The headline about says it all. With Plamegate evolving into a vehicle for Libs, Dems and the MSM to attack the president’s basis for going to war in Iraq in the first place, we should attempt once again to lay to rest their constant bleating, Bush lied. Our kids died.
The two people who read this page regularly know that Lex has pointed out the hypocrisy of the Bush lied meme from early in the 2004 campaign. When part-time Vietnam War participant and full-time war hero John F-in Kerry was bellowing on and on about Bush “misleading” us into war, Lex cut and pasted Messer Kerry’s own words supporting President Clinton’s actions in Iraq and the likelihood that Iraq possessed WMD from the congressional record. Clinton and Kerry’s words were nearly identical to those used by President Bush in the run up to the second Iraq war. So who lied?
Now, with Plamegate, Libs, Dems and the MSM want to act as if Google doesn’t exist. They want to pretend that they never said the things that they said about Iraq dating back to 1998. They would have us believe that George W. Bush is the only one who ever said that Iraq’s quest for WMD was dangerous. Luminaries such as Chris Matthews, everyone on CNN, and the three network evening news clones, are billing Plamegate as part and parcel of the White House effort to “mislead” the country to war. There faulty thinking - and memory – goes something like this:
The administration knew the Iraq intelligence was suspect.
Joe Wilson knew that the Iraq intelligence was suspect.
The administration had to destroy Joe Wilson by outing his wife so that the country could go to war.
There’s only one obstacle with this scenario – which plagues the MSM again and again – the truth. The damn pesky truth keeps getting in the way of their good stories. Here it is:
The administration relied on the exact same body of intelligence that led Bill Clinton, with the support of the Democrat party and MSM, to the brink of war. That body of intelligence was shared by the world at the time, even those who opposed the Iraq intervention.
Joe Wilson’s trip actually CONFIRMED that intelligence.
Joe Wilson got into a POLITICAL battle with the White House when he lied repeatedly in a NY Times OpEd piece. (Those lies were exposed in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report.)
The real question of the day has been missed by Matthews and nearly everyone else. Lex has asked the question several times, if the world thought/knew Saddam had WMD and even Saddam thought he had WMD (UN reports of stockpiles before the war), where did it go? Even the Keystone Cops have some curiosity about what happened to the loot after they catch a thief. The Libs, MSM and Dems are all quite happy to say, “Look, because you can’t find the loot, you arrested the wrong guy. It doesn’t matter that you have 20 eye witnesses, finger prints, the get away car and surveillance video that all say you’ve arrested the right guy. If you can’t find the dough, you must let him go.” There’s a little Johnny Cochran for you, at the end there. RIP
Every time some Lib uses the fact that no WMD were found to pummel Bush, I ask, “Well, if the world thought Saddam had WMD and even Saddam thought he had it, instead of pretending Saddam never had the WMD in the first place, which we know to be a false premise, shouldn’t we be asking ourselves what happened to it?”
I think that Karl Rove has had all of the WMD in Iraq collected and buried. One week before the mid-term elections President Bush, wearing a flight suit, will personally dig them up in a photo op with a Mission Accomplished banner in the background. Democrat mass suicide will follow.
