Reading List


I hope dear leader enjoyed his pleasure reading/contest with Turdblossom last year...too bad he didn't bother with required materials...the reading that's part of the goddamned job description:

Intelligence analysts predicted, in secret papers circulated within the government before the Iraq invasion, that al-Qaida would see U.S. military action as an opportunity to increase its operations and that Iran would try to shape a post-Saddam Iraq.

The top analysts in government also said that establishing a stable democracy in Iraq would be a "long, difficult and probably turbulent process."

Democrats said the newly declassified documents, part of a Senate Intelligence Committee investigation released Friday, make clear that the Bush administration was warned about the very challenges it now faces as it tries to stabilize Iraq.

"Sadly, the administration's refusal to heed these dire warnings — and worse, to plan for them — has led to tragic consequences for which our nation is paying a terrible price," said Senate Intelligence Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.


Yeah, but that sort of reading is so...boring, eh? Not nearly as much fun as The Big Bam, The Life and Times of Babe Ruth. Besides, being president...is hard work.

So hard you've gotta spend some time vacationing, even as you sign more death warrants this Memorial Day weekend.
