    One more time for emPHAsis:

    President Bush said Tuesday he was disappointed in "flawed intelligence" before the Iraq war and was concerned that if a Democrat wins the presidency in November and withdrew troops prematurely it could "eventually lead to another attack on the United States."

      One more time for emphasis. Bush is STILL lying to Americans. Here is the CIA agent who gave the daily national security briefings to Reagan.

      Proof Bush Deceived America

      James Risen's State of War: the Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration, may hold bigger secrets than the disclosure that President George W. Bush authorized warrantless eavesdropping on Americans.

      Risen's book also confirms the most damning element of the British Cabinet Office memos popularly called the "Downing Street memos;" namely, that "the intelligence and the facts were being fixed around the policy." The result is it is no longer credible to maintain that the failures in the Iraqi intelligence were the product of a broken intelligence community. The Bush administration deliberately fabricated the case against Iraq, lying to Congress and the American people along the way....

        Proof Bush Fixed The Facts

        ... Actually, politicization is far too mild a word for what happened. The intelligence was not simply mistaken; it was manufactured, with the president of the United States awarding foreman George Tenet the Medal of Freedom for his role in helping supervise the deceit. The British documents make clear that this was not a mere case of "leaning forward" in analyzing the intelligence, but rather mass deceptionâ;;an order of magnitude more serious. No other conclusion is now possible....

          Study: Bush, other officials issued hundreds of false statements before Iraq invasion

          WASHINGTON: A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

          The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

          The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism....

          To make my position clear:

          The 'flawed intel' bushCo refers to was A PACK OF LIES PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THE WHITE HOUSE, and the quickest way to precipitate another attack on US soil, is to LEAVE NEOCON, rEPUBLICAN, gop policy in place. In other words:

          Obama '08

          What does 'flawed intelligence' mean? The intelligence THEY manipulated to make their case? The "mushroom cloud" BULL SH*T AFTER they were informed there was no evidence to substantiate the claim that those metal tubes were used for nuke material? The evidence that SCIENTISTS gave the morons that those metal tubes couldn't hold nuke material? WTF IS HE BABBLING ABOUT?

          IRAQ DID NOT ATTACK US!!!!!!!! PULLING OUT OF IRAQ WILL NOT LEAD TO AN ATTACK ON US!!! If 'terrorists' have plans, it won't matter if we're in Iraq or not, they're going to attack us! We have let our infrastructure go unprotected for SEVEN FREAKING YEARS! People with bad intentions have had plenty of time to bring in their weapons. Bush is pulling out the worn fear card, and anyone who believes it is as nutty as he is!
