A matter of Priorities

-Snip-

Last night on 60 Minutes, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill described George W. Bush as "a blind man in a roomful of deaf people" during Cabinet meetings, and revealed that within days of his inauguration, Mr. Bush planned to use U.S. troops to invade Iraq.

Of course, this means that, three years after he was sworn in, when Mr. Bush told us that Iraq was "a grave and gathering danger" (either because of those non-existent WMDs, or the equally non-existent ties to terrorists) he was doing nothing more than trying to fool We, The People, into going along with his inauguration-day plans to have his war on Iraq.

That information should enrage all Americans. The fact is, the Bush administration played us for suckers. In the aftermath of 9/11, when he could have actually been "a uniter, not a divider," George W. Bush took our grief, outrage, and fear and exploited it.

And now, as the lies for war unravel, George W. Bush -- the "compassionate conservative" -- shows us where his priorities truly lie.

It took 74 days for the Bush Administration to begin an investigation into the leaking of Valerie Plame's identity to Robert Novak. It's very clear that the purpose of the leak was to intimidate former Ambassador Joe Wilson, and send a warning to anyone else who would dare speak the truth about the Bush Administration's lies.
