Reply #6: Laura Rozen: The Bush Narrative Collapses

[understandinglife]

There's the White House narrative that the Bush administration only went to war in Iraq because the CIA duped them into believing Saddam had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program and had stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons, and frequent powwows with the Al Qaeda leadership. And then there's the less and less suppressable truth. Check out Atrios here and here. If the Bush administration weren't afraid of a real investigation, they'd have been pushing for it a bit harder, don't you think? So why are they so afraid of it?

Update: Thinking about this a bit more, it occurs to me, isn't the last thing the Bush administration can afford more of now is the appearance of a cover up of how it used pre-war intelligence? From a sheer politics point of view, isn't Bush just going to look more and more dishonest and unethical to voters? More like Cheney?
