A reader's response to my last posting:
While the criticisms of Congressman Jim McDermott are not without merit, it is worth noting that the current administration has given the American people little reason believe in their credibility, especially with respect to the Iraq war.
In particular, the current administration has offered a host of lies to further justify it's fraudulent case for the war with Iraq. From the claim that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa, to claiming Saddam has nuclear weapons, to claiming Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members, to trying to connect Iraq with 9/11, to claiming thet knew where Iraq's WMDs were; these have all been proved false.
Now whether the Bush administration knew it was putting forth outright lies is another question, but I don't see any reason to trust this administration further than I can throw a piano. McDermott might be blinded by his hatred for Bush, but he is not without justification for that hatred. And while McDermott may not have "any sort of evidence" about the timing of Saddams capture, neither does the current administration for the claims it puts forth.
So now that we captured Saddam, is there anyway we can get back to the real war on terror?
