The AP had a story yesterday on a "nonprofit" (read: George Soros-backed) organization which produced a "study" (read: propaganda and smear attack) supposedly showing that the Bush administration lied hundreds of times about the Iraq war.
As Captain Ed points out, there's nothing new in this "study," and it includes some famously debunked (yes, TT, debunked) allegations such as the "16 words" brouhaha.
Let's boil this down. An organization funded by known political activists puts up a website with shopworn quotes taken mostly out of context and misrepresented -- and this somehow qualifies as news?
Must be a slow news day.
As Jules Crittenden writes,
More to the point, do these august wanktanks have nothing better to do? Somebody tell them it’s over. Saddam Hussein will never have (any more) WMD or (any more) meaningful ties with al-Qaeda.
I suspect the point isn't to bring up anything new (how could they?) but to try to tie President Bush to the Republican presidential candidates by bringing up these tired old allegations which still have a hypnotic effect on the moonbats. Just wait for Hillary and Obama to discuss it.
