They hit dead center.

Regarding mistakes on Iraq, they started back in 1990 before the first Desert Storm shots were fired. Its public knowledge that mixed signals were given to Saddam Hussein in 1990 by blundering U.S. diplomats, who perhaps received blundering messages from then President Bush senior. This needs more study but Saddam Hussein might have been on the right track in those days considering where the perpetrators of “9-11″ actually came from. This string of events is much more complicated than the average person can fathom.

I remember saying in 1989 to my daily coffee group, about the time that Desert Sand started, that U.S. should have brought Saddam Hussein to the United States for an extended orientation session to blend his desert-learned leadership style with the democratic system of America.

An Osama Bin Laden Sneekers: “Nobody can catch you wearing these.”

This is a fact. None of us knows how to spell Al-Qaeda. Not you, me, The NYT, nobody.

Conspiracy theories all have things in common. They deal by innuendo, supposition, half-truths, and conclusions based on guesswork. Their point has already been drawn while they tailor “facts” to justify their foreordain result. They present their argument as “proof” when in fact, the facts don’t add-up.

Some writers are skillful offering some people just what they want to hear. That falls away short of making it so.

Be careful what you read.

What about the lie of the connection between AlQueda and Saddam, a lie that our own intelligence agencies exposed as a lie near the beginning of the war?Even while having proof that there was no connection Cheney still refers to the link between Al-Queda and Saddam.

Should it make me feel better that will all the facts before him, he still refuses to see it as a lie?

On the contrary it scares the crap out of me to wonder what madmen are running our country. This war was personal for Cheney. The rational behind it was false and wrong.

Two weeks later, Condoleeza Rice floats the same idea, and is an odds-on favorite for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination.

Nice work, Republicans. You don’t let little things like honesty, integrity, or consistency stand between you and hegemony. No one can accuse you of not thinking big. As in, “The Big Lie.”
