Tell Me Something I Don't Know

Via Drudge, we are pointed to a Washington Post article titled “Hill Probers Fault Iraq Intelligence." Though the White House, apparently, still isn’t willing to acknowledge this publicly, as this statement from Condie Rice illustrates.

"Asked whether the intelligence was wrong, Rice demurred: “I don’t think . . . that we know the full story of what became of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction.” Hussein, she added, “concealed hundreds of weapons-related activities and programs from the United Nations."

I don’t know about you, but I expect more from Condie Rice.  She’s intelligent.

Supposedly the lawmakers who “unearthed” these intelligence failures were surprised. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) likend it to a "runaway train" of failures.

Are we supposed to take this seriously?  Are we supposed to “believe” that just now, these intelligence failures are being “unearthed?” That lawmakers are just now figuring this out?Statements and articles such as these are simply a reflection of lawmakers’ disregard for individuals who can think.  It’s like they believe they are feeding a child sitting in a high chair strained peas.  Open wide, here comes airplane.  Mmm, isn’t that good?
