“MONSTER IN LOCH NESS EATS BOAT FULL OF TOURISTS!”
“BIGFOOT ADOPTS CONJOINED TWINS!”
“INCREDIBLE GECKO-BOY IS ON THE LOOSE AGAIN!”
“BUSH AND KERRY IN DEAD HEAT!”
There are some headlines that are beyond belief.
Now, before I get into this, I myself am a lifelong Republican. My grandfather used to hoist a few with Nixon and bitch about “them damned Kennedy boys”.
The claim that polls show voters split evenly between Bush and Kerry defies all logic and reason. More to the point, such a claim is insulting to voters.
Setting all other issues aside, the cold hard fact of the matter is that the Bush administration lied about Iraq to justify a war of conquest. I know there are some hard-core Bush supporters still living in denial and refusing to admit they were made fools of, but with the issuance of the Duelfer Report, it is now the OFFICIAL US GOVERNMENT POSITION THAT Iraq did NOT have weapons of mass destruction or the means to make them. Iraq had indeed complied fully with the United Nations requirement to disarm. Other government reports confirm that Saddam Hussein was NOT supporting Al Qaeda, nor was any link between Iraq and 9-11 ever documented.
The President lied.
There was no "Intelligence failure". An Intelligence Failure is when something is happening that you don't know about. You miss the evidence. Or you misinterpret the evidence you have.
