Apparently, everyone had 'bad intel' on Iraq, everyone except for Jack Abramoff

[ck4829]

You know, because he sort of knew that the US would invade even before Bush started talking about an invasion of Iraq as a "last resort".

"I was sitting yesterday with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when this email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel, but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq. That did not seem to work anyway. Bush seems to love Sharon and Israel, and thinks Arabfat (sic), is nothing but a liar. I thought I'd pass that on."

1. and then there are those Downing Street Memos...

as if the attempt to again try to reframe the debacle as one based on 'bad intel' that 'everyone had' - would work.

2. This might seem tangental

but where the hell is Sharon? There is no way he could have survived this long? Was that all a hoax?
