President The Donald?

As quoted from Salon:

Donald Trump on how he'd make a much better president than Bush, who he says has made a "mess" in Iraq and elsewhere: "[If I were president, Osama Bin Laden] would have been caught long ago ... Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's 6-foot-6 and supposedly needs a dialysis machine? Can you explain that one to me? We have all our energies focused on one place -- where they shouldn't be focused."


Further Down The Rabbit Hole...

It isn't nice to be right all the time...

But my prediction that the Iraq war's weapons of mass destruction's failure to appear would be blamed upon the CIA and other intelligence agencies has come true today. The Senate Intelligence Committee released "phase 1" of an alleged two part report investigating the origin of intelligence used by the Shrubberies to perpetrate an illegal war on wildly false assumptions. The report cites all manner of failures attributable to the CIA, by implication exonerating the White House and most of the cabinet from lying through their teeth about the whole thing.

True to form, wimpy ass Democrats on the committee agreed to delay until after the November election "phase two," an examination of Shrub's role in the use of said intelligence to make patently false claims about the weapons that existed or were likely to exist in Iraq.

"The intelligence community's assessments of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's possession of prohibited weapons not only turned out to be "wrong" in hindsight, but they were "also unreasonable and largely unsupported by the available intelligence" in the first place, said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), the committee chairman, in summarizing the report." - Washington Post

"On one of the signal debates of the 2004 presidential campaign -- whether President Bush hyped intelligence to lead the nation into an unnecessary war against Iraq -- the Republicans may have already won an important battle. On Friday, the Senate Intelligence Committee issues its much-anticipated report excoriating the nation's spy agencies for their dire -- and wrong -- conclusions about Iraq's weapons capabilities. The report shifts blame from the White House to beleaguered CIA Director George Tenet, whose resignation takes effect on Sunday." - Salon.com

To anyone who understands how fig-leafing works in Washington, none of this comes as a surprise. It fits right in with another favorite ploy, the "rogue elements" of the CIA whenever a covert operation goes wrong (is discovered to exist). In this case, an overt operation on the part of the administration to fabricate grounds for a war they were determined to engage since their first day in office.

Unfortunately, the disgrace masquerading as a free press has given them a complete pass, and now, so has the Senate.
