Can we assimilate the Bob Woodward interview on 60 Minutes? [View All]

[kentuck]

I am reading several different interpretations of what was shown. What is the real story? Is Bush really insane? Why couldn't any of his people tell him "no"? Either you were with him or you were against him?

What is the real story about Bandar? Why was he told about the "plan' before Powell and Rumsfeld? Is he the same Saudi "official' that requested the bin Laden family flown out of the country right after 9/11?

Does he have a "Messianic" complex or is he a megalomaniac or both? Or is he doing the bidding of Dick Cheney? That is not clear.

Are the present high gas prices permitting the Saudis to make a huge profit now to make up for the "shortfall" when they lower the gas prices just before the November elections? Are we being "played" at this very moment?

Just what did Tenet mean by his remarks about a "slamdunk"? Did he mean that they knew Saddam had the WMDs or did he mean it would be an easy sell to the gullible American public?

And just where do the 28 pages relating to Saudi Arabia that were redacted by the White House come into the story? What is in those pages? And where does the Cheney energy meeting records figure into this story?

I think we need to analyze this story very closely before we assume that it means nothing...or that Woodward is a Republican shill...
