unfortunately, they do.

16. Usually TT is spot on

this one seems a little weak but maybe I'm being too hard on it. I, like Krugman and several others do not view the Iraq war as an "intelligence mistake" but rather an intentional deception aimed at controlling a strategic interest in the ME.

[bvar22]

17. Then you are among like-minded people.

I don't know anyone at DU who believes that the Invasion of Iraq was an "intelligence mistake".
In fact, we here KNEW before the mass murder started in Iraq.

[jimlup]

18. Yes it is interesting to see how easily many people swallow

the "mistake" senario. My guess is that it is pretty much the mainstream media position as well. Oh well, such is life in the age of propaganda.
