WASHINGTON - A "very damning" report by the Defense Department's inspector general depicts a Pentagon that purposely manipulated intelligence in an effort to link Saddam Hussein to al-Qaida in the runup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, says the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"That was the argument that was used to make the sale to the American people about the need to go to war," said Sen. Carl Levin , D-Mich. He said the Pentagon's work, "which was wrong, which was distorted, which was inappropriate ... is something which is highly disturbing." Because of the lies many troops have died.

This is not news my sources new before the war started back in 1991 that it was all bullshit. Now the morons are just learning the truth and why, because some people in the government of course it's the Democrats making it look like they just dicovered this **** when they knew the truth years ago. The Dems will blame the Rep. This will help them during the election. What we need is one party in America and stop the blame game. You've noticed the Dems are exposing all the lies they knew already.
The kicker is they can say oops we made a mistake. SORRY! But they have no worry about swinging from the gallows. Just like our leaders didn't have to worry about swinging from the gallows because of The Spanish American war, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam. The shame is if Russia didn't have nuclear weapons, we would could take on the world. We can cross the ocean with 8 or 9 battle groups and bomb the **** out of every country who didn't kiss our ***. We could do this with planes and ships. With no soldiers stepping foot on their soil. If they wouldn't do as we say we could just drop bombs until they gave in. What people don't understand is before there was an Israel we had zero problems with the Arabs. Now we have Israel and we claim all Arabs hate us, but Israel has nothing to do with this.
There are only a few places to learn the truth www.ihr.org www.natvan.com www.jewwatch.com All of this crap in the Mideast is about Israel 100%. During WWII governments were talking about giving the Jews Madagascar as a homeland and this would have been better by far.

When are you liberals going to admit that Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and even Carl Levin said the same thing about Iraq and Saddam Hussien in 1998. Were they lying then too. Were they cooking the intelligence then. Our intellegence failures can be linked to the level of neglect under the Clinton administration.

Wrong about what? That the insurgent response was greater than the US anticipated -- OK but was it wrong freeing 23 mililon Iraqi citizens from the Butcher of Baghdad? You must be one of these poor misguided individuals who believe that Al Queda (is the spelling by the way) was in Egypt, Somalia, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE (everywhere in the Middle ast except for Iraq by some miracle). Get a grip would ya?

Just because Levin says this, doesn't make it the truth. He's lied a lot before, for purely partisan politics, so I don't trust him to accurately interpret the information without bias.
Show me the report, and I'll draw my own conclusions - I'm no leftist sheep that accepts others' interpretations.
Until then, can anybody give me a valid reason why I should trust the highly partisan Levin to tell the truth?

If we have direct vote by the people of the US and line item veto for the president, it would break the power of having a two party system. It would not eliminate the parties of course, nor should that be desirable, but it would make all of congress more accountable to those whom they are supposed to serve rather than to each other.

Oh Yeah! Combover Carl Levin is now some military intelligence expert. He's hardly what anyone would call a non-partisan member of Congress. He's even more pathetic than Fat Ted.

Senator Levin is an extreme left wing liberal. He makes asinine statements all of the time. If he said what is quoted, it does not surprise me.
He does not speak for the majority of the people in the US. He represents a majority of the people of Michigan who voted for him. And that is not even the majority of the people of Michigan.
I think his statements are cowardly.

There are still people who blame Liberals for leaving Vietnam, if someone really supports or detests something, a massive head injury is the only thing that will change their mind. And that's not calling them stubborn, simply people don't change their opinions overnight.
