Weapons of mass distraction is The Bush Administration's MO
just read this from nearly a year ago.

Shows just how we all knew Bush is/was a complete fraud & PNAC war puppet & an unbelievable FRICKEN ASSHOLE IDIOT WHO SHOULD BE IN JAIL!

Bush would have been IMPEACHED a long time ago IF he was a Democrat.

Weapons of mass distraction

President Bush wouldn't want to talk about the many issues which the Iraq crisis is obscuring

Observer Worldview

Just talking about invading Iraq has a very useful effect for President Bush. It stops a public debate about his catastrophic record as President. Indeed, had President Clinton or any Democrat a similar record, impeachment would already be underway.
Leave to one side President Bush's much discussed habit of walking away from international agreements and his wilful introduction of anarchy into international security. Take instead what might be central Republican tests of this administration. The President doing in the war on terrorism or the war on drugs? He would be judged on the United States' economic performance and the health of the stock market, and might be expected to uphold the financial probity of US capitalism. Yet, in all of these areas, the President's record is one of failure.

President Bush and his officials failed to give adequate priority to Al Qaeda despite much advice that they should do so. In waging the war on Afghanistan, they made several tactical blunders that allowed the enemy leaders to escape. They have not yet accounted for these errors.

The administration had plenty of advice about Al-Qaeda. In January 2001, the outgoing National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, personally briefs Condeleeza Rice, his replacement, on a plan to stop Al Qaeda. Rice merely starts a slow process of policy review. Meanwhile various parts of the intelligence community are pushing the ideas of attacks with aircraft and terrorists engaging in flight training in the US.
