Top White House anti-terror boss resigns. “Rand Beers would not comment for this article, but he and several sources close to him are emphatic that the resignation was not a protest against an invasion of Iraq. But the same sources, and other current and former intelligence officials, described a broad consensus in the anti-terrorism and intelligence community that an invasion of Iraq would divert critical resources from the war on terror.”
Last night, before the attack,
CNN’s Kevin Sites
is reporting and blogging from Northern Iraq. Check it out. [via thenewforum.ca]
Not much to write
this morning besides this: War Begins with Bombs in Baghdad. A sad day.
I read about a speech
given by Al Gore in September 1992 about George HW Bush’s (aka Bush père) record and history related to the Iraq file. The site where I read about the speech, however, was one of those way-out-there, raging American political sites, so I thought it was important to confirm the existence of the speech independently. Lo and behold, Al Gore, America’s pre-eminent policy wonk, clearly delineated the Reagan/Bush and Bush/Quayle history on Iraq way back in 1992, going through their active support of Saddam point by point.
George Bush wants the American people to see him as the hero who put out a raging fire. But new evidence now shows that he is the one who set the fire. He not only struck the match, he poured gasoline on the flames. So give him credit for calling in the fire department, but understand who started the blaze.
