Done?
Shouldn't that be it? I mean, when truth is told and not contradicted, shouldn't a 16 ton weight drop from the ceiling and end the sketch?
Retired Florida Senator Bob Graham says that, as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he was given little of the information the White House had. The information was cherry-picked to make the case for war. The stuff that supported them was left in, the (real) information that contradicted them was left out.
Georgie and the Junta say Congress had the same information they had in reaching a decision for war. That's untrue on the face of it, and virtually the whole (non-Junta) Congress says so.
But Graham's allegations - and those of others - have gone unchallenged into the public record. The only response has been a repetition of the old like: "you had what we had." But we've proven that's not true - there's a mountain of stuff that disproves the aluminum tubes and yellowcake and Curveball. You had this stuff for months, and we never saw it.
You had what we had.
It's as though an uninterested press and a Congress full of co-conspirators are turning their backs on the rest of the world. It's as if they caught the Watergate burglars, traced it back to Nixon, and everyone had just shrugged. "Oh. You messed with Democratic Party headquarters. Okay."
There's that air of surreality when you think that the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee says he was misled, and that the administration had no answer when he asked about the possibility of an insurgency or other problems in (a mythical) post-war Iraq.
Fancy that. And when we don't plan for things, and we don't ever talk to anybody who doesn't believe in our delusions, what do we get?
The most disastrous administration in American history.
Enjoy!

"They ignored our requests. To the administration, it was always going to
be Paris in 1944: We would be embraced, we'd go home and the Iraqi people would
be happy," said Graham, who's teaching at Harvard University.
As a result, "there was no effort to assess a range of possibilities,
including an insurgency," he said.
Fancy that. And when we don't plan for things, and we don't ever talk to anybody who doesn't believe in our delusions, what do we get?
