Dead Wrong

Dead Wrong
"We conclude that the intelligence community was dead wrong in almost all of its prewar judgments about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," (a presidential commission reported yesterday.)
Here's the president, acting presidentable, more or less shrugging off the findings of the commission, saying:
"Our collection and analysis of intelligence will never be perfect, but in an age where our margin for error is getting smaller, in an age in which we are at war, the consequences of underestimating a threat could be tens of thousands of innocent lives."
So, if our intelligence was DEAD WRONG, that means Hans Blix was DEAD RIGHT. Scott Ritter was DEAD RIGHT. The "focus groups" comprised of millions of people protesting the war across the globe were DEAD RIGHT.

And the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and 1,710 coalition soldiers? DEAD.
