Here’s yet another example of one of Dubya’s not-quite-a-lie prevarications:

attack New York City on Sept. 11, we would have acted,” Bush said.
No kidding. And if it’s later found out that Dubya knew for certain that Al
Qaeda intended to destroy the WTC in September, he can afterwards claim
“Well, I never claimed that we didn’t know Al Qaeda would attack the WTC at
some point in September, but we were correct in claiming that we had no
information that Al Qaeda would attack New York City itself on exactly
September 11.” This is the kind of stinking, dishonest rhetoric that causes
people to hate Dubya. He claims to be a moral leader with integrity, but we
have yet to see him demonstrate either morality or integrity.
So here’s an article that gave me pause. Apparently, Dubya et al decided
that Al Qaeda was not
a threat worth worrying about just five months before they attacked the WTC.
This is especially interesting, of course, because we’ve seen numerous
intelligence briefings predating 9/11/01 that clearly indicated the
possibility that Al Qaeda would do exactly that.

Here’s
some more to think about:
Frist, Goss, and Hastert have always shown themselves to be decent, honest
servants of--
I’m sorry, I can’t type that with a straight face.
So here’s my prediction: The 2003 testimony will not be declassified,
ostensibly for the ever-popular “reasons of national security,” so Frist et al
won’t have to defend their claims that Clarke is lying. Instead, we’ll hear
Frist’s allegations repeated endlessly in the Dubya-friendly press, so that the
implication of Clarke’s dishonesty will be all but solidified, and all without
having to show a shred of evidence.
Just a prediction--I could be wrong, but I’d like to be on record in case I’m
right!
Dave!
