*** ...and deep in your heart you know that's so. ***

He's what I DO know. I work for a pretty big company; a bank (snicker, snicker). I have about 60 people who work for me. Eight of them report directly to me and the other 52 report to the eight. My days are usually long and hectic (although you'd never know it based on my 500+ posts on this board!). I am very dependant on these eight prople to give me information I need to do my job. Because I'm the one who interviewed and hired these eight people, I trust them implicitly. I have to. But, if one day I receive and use "bad" information I received from them; information "created" to further a particular agenda, then there'll be hell to pay. Heads will roll. I see this same scenario in the white house. Bush & Co. are usually pretty busy (I'm assuming) and they too are dependant on their "direct reports" i.e. intelligence agencies, to provide them important information. I have to trust the information that I receive is legitimate. I don't have time to second guess it or verify it myself. I honestly believe Bush & Co. are in the same predicament.

But, now that we know this information has been proven to be false, Bush should have fired those responsible long ago. I know I would've! It's his inaction in this area that pisses me off and smacks of a possible deception.

I'm not there yet but I'm beginning to lean in that direction. He's got some explaining to do and he'd better do it quick.
