Iraq regrets: Have they had a few?
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Editorial Board
Sunday, March 26, 2006

In the days, weeks and months leading up to the Iraq War, and shortly after the "coalition" invasion began, the talking heads and newspaper editorialists had plenty to say.

For the third-year anniversary of a war that President Bush now says will outlast him in office, we have gathered some of the most memorable of those comments. Many are from the media watchdog group, Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (www.fair.org).

Los Angeles Times headline, April 10, 2003: "Iraq Is All but Won; Now What?"

Washington Post syndicated columnist Jim Hoagland, Feb. 7, 2003 P-I: "To continue to say that the Bush administration has not made its case, you must now believe that Colin Powell lied in the most serious statement he will ever make, or was taken in by manufactured evidence. I don't believe that. After today, neither should you."

And much, much more:

1. You can fool some of the people all of the time. You can fool all of the
MSM almost all of the time.

2. "I don't believe that. After today, neither should you."
Funny, that powell speech convinced me that there weren't any weapons, isn't that odd? I guess I didn't take his advice.

Jim Hoagland is a bonafide shit-for-brains.
