#1 You knew they would. Here's the left's spin on the same story from AP. GOP says Iraq intelligence failure caused by Clinton budget cuts . That's their straw man to be knocked down. Nothing in the article about no evidence that senior Bush administration officials distorted facts to strengthen the case for invading Iraq.

#2 not to waste band width or anything - but, for Fred's sake I'll post this challenge here too...

I'd like to note that my $20 bet is still open (proceeds to Fred's tip jar). if anyone locates a quote from a senior administration official stating we have not found WMD's in Iraq.

I pointed out yesterday that in these exchanges with Powell, there are no quotes even though the reporters worked hard on the copy to make it appear that the are. Same with the GW interview.

$20 on the line for anyone who can give me a quote from the likes of GW, Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheny, Franks, etc ( must be serious source, in a position to know - ie: Scott Ritter and partisan hacks don't count. I'll be the judge of that, but I'm reasonable.).
