[The Plank] Intelligence Failure: Inside This Month's Senate Report: The impassioned minority views of some of the committee's dissenting Republican members--Senators Kit Bond, Saxby Chambliss, Orrin Hatch, and Richard Burr--focus on these areas of agreement, and argue that charges of dissimulation on the part of the administration are weakened by the fact that prominent Democratic members of Congress relied upon the same intelligence information in drumming up support for the war. If the White House was lying, they claim, then what were Kerry, Edwards, and Clinton doing?
[Say Anything: Reader Blogs] LA Times: “Bush never lied to us about Iraq”: 11, President Bush did not want to risk allowing Hussein, who had twice invaded neighboring nations, murdered more than 1 million Iraqis and stood in violation of 16 U.N.

[Redstate - Conservative News and Community] Barack Obama: That Burkean Chicagoan: One of the more prevalent memes concerning Barack Obama revolves around the argument that despite his political leanings, he is actually something of a Burkean candidate, one given to a sense of temperance and caution that oftentimes is not found in his fellow Democrats. Specifically, the argument is that because Obama was a law lecturer for so long at the University of Chicago and was therefore surrounded by conservative and libertarian law professors--including a number from the famed law and economics set who propounded visions and arguments concerning the free market that one does not usually find in the platform of the Democratic party--Obama learned to sharpen and hone his arguments for his own ideology and he also might have gained an appreciation and a healthy respect for the arguments of conservatives and libertarians.
[Flopping Aces] Senators Remove Their Own Statements From Report on Pre-War Iraq ...: The Senate Intelligence Committee finally released it’s long-awaited/overdue report on their investigation into pre-war intelligence on Saddam’s Iraq. This final report was supposed to look at statements made by government officials in the run up to war from 1991-2003. It was supposed to examine the pre-war marketing or threat assessment and descriptions to the public about the intelligence regarding the threat posed by Saddam’s regime. Instead, the report looked at just 5 Bush Administration speeches. It completely left out any and all comments from Pres Bush Sr, Pres Clinton, anyone in his administration, and every member of the House and Senate over a twelve year period. The Committee determined that nothing any of those people ever said was as important and moving to the American people as 5 speechifications from President Bush and his administration.

[This Board Rocks] Senators Remove Their Own Statements From Report on Pre-War Iraq ...: Why were none of these statements considered worthy of analysis by the majority's review staff, particularly those made by Senators Durbin, Edwards, and Rockefeller, who were all members of the Senate Intelligence Committee at that time, and by Senator Clinton, who has publicly acknowledged being briefed on the NIE? Saddam's existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose real threats to America today, tomorrow.
