Wrong Schmong!
Glenn Greenwald on the NIE regarding Iran’s nuclear program: “Somehow, it was decided in our political establishment that being completely wrong about the worst strategic disaster in our country’s history — the invasion of Iraq — is not a cause for any diminished credibility at all (and having been right is no cause for enhanced credibility). Even after the invasion of Iraq, our Hiatt-modeled political establishment even proceeded to smear and target those such as Mohamed ElBardei who were clearly proven right, as though being right was a crime.”
“These are truly the lie-fueled rantings of “crazy” people, just as ElBaradei said that they were. In a minimally rational society, the Fred Hiatts and John Boltons and Norm Podhoretzs and Rudy Giulianis and Joe Liebermans would be considered laughingstocks. In light of this track record, what rational person would trust a single thing they say?” Our serious foreign policy geniuses strike again (12-04-2007)
John Bolton & Podhoretz — blaming the intel agencies for the NIE report . . . i.e., a “war on Bush” . . . etc
