60 Minutes.... Tenet is exposed as a efing liar

The source codenamed Curve Ball wasn't even who he said he claimed to the Germans.

yeah, there's no way he's a waist-size 38.

I learned the main points about that story before we invaded Iraq. I learned new details about Curveball from the 60 Minutes report, but the main points were made known to the public before the invasion, just not as widely publicized as they should have been thanks to our inept news media.

I knew that Curveball was the main source that the Bush Administration was basing their argument for going to war on and that he was an unreliable source. I was strongly opposed to invading Iraq, but thought that, at the very least, Bush should be required to prove the legitimacy of Curveball's claims. The claims were never verified and I remained staunchly opposed to the invasion. I had to sit back and watch us invade a sovereign nation knowing that we were doing so on a bunch of false claims and that the results would be disastrous. Then there were the ties to al Qaeda and the continuous suggesting from Bush and his administration that Saddam was behind 9/11. 6 months into the war 70% of America believed that Saddam was behind 9/11, thanks to our deceiver in chief. And that was just barely the tip of the iceberg.

I've been so frustrated with our country I'm beside myself. I just don't see us getting a whole lot smarter. Our thinking is faulty and I just don't see it improving. It's why I don't assume a Democrat will win the presidency in 2008, while many Democrats suggest I'm crazy and paranoid, and that any Democrat could defeat any Republican. That's the kind of thinking that keeps me worrying. Survival of the fittest doesn't necessarily mean the survival of whomever is toughest or has the biggest military. At this point in man's history it has more to do with the ability to think effectively.

liars before he was elected. I knew the WMD story was a hoax and said as much to fellow workers the very moment invading Iraq was mentioned. My friends said I was crazy. Now they are lookin sooooooooo foolish. I love telling right wing nut fascist supporters, "I told you so." :dem:
