The Sunday morning news shows aired key members of the Bush team ignorant of their most recent performance evaluation. Congress conducts oversight of the Executive Branch and issued a key report Friday on the administrations use of intelligence to perpetrate the invasion of Iraq. The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded Saddam Hussein found al Qaida a threat just as the United States. This contradicts the Bush reason for invading Iraq due to its connections to 9-11.
When challenged by reporters Vice President Cheney and Sec. of State Condoleeza Rice both said similar words.
CHENEY: Well, I haven’t seen the report; I haven’t had a chance to read it yet….
RICE: ... intelligence reports and conflicting intelligence reports all the time. That's why we have an intelligence system that brings those together into a unified assessment by the intelligence community of what we're looking at. That particular report I don't remember seeing. But there are often conflicting intelligence reports.
It’s not the blind leading the blind, it’s the arrogant behind the clueless leading our nation into ignorance.
