You know, a lot has been said about how evil Saddam is, and there’s no denying it. It’s even marginally justifiable for the US to claim that since we made him, we had a duty to unmake him. (Though they try not to argue that too much, since it reminds everyone just how responsible the Bushes are for him.) Much like bin Laden himself, I imagine.…

USNews, that radical liberal rag, mentions that Joe Wilson “plans to circulate the text of a briefing by analyst Sam Gardiner that suggests the White House and Pentagon made up or distorted over 50 war stories.” This looks like some interesting stuff. While I expect the right-leaning media and blogosphere to dismiss the contents of this report because “Wilson is a partisan” (yeah, people have this tendency to turn on those who hurt their loved ones — go figure), the retired Air Force Colonel who wrote it seems to have credentials to back it up.…

So just to recap, here are the things President Bush can’t find:

Paul Krugman rocks.

In the months after 9/11, a shocked nation wanted to believe the best of its leader, and Mr. Bush was treated with reverence. But he abused the trust placed in him, pushing a partisan agenda that has left the nation weakened and divided. Yes, I know that’s a rude thing to say. But it’s also the truth.

And that, my friends, is the source of the “hate” that “liberals” (aka everyone who can see the truth clearly) have for President Bush. In the wake of the most terrible attack on America in almost sixty years, the president asked us to trust him to fight the most important battle of our time.…

Is he nuts?

Mr Bush said the current Cuban regime, the only one-party communist government in the Americas, would never change its policies.

“The Castro regime will not change by its own choice – but Cuba must change,” Mr Bush promised.
