  Reminds me of the old folk song, "For every season, TURN, TURN, TURN"... Following is an excerpt from an article by Molly Ivins that I found at urlLink www.thesmirkingchimp.com &nbsp;(which is one of my favorite web sites, by the way): "For the first two days I was on this media marathon, the story du jour was the Senate Intelligence Committee report that concluded the CIA was just flat wrong on its pre-war calls on Iraq. Wrong abut the weapons of mass destruction, wrong about connections to Al Qaeda, wrong about Saddam Hussein having a nuclear program and so on. All of which we already knew the government had been wrong about, but this was the Official Report.So here's the Republican reaction: "See, the CIA was wrong, so you people owe President Bush an apology. " I'm sitting there, brilliantly riposting, "Huh? " Here's the chain of logic. The CIA was wrong, therefore those on the left who say President Bush lied to us are wrong because he wasn't lying, he just believed the CIA. And you people are being rude and hateful and ugly and just mean about President Bush, and we want an apology.What I'm worried about here is the amnesia factor.
Am I the only person around who distinctly remembers an entire 18 months ago? This is what happened: The CIA was wrong, but it wasn't wrong enough for the White House, which kept pushing the spies to be much wronger. The CIA's lack of sufficient wrongness was so troubling to the anxious Iraq hawks that they kept touting their own reliable sources, such as Ahmad Chalabi and his merry crew of fabulists. The neo-cons even set up their very own little intelligence shop in the Pentagon to push us into this folly in Iraq.

How many lies does this administration have to tell before someone stands up and shouts, "The sky is NOT falling...oh, and by the way your NOSE IS GROWING"...
