A Plot to Deceive
- Maybe - just maybe - Bush did exaggerate the extent of Iraq's known WMD arsenal, but it is absurd to accuse him of lying merely because his specific assertions have been proven false.
| Friday, June 6, 2003 |
Issue settled: media not liberal.
 |
Because Bill O'Reilly said so.
If anyone says otherwise ask them, are you calling Bill O'Reilly a
liar?
 |
Cloaks and Daggers
- Don Rumsfeld naively believed that Ahmad Chalabi was more trustworthy than the C.I.A. and the D.I.A. because Chalabi's information matched Rumsfeld's ideologically pre-determined conclusions, and George Tenet failed to correct him.
 |
Shades of Oslo
- Bush is rolling over for the Arabs, taking Sharon to the cleaners and engineering the unilateral surrender of Israel, but at least he's not Bill Clinton.

Blair and Bush Aren't That Stupid
- It's inconceivable that Bush and Blair deliberately lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, because they're not stupid enough to believe they could get away with it by simply changing the subject, as I am now doing, once it became clear that no such weapons actually existed.
| Wednesday, June 4, 2003 |

Who Screwed Up?
- Those who take the easy path of reasoning from actual facts deduce that George Bush and Dick Cheney are, very simply, liars, but I don't like that conclusion and hope to find a better one.

From the Guardian:
The latest comments were made by Mr Wolfowitz in an address to delegates at an Asian security summit in Singapore at the weekend, and reported today by German newspapers Der Tagesspiegel and Die Welt.Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."
Funny, that wasn't even one of Tom Friedman's four reasons.
Via Daily Kos.
[Update: OK, it wasn't about oil. Or, it was about oil but not the way the Guardian story said it was. In context, Wolfowitz was actually making the case that the administration was forced to attack Iraq militarily because economic sanctions wouldn't have pressured that oil-rich country into surrendering the vast quantities of WMDs that it possessed.
For a moment there it seemed that Wolfowitz had committed honesty but as CalPundit points out, that's not very likely. And now back to your regularly scheduled straw men.]

Because We Could
- The real reason we went to war was we wanted to kick some Arab Muslim butt, and Iraq just happened to be in the right place at the right time. All this talk about weapons of mass destruction was just PR.
| Monday, June 2, 2003 |
Ready, Aim, Safire. The latest emissions of the profoundly dishonest propagandist are getting some blogospheric attention today.
Tbogg distills the bullet points from today's NY Times column, Terminus analyses the piece in detail, and Kathryn Cramer observes that Safire intends "only to muddy the waters."
The Daily Howler is astonished by the behavior of Safire and other Meet The Press pundits, while Uggabugga records more of Safire's dissembling on that show.
Talking Points Memo informs us that "...when it comes to disingenuous agitprop you just never want to count Bill Safire out", and The Rittenhouse Review pronounces him a "nattering nabob of necromancy".

'You Lied to Us'
Or
A happy mistake in Iraq
- The Bush administration did not engage in a colossal deception by falsely claiming to have extensive and detailed knowledge of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction - it merely erred on the side of caution.
