Why isn't Bush demanding an investigation into forged documents?

[blm]

Isn't that what Presidents normally do when they have been given bad information?

[Robin Hood]

1. Doesn't want to investigate

him self, or Condi Baby.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. really

it's a little too obvious. Bush was a knowing accomplice in uranium-gate.

[Skittles]

2. Presidents, yes

Illegitimate, theiving, lying, f***ing morons, no.

[caledesi]

3. Well, if you notice with these thugs...the people get promoted! n/t

[shanti]

5. funny but

this is SOP in corporate culture as well...mess up, and they transfer your a** somewhere else AND give you a promotion! this is LEARNED behavior!

[karlschneider]

4. Rhetorical question, right? hahaha

:D

[Old and In the Way]

6. See Presidential Demands for 9/11 Investigation

if you can find one....

[TahitiNut]

7. What they DON'T do is as damning as what they do.

For example: What didn't Junior do when 'informed' of the 9/11 attacks?

[tjdee]

9. Yet ANOTHER question not asked.

Honestly.
It's called Journalism 101.

Oh yes, Mr. pResident? You were mislead?
Can I assume you'll be tracking down the people who misled you and the American people?

Why doesn't anyone use their head in reporting anymore?

[sandnsea]

10. Has he demanded ANY investigations?

Seriously, ANYTHING? I can't think of one.

[Cocoa]

12. didn't he call for investigations of leaks?

I don't remember exactly, it might have been some of the revelations from the congressional inquiry of Sept. 11 that got into the press.

He wanted the FBI to investigate which congressman was leaking to the press. Not sure what became of it.

[blm]

18. You're right...

that's the ONLY thing they investigate...who leaked?

[radfringe]

11. soooooo many questions that will go unanswered

1. How did WH obtain the documents?

2. Where/from whom did the documents originate? Who forged them and more importantly WHY?

3. Why wasn't our "experts" able to spot them as a forgery when it took the UN experts less than an hour to determine that they were forgeries?

4. Why did the WH wait till July to admit they were forgeries when (by their own admission) they knew of the forgery in February?

5. What was the "vetting" process for determining validity of documents/intelligence reports?

[Kahuna]

13. They usually fire the people responsible.

nt

[texastoast]

14. No. It's like this . . .

Bush told an accomplice, "I need something on which to base our justification for attacking Iraq." (wink, wink)

The accomplice produces the requested documents but doesn't tell Bush they are forged. He just delivers the requested goods.

When pressed to the wall, Bush can say, "I didn't know they were forged." (Remember Ronald Reagan--the great teacher of skills in lying to Congress.)

The accomplice takes the fall in return for an under-the-table golden parachute.

Damage control complete.

[damnraddem]

15. I don't see the connection:

1. to what PRESIDENTS do.
2. to what happens when one is given bad information that one did not ask
to have sullied.
3. to normality.

[Imalittleteapot]

16. Why would one investigate

one's own self?

[dfong63]

17. even OJ made a show of "searching for the true killer"

if any honest president was truly deceived, you can bet your ass that s/he would investigate and heads would roll.

of course, you could say the same thing about 9/11... if bush* really didn't know about it, wouldn't he launch the mother of all investigations to find out why he was blindsided? unless he's got something to hide...

[samsingh]

19. good point

but perhaps an investigation will point back to him or
he already has the answer.
