Peter Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 National Intelligence Estimate for Iraq The neocons never bothered to think this thing through. They outsmarted themselves.

Because you can't have it both ways...

PastaJoe Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I wouldn't say they're stupid, but they are too overconfident, self-righteous, stubborn, and obsessed to consider the facts when they differ with their perceptions, and unwilling to correct their course based on the facts. They are very clever, but they are also very wrong in their conclusions.

In fact, if I may be allowed to quote what a senior White House official once told me: "My boss is an idiot."

PastaJoe Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Probably because someone in the administration who is tired of listening to Bush paint a rosey picture of Iraq has a conscience and leaked it. And don't look for any names anytime soon, we're still waiting for the name of who leaked Joe Wilson's wife's identity to Novak.
