Another Smoking Gun

Anyone want to bet that today's revelation in the New York Times that Bush never wanted anything but war with Iraq gets swept under the rug by his Republican syncophants in Congress? There will be nary a peep from the Right, the Left will duck and cover at the first "weak on terrorism" claim and the Press will adopt whatever Scotty the Mouthpiece says as gospel. You know they're already denying it. Here's the story:

Bush made it clear to Tony Blair in January of 2003 that he was going to war. There's a five-page memorandum, not an e-mail but a physical piece of paper, that says exactly that. Bush the Conqueror was ready to go to war even if the U. N. said no instead of their half-assed well, maybe and even if there were no WMD's to be found in the country. And no, they didn't bury them or send them to Syria. There were none. Their existence was a ruse. We were going to war anyway. The proper term for such a leader is warmonger. The proper charge would be around thirty-three thousand counts of murder.

Even the date, March 10th, was set in the memo. The predetermined outcome, flowers under the tank treads, a rapid new government, peace and oil and such, was also foreseen in the memo. Bush's incompetence is not a new thing, it's just a shame he drug Tony Blair down with him. I just wish the Times would post the memo. It should be good reading for the hawks of the Right.

"The use of force was the last option," Scotty the Mouthpiece says in direct contradiction to the memo. I guess if you deny it often enough it makes it go away. Scotty thinks their statements and the memo are consistent. It's called denial. It also fails at first contact with reality, as have a majority of this Administration's policies. Incompetent, inept, arrogant and bullyish. Unfortunately these adjectives are now applied to the U. S. as a whole, not just the incompetent, inept, arrogant and bullyish Republicans ruling us.
