Bush Rewriting of History - Send It Down the Memory Hole?

With his problems communicating in intelligible English, Bush could be one of those that was left behind. Perhaps Daddy and Mommy got him out of dumbell English as well.

Here's one to watch. Note that the report is due out next month... Just in time for the Election!

CIA Study on Iraq Weapons Is Off Course, Officials Say
The agency is trying to project what Hussein may have developed had the U.S. not invaded.

By Greg Miller, Times Staff Writer


WASHINGTON ?- Having failed to find banned weapons in Iraq, the CIA is preparing a final report on its search that will speculate on what the deposed regime's capabilities might have looked like years from now if left unchecked, according to congressional and intelligence officials.

The CIA plans for the report, due next month, to project as far as 2008 what Iraq might have achieved in its illegal weapons programs if the United States had not invaded the country last year, the officials said.

The new direction of the inquiry is seen by some officials as an attempt to obscure the fact that no banned weapons ?- or even evidence of active programs ?- have been found, and instead emphasize theories that Iraq may have been planning to revive its programs.

The change in focus has angered some intelligence officials and at least one key Democrat in Congress and has brought charges of political motivation.

Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice) protested the decision in a sharply worded letter to acting CIA Director John E. McLaughlin last week. Trying to forecast Iraq's weapons capabilities four years into the future would be, "by definition, highly speculative" and "inconsistent with the original mission of the Iraq Survey Group," Harman wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Times.

Such an effort would be a significant departure for a survey group whose primary mission when it was established last year was to locate and destroy stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons that the CIA and other agencies believed were hidden across Iraq.

This is not exactly what you asked for, but....

Last week in a speech Georgie said

"This war, like World War II, started with an attack on America...."

Sure, George, those Japanese started WWII right there in Pearl Harbor.

Dubya continues to display his own ignorance of history -- Hell, he continues to display his ignorance of his own existance.
