Ignoring the Evidence

And from our "Beating A Dead Horse" department…

Iraqi scientist gave CIA information that should have prevented war

Chalk it up to example no. 2425612437846262 of intelligence that was ignored in the desire to wage an unnecessary war.

Of course, Warmongers, Inc. will maintain that this information wasn’t credible, or that this is part of a "vast left wing conspiracy", or some other nonsense, and insist that we did the right thing at the time, given what we knew, and it is our duty to commit to the goal of this fundamentally misguided action. No matter how many people die, no matter how bad the economy gets, no matter how much the dollar is devalued…stay the course. Just a little more war will solve everything!

Face it. WMD was a deliberate fabrication. War was a waged on false pretenses, and no amount of "sticking it out" is going to change that. War never creates, it only destroys. Bush's war is destroying us from the inside out.

When you are in a hole, the first thing you need to do is stop digging.
