Hound, you actually amaze me with your arrogance. It's no wonder others deride you when you spout off about your government experience. You can agree to dsagree all you want but it isn't with me. It's with a commission that consisted of members of both parties and they concluded exactly what I described.
It's a shame they didn't interview some former retired bureaucrat living at a lake house in Alabama so they could get to the real truth. Those hapless idiots. All they needed was you to blow the lid off the whole thing. I feel cheated not knowing the real truth from a multi-year investigation where they spent millions of dollars, interviewed hundreds of people actually involved in the collection, analysis and dissemination of intelligence data related to Iraq and WMD. They could have saved the taxpayers all that time and money if they had just thought to ask you. What were they thinking?!?!?!? All I can say is wow........oh, and in case it didn't come through my post is dripping with sarcasm.....<sarc off>
