David Kay urged Congress to launch an independent investigation into the faulty intelligence on Iraq. He's right. How could the same CIA that failed to connect the dots before Sept. 11 also be so wrong about Iraq's military might? We pay $30 billion a year for that outfit – for what?
But investigating the CIA is not enough. There should also be an independent investigation of the White House, starting with President Bush. It's too late for him to change his story and say we really went to war to get rid of a bad guy. That's not what he said at the time. He preached that we had to go to war to disarm Saddam Hussein and eliminate a serious threat to the United States.
How could he be so wrong? Was he duped by CIA Director George Tenet? Or, as I believe, did he and Cheney tweak the little evidence they had to make the case for a war they had already decided to wage for political purposes? Did he deliberately mislead the nation? After David Kay's testimony, is there any doubt?
Of course, if Congress won't launch such an investigation, we the people will have our own chance, on Nov. 2. After all, if lying about sex is grounds for impeachment, then certainly lying about going to war is grounds for no re-election.
Please repeat after me: President John F. Kerry.
