In perhaps the most high profiled “tell-all” from one of Dubya’s former aides, The Washington Post<\/em> is reporting on details of a new book by Richard A. Clarke<\/a>. Clarke was Bush’s counterterrorism coordinator and tells tales of Dubya’s Iraq paranoia preceding and in the wake of 9\/11\/2001. Clarke is a long time White House fixture and served as a senior aide for more than 10 years under Bush 41 and Clinton as well. The Washington Post<\/em> takes great pains to say that they have corroborated one of the more damning stories of Dubya’s obsession. I can’t really do justice to this information so please take a look at the link<\/a>. The Washington Post<\/em> has really done their homework this time and I hope I hope the fake news outlets give this story the same gusto. <\/p>\n

Follow-up [by driko]:<\/strong> I came upon an interesting link today that serves as a pretty good follow-up to Shaft’s post. Congressman Henry Waxman had a report drafted entitled “Iraq On The Record: The Bush Administration’s Public Statements On Iraq”<\/a> (Adobe Acrobat .pdf link<\/a>) that is “a comprehensive examination of the statements made by the five Administration officials most responsible for providing public information and shaping public opinion on Iraq,” basically resulting in a database of “misleading” statements the administration has made about Iraq. It’s definitely very one-sided, but the report leaves little doubt as to the misguided agenda W has been pursuing since 9\/11.<\/p>\n
