Bush knew but does he know?

This is cool. Shmuel Rosner writes for Haaretz – Israeli News the following:

"’Many months after the fall of Baghdad, a number of senior Iraqi officials in coalition custody continued to believe it possible that Iraq still possessed WMD capability hidden away somewhere. Saddam attempted to convince one audience that they were gone while simultaneously convincing another that Iraq still had them,’ the report says.

”Senior Iraqi officials told their interrogators that Hussein had no idea what the true state of the country's weapons was, because everyone lied to him and refrained from giving him bad news for fear of being executed.

”Hussein's deputy Tariq Aziz told interrogators, ‘The people in the military industrial commission were liars. They lied to you, and they lied to Hussein. They were always saying they were producing special weapons.’

”’A captured military industrial commission annual report of investments from 2002 showed more than 170 research projects. When Hussein asked for updates on the nonexistent projects, they simply faked plans and designs to show progress,’ the report says.”

So lemme ask this to the Bush lied crowd, if Saddam Hussein was led to believe he had weapons of mass destruction and thought that to be true, how could the world’s intelligence community come to any other conclusion? Ahh, but we know more about the state of Iraq’s WMD program than Iraq’s own president and that’s proof that Bush is a liar – riiiight? That's an argument only Howard Dean and his army of DemoRATS are crazy enought to actually believe.

Here are a few other things Bush “knew”.

He knew Libs with a public education would never be able to figure out a butterfly ballot with arrows pointing to the candidates’ name in FL.

He knew that Monica Lewinsky had infiltrated the White House to bring great shame on Bill Clinton.

He knew Tony Stewart was going to win the NEXTEL Cup.

He knew that milk in the refrigerator was going to go bad if he didn’t drink it. It was only a matter of time.

He knew that Katrina was bearing down on the Gulf Cost and ordered people to leave.

He knew there was going to be a long line at StarWars III and went to the theater early.

The real question is, “What does Bush know?” Is this year’s NEXTEL chase for the cup just pro forma bologna? Can Bush tell us now if this is Mark Martin’s year? The Senate needs to hold hearings on this and other important questions.
