Of course, we knew all along the White House attempted to sell the Iraq invasion and occupation. Recall Card’s lame statement on September 6, 2002: “From a marketing point of view, you don’t introduce new products in August” and the “mushroom cloud” ruse, the latter apparently the brainchild of Card and Bush’s gnome, Karl Rove. Apparently the WHIG was responsible for Cheney’s scary Saddam stories, Condi’s smoking nuke gun campfire story, and Bush’s “I don’t know what more evidence you need” statement about Saddam’s illusory nuclear capability—every last word a lie. In other words, the WHIG, now making news because Karl Rove is apparently in deep over his outing of Valerie Plame, is news for the moment. It will go the way of the dodo bird and the Office of Special Plans.

Let’s face it. Americans really don’t care about WHIG and they don’t care their president lied to them and launched an illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation that did not pose a threat to them. If Nixon had not resigned, he would have been impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. Clinton was impeached and censured for lying about his adolescent dalliance. Bush invades two countries based on lies and supposition and he is re-elected to a second term. Obviously, we are now at a point where the government is completely non-responsive to the people—and the people are so brainwashed and distracted as to not fill the streets and demand the government resign and Bush face criminal prosecution for war crimes.
