Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>Now has no bearing on the reasons given then.<<<


"Now" will have a different meaning in January when Bush no longer controls both houses. For instance, phase 2 of the pre-war intelligence investigation will see daylight no matter what George Bush tells Pat Roberts to do.


"The committee has released two of its five so-called "Phase II" investigations that delve more deeply into issues regarding pre-war intelligence on Iraq. Still to come is the most potentially explosive: Comparing the pre-war statements of government officials with the intelligence available at the time."

"Why is it taking the Senate intelligence committee forty times longer to examine how the Bush administration used--or misused--the prewar intelligence on Iraq and WMDs than it took for the United States military to topple Saddam Hussein?

But the intelligence committee, led by Republican Senator Pat Roberts, has dilly-dallied for two-and-a-half years when it has come to reviewing how George W. Bush and his top aides represented--or misrepresented--the WMD intelligence as they led (or misled) the nation to war."
