Get It

Convincing themselves that maybe this moron really does listen to them, the conservative talking heads are jumping and leaping from their sideline seats with great joy, excitement, and gratification. Bush has finally broke his silence and is fighting back!

He'd have to be listening to them. Who else would be convincing him that he should not apologize to Americans for anything that has happened in his administration that gives the indication of incompetence or dishonesty.

And what is Bush's great statement of defiance? His outright proclamation of innocence?

Critics are trying to rewrite history.

All I can think about is how the Rush's and Mike Gallaghers of the world go on and on about how the opponents of the war and the Bush war policy don't get it.

I beg to differ. I think that people get it. More and more people get it every day. Even Republicans are now getting it.

It is being got that even though the President and his administration were warned that the intelligence was questionable they used it. Put it out here in the public domain. They did the same thing with the link between Saddam and Al Queda. Which has also been proven false intelligence.

We get that conservatives want to minimize the significance of the Scooter Libby indictment because he was not charged with purposely outing a CIA agent.

What they don't get is that for the average American it is more deviant. It is the idea of why the administration was so interested in discrediting Joe Wilson as opposed to proving their case. It is the Bush White House M.O. blame and discredit. Throwing out the fact that Wilson's wife(an "employee" with the CIA) got him the assignment to investigate administration claims that Saddam was seeking yellow cake uranium.

Should we be asking ourselves why the CIA felt it should investigate this claim. Surely they trust the accuracy of intelligence that comes from the White House.

I guess as long as the Tom Delay's are the in essential out job ops to their wives, sons, daughters there's no problem.

They (the administration) are working to twist the facts on yet another accusation against them. They may have pressured intelligence organizations to manipulate prewar intelligence toward the argument for war. This is not a new charge. The early Bush administration blew off intelligence reports that did not implicate Iraq in some way. Bush was preoccupied with Saddam.

There is also the Downing Street Memo . Supposed British intelligence correspondence on the Bush push for the war. The memo inferences that the Bush administration would ensure that the intelligence on Iraq would support war by any means.

We're just supposed to forget that Bush appointed a panel that investigated the prewar intelligence and reported in April 2005 the the prewar intelligence was DEAD WRONG?

We're supposed to forget how they screw around with the first amendment. Using the media on the one hand through conservative talk radio to plant a seed of distrust and suspicion in the so called left-wing news media and then using conservative news media to ramp out false intelligence "exclusives" through white house operatives like Libby under the protection of anonymity.

American's we have short memories and we're terrible at math.

We're getting it.
