Reply #5: While extremely damaging, it's already being spun [View All]

The cable news whores are consistently reporting that Rove spin, that it was merely a contingency plan, that ridding Iraq of Saddam had been a goal since Clinton was pres, etc, etc.

Of course, that spin conveniently ignores the aspects that were so troubling to O'Neill: that their plans were so completely different from the what candidate Bush promised, and that the notion of pre-emption was a "huge leap" from normal US policy.
