Chekhov's Mistress
One Chink in the Credibility Armor
Sometime along the way of life, we are taught that if we confess our lies, that everything will be okay. And so the Senate’s No. 3 Republican, Rick Santorum, says of the President’s statement in January (about Iraq’s attempt to buy Uranium in Africa, which it seems, did not happen).
“It has since turned out to be…not true. The President stepped forward and said so. I think that’s all you can expect.”
I hope that this is not all that we can expect. The intelligence used was inadequate and the Republicans, as quoted again by Mr. Santorum, say that…
“Obviously when you use foreign intelligence, you – we don’t have necessarily as much confidence or as much reliability as you do your own.”
But the President used the intelligence in convincing the American people and the world that we should invade Iraq, when – OBVIOUSLY – he must not have had that much confidence in the intelligence in the first place – because it was based upon foreign sources.
