Okay, maybe not-so-light blogging today. Before Bush's forgettable State of the Union address this week is totaly forgotten:
Bush 01/20/04 : "Already, the Kay Report identified dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations."
In a direct challenge to the Bush administration, which says its invasion of Iraq was justified by the presence of illicit arms, [David] Kay told Reuters in a telephone interview he had concluded there were no Iraqi stockpiles to be found.
"I don't think they existed," Kay said. "What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the last (1991) Gulf War, and I don't think there was a large-scale production program in the nineties," he said.
Bush 01/21/04: "We're working with Iraqis and the United Nations to prepare for a transition to full Iraqi sovereignty by the end of June. ... The killers will fail, and the Iraqi people will live in freedom. ... Month by month, Iraqis are assuming more responsibility for their own security and their own future."
CIA officers in Iraq are warning that the country may be on a path to civil war, current and former U.S. officials said Wednesday, starkly contradicting the upbeat assessment that President Bush gave in his State of the Union address.
The CIA officers' bleak assessment was delivered verbally to Washington this week ...
