Two hijackers had help in the U.S., Graham says in new book"He reserves his harshest criticism for Bush. Graham found the president had ''an unforgivable level of intellectual -- and even common sense -- indifference'' toward analyzing the comparative threats posed by Iraq and al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
"When the weapons were not found, one year after the invasion of Iraq, Bush attended a black-tie dinner in Washington, Graham recalled. Bush gave a humorous speech with slides, showing him looking under White House furniture and joking, ``Nope, no WMDs there.''
"Graham wrote: ``It was one of the most offensive things I have witnessed. Having recently attended the funeral of an American soldier killed in Iraq, who left behind a young wife and two preschool-age children, I found nothing funny about a deceitful justification for war.'"
This is our elder statesman, folks. Senator Graham saw the pre-war intel and stood up and said "It ain't good enough," and voted against the war.
INTELLIGENCE MATTERS is on pre-order now at
Amazon. It is NOT THAT difficult to get a book on the bestseller list at Amazon, a few hundred pre-orders can boot it up there where it gets attention. Heck, you can even get a package deal with the Kelley book at a bigger discount.
The way to get these legitimate attacks on Bush's "catastropic success" into the press is to make a book like this a bestseller before it's even out.
