Moonbeam will help make a lot of things clear for you in this post!

I have been wondering intensely for the last 24 hours WHY anyone would use the Duelfer report to justify a war on Iraq. I've been wondering WHY any President would continue to name a country as an ally who has officially said "don't call us, we'll call you and give me all those notes back and my class ring, too!"

Then, I had clarity.

bush has NOT read the Duelfer report. He is NOT clear on our new relationship with Poland vis a vis Iraq. WHY?

HE DOESN'T READ! I'm even willing to bet my left arm he doesn't have the patience/capability/mental capacity to sit and listen to a Cliffs Notes VERBAL briefing of these things, either.

So. I know exactly what bush advisors and his cabinet need to do to stop him from furthering his reputation as World's Scariest Man in Charge of Nuclear Weapons (North Korea ain't got NOTHING on us!).

They need to put it in PICTURE BOOK FORM! Think of "My Pet Goat." He LOVES that damn book. Probably STILL reads it every night. Probably on his nightstand RIGHT NOW.

I am no artist or photoshopper, but I think, as a public service, one of us could do this.

The captions for the Deulfer report (I just know I am spelling the guy's name wrong!) would be as follows:

1. Duelfer is this man!
2. He was hired by us to see if this man: Saddam Hussein, really had all those scary weapons!
3. See Deulfer working hard!
4. See him go!
5. See Deulfer find nothing!
6. Deulfer is typing on his computer here!
7. Notice how there is only one internet! (That's thrown in as an extra to help him with that.)
8. Deulfer finishes report! Whee! He is happy! He gives report to us!
9. Report is very bad for us! Says Saddam Hussein never started making new bad stinky and big boom weapons!
10. Oh no!
11. Duelfer report BAD. Bad Duelfer report, BAD.
12. We mustn't mention Duelfer report ever! He must be on crack!

Something like that.

The Poland one would be simpler.

1. See Poland.
2. It's on the continent called EUROPE.
3. We get good sausage from them!
4. They were helping us fight the bad guys!
5. They told us "Bye-Bye!" the other day!
6. No more Poland! Bye-bye Poland!

I think he could get that one, don't you think?

And I know this is tongue in cheek, but seriously folks, I wonder. And that's freaking sad.

3. Sounded as if he's never read the Constitution OR the Patriot Act either!

How did Doofus ever get through Yale? :dunce:

Classic Comics, Cliff's Notes, fraternity test/research paper files? Probably purchased term papers, hired test stand-ins (no test security at large universities "back in the day" as many schools had "honor codes").

5. His understanding of the Patriot Act

is absolutely nil as evidenced in the debate.
and as for the Constitution - that was a document to preserve the country only until he arrived to take it over. Way too complicated for him.

4. The reason bush can say that about the Duelfer report....

...is not that he hasn't read it, or at least the Readers' Digest version of it. Rather, it's that the public at large has not read and will not read the report before the election. As long as the content is an unknown, he can say whatever he likes about it and no one will know he's lying. And, because what he says ("the War is Justified!") is much more appealing to the quasi-patriotic masses than what the report actually says, the public will be inclined to believe him. Until the voting public makes a real priority of knowing what the hell is happening to our country and its various policies, the truth takes second place to wishful thinking.

8. But I've not read it either

and I know the media reported what was in it and it wasn't good for bush or for the war in Iraq.

Surely people have HEARD what is in it!

[0rganism]

17. Are others hearing what you hear?

> I know the media reported what was in it

Yes, they did. Now, how many Americans will read/hear those reports from the media? 10 million, maybe? 20 million? This is not going to hurt bush any more than all the previous reports saying essentially the same thing. If 62% of republicans and half the general population can still believe that Saddam planned the 9/11 attacks with Osama, one more report like this isn't going to change many minds.
