Some choice statements here. I think the best one is from an unnamed outside White House advisor who says, when asked about the 9/11 commission panel findings and Bush's campaign... "They feel it's important to their long-term credibility on the issue of the decision to go to war," the adviser said. "It's important because it's part of the overall view that Iraq is part of the war on terror. If you discount the relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda, then you discount the proposition that it's part of the war on terror. If it's not part of the war on terror, then what is it — some cockeyed adventure on the part of George W. Bush?""

OMG!!! Freudian slip alert!

1. So that this doesn't get locked...

You might want to put the article's title in the thread title, and you might want to link to the first page of the article instead of the second.

11. Sheriff Taylor was a Democrat...

Note his disdain for firearms, as well as his community oriented approach to crime fighting...

3. -some cockeyed adventure on the part of George W. Bush????

yup

wars are not fought over lofty ideals such as freedom or democracy -- wars are fought for resources and the power those resources provide

5. Sure seems Cheney is taking a hard line and bush* is trying to blur his

line with a lot of qualifiers. Love Cheney insisting that while they can't actually prove meetings and collaboration, they can't disprove it either. Yeah, like Saddam could not disprove the neocons' insistence that he had WMD. Hard to prove a negative, huh Crashcart?

And, Gyre, welcome to the DU! Good post, rookie! :thumbsup:
