“Wild Charges”

That’s George W. Bush’s take on the Al Qaqaa scandal. Holy shit is about the only logical reply to that. I haven’t written a thing on this, as I just can’t get my head wrapped around it.
Just about everybody with half a brain knew that the planning of the Iraq war was fucked up beyond all belief and reason, long ago. The Al Qaqaa revelations aren’t even all that surprising. Actually that’s the scary part right? That most of us probably didn’t even flinch when we heard it, is pretty indicative of the whole steaming sack of shit, otherwise known as Operation Iraqi Freedom. We’ve known, or suspected, for some time that the administration put a higher priority on securing oil fields than on weapons sites.
Now we get to witness the the President, his surrogates and his media whores, blame everybody and everything, other than Bush and his cabinet and his war planners. We get to see them try to deny plain facts and behave as if some great offense has occurred. The offense? Fucking up Iraq in every way conceivable? No. Pointing out just one of the multitude of mistakes in an ongoing disaster. That’s the problem.
Again. Holy Shit.
