Reply #15: Cheney's "interest in a dubious document" -- is the Real Smoking Gun

[Senator]

The point that seems to get lost in all this the original "cheney request."

As usual, the Euphemedia -- via Chris Matthews -- has it bassackwards, by obsessing on the report end of that query. He wants to know if he got a report back, and if so why not tell someone (at worst, a LIHOP scenario).

The real revelation there (and what Tricky Dick II was rabid to coverup) is that it was already a "dubious document." That he was picking through the Intel Trash Bin to find a smelly, old red herring to terrorize the American People with.

The Big Lie of "Mushroom Clouds!! ... in 45 minutes!" was constructed with malice aforethought.

That reality cuts through all the euphemistic non-responsibility memes like "cherry picking," "intelligence failure," and "garbage in, garbage out." It flips the switch from LIHOP to MIHOP.

It's kind of hard to defend haplessness with Deadeye Dick ankle's up in the dumpster.
