The "I knew it wouldn't succeed" Game Begins
The Washington spinsters have another British press revelation to face. The Washington Post (see link) reports that additional information reveals that the British military and intelligence staffs were concerned that the US did not have any evident plans for dealing with the aftermath of a military victory in Iraq. The Foreign Secretary Jack Straw now says that he had no idea how the regime change, after a military victory, would happen--after the weapons of mass destruction were secured. The July 21 Downing Street Memo to Blair says the US "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy,". Is someone trying to pass off blame?
We may be seeing the first wave of spin-counterspin that has the potential to distract the press and Congress from the substance of deceit. The Conyers' investigation appears to be on track for laying out the outright lying, prevaricating and obfuscating the real military and economic objectives from the American people. Lying to Congress in committee testimony was rampant and now the Bush team, formerly validated by Blair's team, may see some efforts to bring sanctions on the Bush Administration. Impeachment would seem appropriate, beginning with the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries of State under Bush.
But, the "it was his idea" game will most likely be the headline news in the popular media. Let's hope that those who opposed this war in the first place, such as MoveOn.org, ANSWER, People for the American Way and others, will resume the city rallies to motivate the American people to demand accountability from the Bush Team. ACT NOW!
