End of an error
It must be lame duck hunting season.
Why, just today, the WSJ carried two stories, confessionals really, from Bush insiders distancing themselves from his administration.
One, an opinion piece "How Bush Sold the War" from long-warrior Douglas J. Feith, says, notwithstanding Bush ran out of proofs that US security interests were threatened by Sadam, he should have maintained his course and insisted that grave and defensible US interests justified the Iraq invasion.
Of course, that's a long war story, not easily digested in political sound bites. Indeed, Guambat's not insubstantial digestion system is having a hard time ruminating on the subject since first he became aware of it.
Second, the Journal joins the throng "discussing" the slings and arrows of Scott McClellan's new book "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception."
Some of the arrows got slung right back at him. Guambat was particularly impressed by the bitchiness of this retort from a Republican close to the White House: "It looks like a desperate attempt to salvage his reputation by junking the one positive attribute people saw in him -- loyalty."
When you live by the sword of truth, you can die by the sordid truth.
