Who are the grown-ups in charge ?
That's what we were told back during the 2000 primary, but after seeing the latest incompetent fiasco of paying millions of dollars to a conman named Chalabi, we need to find out who these "grown-ups" really are? If their judgement is so bad that they could be conned into going to war on false intelligence and conned into giving top secret information to a person like Chalabi, how can we possibly feel safe this morning? Who can even guess what their next incompetent act might bring? Is it possible that these "grown-ups" with their sparkling reputations could be so naive and incompetent? It's really pathetic...to borrow a phrase from the Newt.

3. They weren't conned by anyone.
They paid Chalabi well to say what they wanted to hear and to give some semblance of credence to the WMD schtick.

6. Worse, Iran somehow is laughing at their successful mission
of getting the USA to do what they wanted for 20 years, get Saddam out. They did it thru Chalabi and got secrets in return while the USA was paying for the whole thing in the hopes of finding their "WMD".

The NeoCons are always attempting to brainwash/steal Minds. Its funny to see they got caught at their own game; the Iranians conned them through Chalabi.

Because they have been helping Iran with their nuclear program and have befriended Iran for a few years now....

8. Result:: America, led by an Easy Mark, was conned into a Blunder
Common Sense and Sanity tells us the Bush "Gut Feeling" is a Flawed Feeling and should not be depended on so heavily. He rushed the war without waiting...violating the "Haste makes Waste Rule"
