May it please the court:
1. The Bush Administration orders the invasion of Iraq on the premise the Iraq is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.
2. No WMDs are found.
3. The Army finds some trailers that look as if they might be mobile biowarfare labs.
4. The Defense Intelligence Agency investigates.
5. The DIA report comes back negative: the trailers are “the biggest sand toilet in the world.”
6. Two days later, the President announces “We have found the WMD.”
7. The DIA report proving the President is a liar is stamped “Secret.”
8. Three years later, news of the report leaks out.
Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.
That’s a solid report that cannot be ignored. Goes nicely with the January intel conclusion saying no Niger deal, followed by Bush’s SOTU “yellowcake”. Two really clear instances of lying that are pre- and post- invasion.
As much as I doubted it would happen, Bush may fall further in the polls.

“Mr. Hutz, are you aware that you’re not wearing any pants?”
“I rest my case” = QED. Well done!
Consider this:
If you asked all Americans, “Should the president lie in order to defend the country?” I think the vast majority would say yes.
I don’t think this will change the mind of anyone who still thinks for whatever reason that “defending the country” required the invasion of Iraq.
