the view from behind the Bush.......
Jeeze, your post indicates that prez Bush was misled by the CIA. Wow, are you saying Duhbya is a dupe, being handled and manipulated by a clandestine, shadow element within the government?
Perhaps you have not adequately considered the alternatives? One, Bush used the State of the Union message to lie to the american people. Well, we can scratch that one. We know that Duhbya is a tried and true, red-white-blue Texan. Texans never lie, remember LBJ?
Under analysis you have to conclude that Bush was ignorant of the facts, and wanted a good sound bite. It would be unfair to equate Duhbya is just another ignorant Retardlican.
And I know that you certainly don't want to appear unfair on these boards!
