Bushies Experts: Classic John Stewart

played for fools, again: Olbermann and more

The not-so-surprising judgement of the National Intelligence Estimate that Al Queda has reconstitued itself in western Pakistan drew an interesting response from the Bush Whitehouse that demands some thought. Bush's argument that Iraq is the main front in the "war on terror" is often supported by Al Queda's news releases that also argue the same--despite the fact that the military experts argue that only 10% of the violence and insurgency in Iraq is Al Queda. Why would Bin Laden say Iraq is the "main front" as he reconstitutes his base in Pakistan? Was this a strategy to keep us out of Pakistan? Maybe it is the main front for Osama because we're playing the fools for his game. Why shouldn't our "main front" be western Pakistan? And why do we continue to use Iraq as a stage upon which we battle Al Queda?
