Did the President and his top advisers lie to the American people? Or were they themselves deceived, by the INC, faulty intelligence and their own tendency to hear what they wanted to hear?

For now, those questions are unanswerable and essentially besides the point.

What matters is that Americans grasp a central point: The multipronged rationale behind this rushed invasion has been revealed as a house of cards.

Now, ask yourself, along with those 27 American diplomats and warriors: Have the last two years made America more secure, more respected?

The answer is obvious and appalling. The answer is no.

Chimpy has a little problem in Eastern Pennsylvania. Poor Chimpy.

The Inqy's editorial staff is solidly pro-Bush?

Polman, Kunnehen, Schiavo, the whole lot of 'em.

Oh, Satullo and Eisner say they're not biased. That's not even funny, let alone believable.
