105. While I had nothing to say in the
Daschle thread I have to say, in a normal world, in the way things should be, it would be unthinkable for the President of the United States to tell lies to justify war. A pre-emptive war on an oil rich nation at that!! In the face of massive opposition at home and abroad. At the cost of countless lives.

I know if I were President such a thing would go in my unthinkable column. I know if I were running for President against Bush (and we all know all the relationship dynamics involved here, corporate whore press, sheeple, etc.) I too would tread warily.

I see Levin doing a similar thing. I think it is a politically strategic thing to do. None of these folks want to appear as the neo-cons themselves did. We can all easily write off so much of the Clinton "scadals" as pure hate-mongering--just Hate Clinton crap. This is not the same and it's wise to take steps to make sure that is clear.

Lastly, I sure am glad that I do not have a passionate hate for any of the Dem candidates that you seem to have.

Julie
