These are some of the simple facts about the Bush Admin’s “fixing of intel.” Liberals who want the truth to be known should be reciting these points almost constantly; instead, they’ve spent their time in the past six weeks staring at the Downing Street memo, trying to mind-read its pithy constructions. But then, liberals and Democrats have constantly failed to make a good case about this theme—about the way the Bush Admin went out there and faked the intelligence. At this time, your liberal and Democratic elites are almost impossibly inept when it comes to framing messages. And this unfortunate trait has been on display when it comes to the faking of intel.

Did the Bush Admin fake the intel in the wake of the Downing Street memo? Of course they did; they began to scare us silly about Saddam’s nukes, grossly misstating the intel to do it. But this is not what liberals say when they discuss this theme on TV, where voters might actually learn from their work.

Yes, Cheney/Rice pretty much lied through their teeth. To us, they “fixed the intel” but good. But alas! Your current liberal/Dem elites are too inept, too lazy to prove it. Basic texts, like Woodward’s, spell out the facts. But that would require a whole lot of reading—a treatment that Woodward’s book never got. When it comes to spreading some real info, your lazy, languorous liberal elites have performed like the Downing Street no-shows.

That's because the public is too lazy to give a fuck if something takes longer to elaborate on than a soundbite. So they're ucked in any case. But its all out there.
If someone cares, the evidence is there. I dont see the point of this.

Fact is most americans believe that either he lied, or at least suspect that he made a very unwise decision. But problem is no one cares. He could come out and admit it and everyone would say, "Meh..." But that's not important. Hey did you hear that Jennifer Wilbanks signed a book deal!

And people wonder why 'the media' isn't giving this more coverage. The public really just doesn't care. People aren't outraged at ANYTHING that has happened or that's going on. Not to draw any parallels, but I wonder if the average citizen of Nazi Germany was as along for the ride as the average American is now. Did they just not care enough to speak out against what was happening? Surely they didn't as a whole believe in what was happening.

But I digress...

Sometimes I wonder how much Bush could come out and openly admit to without the public really giving a shit. And I don't necessarily think nobody cares, but that the half of the country that's pro-Bush is so polarized against the left and for the right (for whatever sick reason) that they'll turn a deaf ear and a blind eye towards anything that could make their political heroes look bad. It's amazing how much spin and/or ignoring they do when such stuff does arise.
