Almost Right, Karl (BBA XII)
Karl almost got it right. He had nearly all the right words, just in the wrong order:
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."
— Karl Rove"Conservatives prepared for war and saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks as an opportunity."
— me
Yes, I'm also of the opinion that this is all a calculated ruse on Rove's part to attract attention towards him and away from further scrutiny of the allegations in the Downing Street Memo(s). I don't think it will work. My opinion, stated elsewhere, is that this administration is in its Last Throes.
[This continues my series of posts concerning the pre-Iraq-war actions of the US administration, aimed at increasing awareness of those activities, as part of the Big Brass Alliance (or BBA) and it's support of AfterDowningStreet.org. For more information from me, see my first posting on The Downing Street Memo: "Worth Remembering"]

There's an awful lot of pronouncements about last throes going around. I wish I could agree about Bush & Co.'s. Alas, this sorry pack of jackals has three years' worth of throes to go.
Ugh. I think I'll go take an aspirin now.
