jjmaccrimmonThe currency of the realm is deceit
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18348452/
More information continues to trickle out about the nature of the decision process (or lack of) that went into the Iraq War. Former CIA Director, George Tenet has written in his biography that Darth er, Dick Cheney was the primary force pushing the administration to go to war at all costs. The Dark Lord of the Sith ®, er the Vice President, both limited debate and pushed hard to invade.
More and more of former Administration executives and staff are coming forward to say that decisions and consultation was not taken on major decisions such as the Iraq War. Like we have already learned with the Hurricane Katrina response and the Justice Dept deceptive practices involving Patriot Act usage, the level of deceit and self delusion in the upper most levels of this Government are simply astonishing.
Of course the spokesman for the Administration is deigning the Former Director’s story noting that he was confused of unaware of all the discussions. I find it amusing that a Cabinet level director, who at the time, reported DIRECTLY to the President and who was the head of the Central INTELLIGENCE Agency, would not have been privy to or aware of the debate. This ladies and gents is a game of denial, and another facet of the bunker mentality. They continue to ignore reality and advice much to our detriment. They would rather spin stories than to actually fact facts.
