Bush Creates More Security Agencies

I was wondering what the reasons behind this were, when I read this article and it became clearer to me. This is an attempt to brush the Downing Street memo under the carpet and out of sight. It's not like this is getting a ton of attention anyway, but it must really have some potential to do damage.

The section that stood out for me was, "Bush asked for the Robb-Silberman review in early 2004 after it became clear that prewar intelligence on Iraq was flawed. After a 13-month investigation, the commission concluded the intelligence community was "dead wrong" in almost all of its prewar findings on Iraq's arsenal" This is the same intelligence that the Bush administration has been defending since day one. I remember hearing about the commission being formed, but really didn't expect anything to come of it.

While I'm glad that something is being done in what amounts to an admission that Iraq was invaded under false pretenses, what is worrisome is that more government is being created instead of cutting fat. It also seems that this will be the penance for lying to the global community, let alone the American people, over and over again. There really should be something more done. The fact that we invaded a country under the cover of lies and deceit is not being dealt with here at home, yet Congress will try and impeach a President for perjury that in no way shape or form caused any global conflicts. Maybe we should have has Bush, or Rumsfeld, or Ashcroft swear on a bible before they addressed anyone on the war in Iraq.

It's no wonder that in the eyes of the world we have so little credibility.
