<b>Faked intelligence on Iraq just the tip of the iceberg: senator</b> WASHINGTON (AFP) - A leading Democrat in Congress accused the White House of a broad pattern of dissembling in making its case for waging war on Iraq Carl Levin, senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, refuted White House claims that now-discredited reports that Iraq had tried to buy nuclear material from Africa was an isolated case of Washington using dodgy pre-war intelligence. "The misleading statement about African uranium is not an isolated incident. There is a significant amount of troubling evidence that it was part of a pattern of exaggerations and misleading statements," he said. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...715/pl_afp/us_iraq_weapons&cid=1521&ncid=1473
a pattern of exaggerations and misleading statements I say bring on the independent counsel and see if this pattern stretches back to GWB's youth. Let's the unbounded fishing expedition begin.
If Ken Starr can spend 6 years and in excess of $40 million dollars, I think it’s only fair to reciprocate.
"I will bring honor to the process and honor to the office I seek. I will remind Al Gore that Americans do not want a White House where there is 'no controlling legal authority.' I will repair the broken bonds of trust between Americans and their government." George W. Bush, March 7, 2000
http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61362 Read my post on the Mr. Bush, You Are A Liar topic. There is nothing to investigate, just like that stupid "October Surprise" b.s. that the Iranians were asked to free the hostages later as to help the Republicans. Of course, it was found out to be baseless fantasy. Read all about in this repost of an article by Steven Emerson, American Journalism Review (March 1993). Geez, what next will those clever Democrats try to sling on GWB? Their desperation is almost hilarious.

The 20th anniversary of the Iraq war Twenty years ago, President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq, toppling the despot Saddam Hussein. The war — along with criminally poor post-war planning on the part of Bush administration officials — also unleashed horrible sectarian strife, led to the emergence of ISIS and displaced more than 1 million Iraqis. this country’s mainstream media bought into phony Bush administration claims about Hussein's stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, helping cheerlead our nation into a conflict that ended the lives of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Bush officials also manufactured phony links between Iraq and the 9/11 attacks orchestrated by Islamist militant Osama bin Laden and his terrorist group Al Qaeda. To his lasting mortification, the late Secretary of State Colin Powell assured the world in a speech to the United Nations just before the invasion that the war was completely justified by the danger Iraq posed to the world. Secretary of State Colin Powell holds up a vial he said could contain anthrax as he presents evidence of Iraq's alleged weapons programs to the United Nations Security Council in 2003 It did not take long for disenchantment to set in. After all, where were all those Iraqis that Vice President Cheney had promised would greet American soldiers as “liberators"? Cheney has never apologized for his role in the Iraqi blunder (as far as I can tell, he is still defending it). Neither has Bush, although he recently, if accidentally, admitted the truth. In a speech last May at the Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, he said it was “the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq, I mean, Ukraine.” He winced, then almost under his breath, added: “Iraq too.”
