Bush Adviser Apologizes Over Iraq Claim
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030723/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_iraq_criticism&cid=544&ncid=716
Stephen Hadley, President Bush (news - web sites)'s deputy national security adviser, on Tuesday became the second administration official to apologize for allowing a tainted intelligence report on Iraq (news - web sites)'s nuclear ambitions into Bush's State of the Union address.
Meanwhile, Democrats used the development to step up their criticism of the president. "First they blamed the Brits. Then CIA Director George Tenet walked the plank. Now the White House is dragging (Hadley) forward to take the fall for the president's bogus claim," said Tony Welch, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites).

Now it appears the lie goes right into the White House, and I do hope the Dems keep the pressure on Bush and Company.

1. They will trot out anyone
to protect Bunker Dick and the OSP. Once they get into the details of all the fraudulent sleaz the OSP/Scooter Libby/Bunker Dick were churning out..........its a Mega-Scandal.....water-gate time.

2. I think Pickles should apologize...
...for sapping Dubya's precious manly bodily fluids. He just coudn't think in his usual discerning way because of it.

There are so many people to blame before it could ever get to Dubya. The little fella will never accept responsibility.

3. And if he came out and accepted responsibility...
Some of his former supporters from the swing voter crowd might respect him. Even feel sorry for him... he could have pulled a great Reagan...

But the fuckwad is too arrogant, and he can never admit when he is wrong. So now he's just sticking his finger out at anyone and everyone, and he looks like the worst kind of liar. The kind that's caught red handed and STILL won't admit they were wrong.

Good thing for us though, that's what he is. I predict it will be his downfall.

4. Remember when Ari apologized for W's comments that Clinton
brought war in ME by raising expectations? (peacemaking). Two days after, the a*hole repeated the idiocy again to a German magazine. I am hoping here, just as he said "Saddam wasn't letting inspectors in" and "I wouldn't put those words in the speech had they not been cleared by the CIA" that he'll step on his tongue again - publicly enough.
So, now, Hadley is responsible for the war - maybe he should land on a carrier too?

6. KICK
This is so important they announced it the day of the Usai/Quasai story.

Next stop of the buck should be Condi Ice.
