CURVEBALL
So, in its final report on the intelligence snafu in Iraq an unknown "curveball" is responsible for the erroneous information on wmd's. And Bush announces so matter-of-fact-ly that intelligence must be improved upon.
Look at it this way. If Bush had no idea that his intelligence community was so incapable of performing its job, but relied on that intelligence as if it were gospel (these would be his words) to take us into war, why is he the leader of the free world. We didn't know seems to be the Bush administration mantra.
What happened to 'the buck stops here'? It became 'the bush stops here' when there's somebody to take responsibility, stop that responsibility at Bush. Abu Ghraib -- we had no idea that was going on. Guantanamo -- we had no idea that could be happening, we will have a full investigation until we find a suitable fall guy. Halliburton overcharging to beat the band in Iraq -- Cheney has nothing more to do with this company.
The Pope died today. He was a good man and died with dignity and grace. Unfortunately the media coverage of his death, funeral, burial and the election process for his successor will keep Bush news on the backburner for a while. The Pope would not want to overshadow the antics of this administration.
