Report: CIA Gave False Info on Iraq

AP - 7-9-04

U.S. intelligence agencies fell victim to false "group think" when assessing Iraq's weapons capabilities and ended up giving the Bush administration overstated or incorrect conclusions before the 2003 invasion, a scathing Senate Intelligence Committee report says.

Lisa,

The pResident stated yesterday that Cheney could be President.

I have news for Bush -- Cheney already IS President.

Who gave the orders on 9/11 to shoot down planes -- Cheney, NOT Bush! Bush was at the school trying to decide what to do for 7 long minutes after he was notified we were under attack.

Someone ought to clue our clueless leader in.

This picture of Bush on 9-11 says it all

INSPIRED BY IRAQI HANDOVER, BUSH HOLDS U.S. ELECTION FOUR MONTHS EARLY

Element of Surprise Cited As Bush Romps to Victory

Inspired by the early handover of sovereignty in Iraq, President George
W. Bush employed the element of surprise once more last night, holding
the U.S. presidential election four months early.

The election, about which only top Bush administration officials were
notified, went exceedingly well for the president, who carried all fifty
states and garnered approximately one hundred percent of the vote.

Mr. Bush's victory speech, which he had originally scheduled for eleven
P.M. last night, was at the last-minute rescheduled to nine P.M., once
again capitalizing on the element of surprise.

In his speech, Mr. Bush admitted that he might have had a more difficult
time getting reelected if the American people had actually been notified
about the time and date of the voting, but added, "A win's a win,
right?"

Mr. Bush's second inauguration is slated to take place on January 20,
2005, but administration officials acknowledged that it could happen "at
any time."

"For all I know it has already happened," one aide said.

While the stealth presidential election seems to have cemented the Bush
administration's reputation for secrecy, one aide said that some secrets
were harder to keep than others: "For example, everyone knows how Paul
Wolfowitz gets his hair to look so great."

White House officials praised the performance of the controversial new
Diebold electronic voting machines, which successfully tabulated final
results from Florida before a single vote was cast.

The next edition (Monday, July 19) of All Hat No Cattle will be published from the All Hat No Cattle Central American Bureau (above) in a cost-cutting measure during which I will subsist on tropical fruit and fresh seafood. Plus, I have not taken a vacation in more than a year.

The upcoming issue will contain a column by the new editor and go-fer, Dave Casey.

Dave has an impressive investigative reporting background. He has covered everything from organized crime in south Florida and elsewhere to corruption at the Alabama State Docks in Mobile, which led to his selection as a Loeb award finalist.

The Mick, as I like to call Dave, has been feverishly trying to correct my punctuation on this site. He also does a hilarious imitation of the Queen of England visiting Abu Ghraib prison.

Be prepared, AHNC viewers, we have lots of laughter in store for you.

Please continue sending your emails to floridagate2000@yahoo.com

Now I will have time to answer more email with Dave on board. Thank you for your support.

See you on Monday, July 19, 2004.

Peace.
