Boston Globe: Bush's plea of ignorance

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2004/04/14/bushs_plea_of_ignorance/
Bush says he needed a time and a place of an imminent attack before acting against Al Qaeda.

This is the same Bush who spit at needing a time and place of an imminent attack before invading Iraq. In his January 2003 State of the Union address, Bush said: "Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have the terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?"

Since when has an American president been so nakedly two-faced?

--snip--

Bush clearly did not stretch himself on the Aug. 6 memo. No evidence has yet been offered that he interrupted his summer vacation or called any meetings to consider its implications. The same Bush stretched Saddam's false threat to the point where seven out of 10 Americans believed Saddam played a role in 9/11.

Bush pleads ignorance on Al Qaeda. He pleads ignorance on Iraq's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. It will always be unclear whether a less ignorant Bush could have prevented 9/11. It is crystal clear that Bush's ignorant rush into Iraq has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people. Bush is gambling that ignorance over intelligence is bliss. His use of ignorance is an insult to our intelligence.

Period.

May these sentiments expressed by the Globe, and felt by many, grow and spread.

That has been having such a go at Kerry?

Man...all over the map.

Nolo contendere (no contest, it is self evident).

The way I see it is that anything that had to do with President Bill Clinton and any of his ideas,memos, etc. they weren't to be believed so there for it was filed under the wastepaper basket. This is why I think that when bush and rice were warned about al-Quada they simply did not think it had any merit. After all the Big Dog did beat his daddy.. And here's another scenerio that worries me to no end. Seeing as how bush wasn't elected in the first place how are we going to get him out? What will it take to oust him? When he is removed from Gore's house will he be procecuted for the wrong's that he's done to this country? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

They knew there was fire in the intel. Remember the final HUGE distraction and attempt to discredit anything Clinton had accomplished? They knew.

and then we found out he was like, Jewish, or something.

And, and, and, he looks FRENCH!

:EYES:
