No, T... I answered your question... I answered your question... I believe that surely the intellegnce folks did tell Bush before going public... I mean, that's the way things work in the real world... And I would guess that seein' as the intellegence community ended up taking the bullet on Iraq that they didn't want to be manipulated again into a position of being the fall gyuys for yet another stupid war...

That's the way things happen in the real world, T...

As for the AWOL... Bush conviently never been able to prove he completed his service and folks who were there say they they can't reaclll him doing so either...

"Heads on a stick" was always a metaphor... You know that...

A million dead... Yeah, upwards of a million people have died depending on who is doing the counting... I'm certainly not going to buy into letting the Bush folks be the official counters... They have everything to lose if the real numbers get proven...
