So—he fell on his sword for his commander in chief. Possibly. I hope that is the truth. How can we really know unless he decides to reveal the truth in the, maybe, forthcoming autobiography. Yes, he was regarded by many, including myself, as a man of high integrity and honor. That is why the about face puzzled me so. I had a feeling watching the speech that he was on autopilot, halfheartedly laying out the “evidence”. And yes indeed his target audience was Americans. The administration knew everyone else was a lost cause and didn’t matter anyway. It was our war, with Blair siding with Bush (what was that about?) and dragging his poor troops and country along with him. I forgot to mention Tonga, to whom we are deeply indebted.
All of us are eagerly awaiting the truth behind the real motivations and machinations behind the war. Hopefully that will indeed materialize. I am also eagerly awaiting the truth of #41’s opinion of #43, which of course we will never see. Brings to mind Jacky Gleason’s (Beaufort T Justice’s) quote “There is no way that you could have sprung from my loins!”
