Just As I Thought

Shift the blame, of course

So, President Bush is now saying that he, like us, wants to find out what all the hubbub was about weapons of mass destruction. Quite a turnaround, eh? Well, he knows which way the wind is blowing.
Dammit, I could have predicted this: use WMD as a pretext to invade a country, insist that they’ll be found, and then finally pretend that it’s not your fault, you were misled by faulty intelligence–then blame it all on the intelligence community, yet refuse to open an investigation into those intelligence failures.
This administration has been seemingly more secretive than any that came before. They don’t want anyone to know what they’re up to, of course. No investigation into intelligence on WMD. Refuse to hand over supeonaed papers on energy policy. Won’t allow the September 11 commission to extend it’s work nor see White House papers.
The Bush administration is pretty awful as it is. I just wonder how much we’re going to find out in a few decades when people start to delve into the secrets… assuming there’s not a shredding party when he leaves office.
