They fixed the intelligence but forgot to fix the facts

[many a good man]

The DSM proves war was a foregone conclusion and they "fixed" the intelligence to justify it.

But why didn't they fix the facts? They could have easily planted some WMDs or paid off some Iraqi to say he was with AQ? Why didn't they?

Was it merely incompetence? Or is it a sign that neocons have a tiny shred of decency left in their dark souls?

1. Neocons, decency? Souls?

That's not possible.

4. They caved on the UN, didn't they?

The memo indicates US officials didn't even want to go the UN route to make the invasion seem legitimate. Somebody overruled them. Was that the condition laid down by the British? Or is there someone in the administration (other than Powell, of course) who reined them in?

The NeoCon strategy was to make a show of force to the world that the indomitable US military would not be restrained by niceties. Caving in blew that tactic. Was it ncompetence? Self-doubt? Or conscience???

7. 1. they have no decency

2. they have no souls

3. they don't care at all about reality. It is cheaper and quite effective just to lie. They own the media and Murkans are stupid and ignorant and apathetic.

4. they apparently did try to plant some WMDs, but got caught by the international press in Basra.

2. they thought the war would end quickly and everyone would

forget there was ever a war; thus no need to plant weapons. As it is nobody really cares and if it had ended quickly like they thought it would never have been mentioned. Their hubris got them again.

3. Every criminal plants the seeds of their own destruction.

Let's make sure the seed grows and bears fruit.

6. being a non liar, if i were going to lie, i would try to make it plausibl

that is what makes bushco so interesting. a liar without conscience, doesnt care.

they lie, that is all they do. no more effort. then they stick to lie, regardless of fact being against said lie. and that we all know he is lying

that is why these people trip us and we say wtf all the time

10. To them, the facts are irrelevant now.

They will always fall back on the, 'in the grand plan for war on terror, this had to be done as well.' The problem is that nobody ever questions this grand plan, it is just accepted by our whoring MSM as a given that Iraq was the first step in fighting a World War on Terror.

It never occurs to the MSM to ask BushCo., since they have been so wrong about everything so far and their facts do not add up, don't the American people have a right to know all the details regarding their "secret" World War on Terror grand plan, just so they cannot fall back on their ace in the hole excuse to avoid facing their lies, treason, and embezzling failure.
