Noriega was a useful puppet-ie, friend of the administration, until he became too entreprenuerial. Son of a gun, Yogi---it's deja vu all over again. Only in Iraq this time.

Bush is finding it isn't as easy to outsource government leadership as he had thought. And pity the poor man, he was told the Iraqui people would love us and smoother us with kisses. Another major oops.

One "Bad Enough" after another is simply a further way to catalogue the reasons America needs a change of leadership.

Chalabi misled Bush? Probably, but to go to war on a nation that was not threatening, attacking, or threatening to attack because a bad man misled Bush is patently absurd.

Make all the excuses you want, every day new evidence appears on the news that Bush and his administration is not fit to lead this great nation. The Bush apologists have had to develop the abilities of Yoga masters to bend around reality to excuse this war, the execution of it, the planning for the administration of Iraq and the reasons we went there and how we are developing an exit strategy.
