Bush flunked his test on Iraq

The very best that can be said on President George W. Bush's behalf is that he used the Cliffs Notes version of intelligence information about Iraq as the basis for a poorly planned and rushed invasion of Iraq in March of last year.

...

he Central Intelligence Agency was serving Bush large helpings of baloney in the form of summaries of analyses and conclusions that were directly contradicted by the detailed information on which these analyses and conclusions were supposedly based.

For those seeking to blame the summaries, including Bush's own campaign and policy big shots, the desperate finger-pointing works only on the basis of an assumption that is grounds for tossing Bush out of office.

To try to escape accountability by blaming CIA summaries, the president would have to ask the country to believe that he led it to war after reading a few cover pages without once glancing at the backup material that was sent to him and his top advisers. This view of the Bush style - big picture and full of alleged moral clarity - is grounds all by itself for electing a new president.

This sounds like exactly what happened. The CIA wrote a long report weighing both sides of the issue, Cheney went over and knocked a few heads together so they produced a summary the contradicted their own conclusions, Powell played ball, Rumsfeld was in on it and poor, dyslexic, illiterate Dubya was incapable of doing anything but smirk.

1. flunking a test doesn't usually result in thousands of deaths

The language used to describe Iraq has yet to rise to the level that equals the destruction caused

2. Actually he got a 100%

This was an oil grab. It doesn't matter who controls Iraq or how many more hundreds and thousands die. It's all about Oil Companies getting to work with whoever is in charge to get the profits Crime Inc. promised them.

3. I delcare aWol flunked ALL his tests at Yale but his teachers were bribed

and/or gave his passing grades because of his family's donations to the school and/or this family's political influence. It's so obvious by looking at aWol's intellectual abilities today. He's had no potty training.

I stand by God, aWol never opened a text book. He never wrote a paper himself.

Where is Whore Woodward's investigative morality?

Where are aWol's term papers? I still have mine. Didn't the shining Power Elite Family save his?

4. That is a story worth chasing

Yale's no cakewalk, I don't care what classes you're taking. There's no way Junior could graduate without a little, er, *help*...
