WP: Timing of (WMD) Report Called Inspector's Decision (bad for Bushies)
Timing of Report Called Inspector's Decision

By Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, October 7, 2004; Page A35


As the White House's prewar claims about Saddam Hussein's weapons programs became increasingly discredited, the investigation by Charles A. Duelfer and his Iraq Survey Group provided a convenient out for President Bush and his aides.

When challenged about mounting evidence that crucial intelligence had been wrong or exaggerated, the administration could say only that Duelfer was still looking for the weapons and that the last word was still to come.

The last word arrived at the White House on Friday and was made public on Capitol Hill yesterday. It carried the title "Comprehensive Report."

From the perspective of the White House and the Bush-Cheney campaign, the timing could be difficult , coming 27 days before the election, two days before the second presidential debate and a day after publication of Ambassador L.

2. So when do all these asshats start resigning in disgrace
for their bad judgment and faulty reasoning?

Oh, I guess I forgot that nothing they do is a mistake or wrong - the infallible GOP misleadership that is ruining this country and attempting to destroy the entire planet.

The fascist media will never hold these bastards accountable.

:grr:

3. timing is difficult...and Media has to report it--the 'pending' no WMD's

Difficult as razors for the Media to swallow.

5. Isn't it great to wake up every morning...
and read a new headline that is bad news for Bush.

We've been getting quite a few of them lately.

"WHY DOES THE TRUTH HATE AMERICA?!"
