That is no surprise to me at all. Since the very beginning, they were being investigated non just by the new Iraq government, but also by U.S. military and civilian reviewers and auditors. A person from my own office who went to Iraq was part of an investigation. It was only a matter of time until someone got caught. Seriously, this wasn’t the office coffee fund, it was billions. People tend to notice when billions go missing.

I have to admit, the unwavering steadfastness of the Bush apologists to maintain their faith in the unseen wisdom of GeeDubya, even in light of all the evidence against them, is truly a sight to see. If nothing else, they truly exemplify the phrase “below average.”

I was listening to Hannity this morning. He made me want to pull to the side of the road and weep for humanity.

I’m considering opening a thread to post a refutation of _every single_ talking point. Nice short concise ones posters could employ when talking to one of these boneheads.
