The turning point of the presidential campaign? The blockbuster that changes minds? The
clincher that tells the truth? It ought to be. Iraq is a disaster — at best unstable for years to come,
at worst headed for civil war. As noted yesterday in DARK DAYS AHEAD, that’s
what the Nincompoop in Chief was told in July by his top intelligence people. That’s not what he’s
telling the American people. He’s telling the exact opposite. “Freedom is on the march,” he says.
The man is lying. It’s more basic than living in a “fantasy world of spin.” (Great
phrase, but too polite by half.) “He failed to tell you the truth.” Full stop.
Postscript: James Wolcott makes the point nicely in “Attack Pussy.”
