It’d be great to blame Shrub for a lot of this, and I do, but let’s be even more specific in what is being claimed.

Leaving quotes and vaguely worded claims to the side, I am blame Shrub for a rush to judgment on a matter of considerable importance. Really, it’s just that simple.

If we had continued a different process we might now know -- in advance of war -- that some claims made around the time of the state of the Union Address and approaching the actual eve of war were proving out false or at least grossly overstated. But Shrub had no patience, and the people of the U.S. did not require any of him either.

Do I think he knowlingly lied and misled the U.S.? Yes. Are we going to be able to prove it? Probably not, see: http://www.reuters.com/printerFriendlyPopup.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=3077695 Looks like the brass at the CIA are willing to take the fall. More realistically, no one is falling on any swords because it’s unnecessary to do so -- there is no overwhelming portion of the U.S. citizenry demanding anything like the truth yet. Everyone’s still asleep.

Nitey nite...
