You Are Only as Good as Your Sources

When you plan a trillion dollar war, you really should spend the time and money to make sure that your know what you are doing. You need to check your sources. When somebody tells you something that is too good to be true, but won't let you look at the source (i.e., German intelligence refusing to allow access to "Curveball") then you should be very, very cautious. But apparently in "the big leagues" these aren't the rules you play by. In the big leagues you saunter into the casino and put all your money on one bet and spin the wheel to see if you can "win big"!



You can thank Bush and the neo-cons for the disaster of the Iraq "policy". Yes, the 2 month war that was going to be paid for out of Iraqi oil revenues brought instead a 7 year war that cost hundreds of thousands of lives and the waste of much, much money. For that disaster, Bush gets to retire with dignity and his henchmen can write memoirs and make million dollar advances. Yes, virtue is rewarded and vice punished, but not in this world.
