whomod, my dear boy, just because I'm critical, doesn't mean I'm angry.

However, the simple fact of the matter is that you are posting material that vindicates, not indicts, the President, but you refuse to even see that.

For example, from one of the articles you posted:

Quote:

Three months later, on Dec. 21, 2002, Woodward says CIA Director George Tenet brought his deputy, John McLaughlin, to the oval office to show the president and the vice president their best evidence that Saddam really had weapons of mass destruction.

”McLaughlin has access to all the satellite photos, and he goes in and he has flip charts in the oval office. The president listens to all of this and McLaughlin's done. And, and the president kind of, as he's inclined to do, says ‘Nice try, but that isn't gonna sell Joe Public. That isn't gonna convince Joe Public,’” says Woodward.

In his book, Woodward writes: "The presentation was a flop. The photos were not gripping. The intercepts were less than compelling. And then George Bush turns to George Tenet and says, 'This is the best we've got?'"

Says Woodward: “George Tenet's sitting on the couch, stands up, and says, ‘Don't worry, it's a slam dunk case.’" And the president challenges him again and Tenet says, ‘The case, it's a slam dunk.’ ...I asked the president about this and he said it was very important to have the CIA director – ‘Slam-dunk is as I interpreted is a sure thing, guaranteed. No possibility it won't go through the hoop.’”



In other words, the head of the CIA, George Tenet, brings the evidence of WMDs to President Bush. Bush says it isn't convincing enough for him. Tenet then proceeds to explain that this is, in fact, a "slam dunk," that the intelligence is good.

This is exactly what we've been saying to defend the President all along: that, if there was a failure, it was a failure of the CIA to give the President good intelligence, not that "Bush LIED."

The fact that you--or others on the left--take a publication that backs our point, and misconstrue it as backing YOU up, is indicative of your partisanship.

No less. No more.
