Op-Ed Columnist: The Awful Truth

This O'Neil flap is funny isn't it? I thought this was old news. It's obvious that Bush and his cabal used 9/11 to get into Iraq's panties so of course they've wanted to do that before 9/11. The Awful Truth: "So far administration officials have attacked Mr. O'Neill's character but haven't refuted any of his facts. They have, however, already opened an investigation into how a picture of a possibly classified document appeared during Mr. O'Neill's TV interview. This alacrity stands in sharp contrast with their evident lack of concern when a senior administration official, still unknown, blew the cover of a C.I.A. operative because her husband had revealed some politically inconvenient facts." -- Paul Krugman Make sure to read the "investigation" link i buried in that quote. You will find some suprising statements O'Neil made on TV this morning: "People are trying to say that I said the president was planning war in Iraq early in the administration. Actually there was a continuation of work that had been going on in the Clinton administration with the notion that there needed to be a regime change in Iraq." On Weapons of Mass destruction: "I think the fact that we have not found them makes the point. But that doesn't make the point that we should not have got rid of Saddam Hussein." The Reuters story ends with this bomb: "Pressed whether he would vote for Bush in the November presidential election, O'Neill said he probably would, but he said the American people needed to demand more of their leaders. " O'NEIL will likely vote for Bush!? Did somebody get to him, or is he just nuts? Is he trying to save his own ass, or is he just an ass?
