It would appear that the ultra-conservative Buchanan is attempting to deflect responsibility for the Iraq war and the disinformation stream that led up to it upon Paul Wolfowitz and away from the president of the US.
That's one very extensive, elaborate and interesting conspiriacy theory where everyone in the inner sanctum is either player or pawn and the president is isolated from all fact and sound reason. The world is to believe that these lower echelons are principled, ethical and "moral" enough as to contrive an elaborate and extensive conspiracy network that will exclude the president? ...for what? ....his own protection?..., yet unscrupulous enough as to propigate mis- and dis-information that will lead a nation to a military assault? If this were true, that the president had no knowledge of the numerous errors being represented as fact, it boldly declares that virtually everyone involved in this conspiracy truly believes that George W. Bush is so absolutely ignorant as to be swayed by anything that he is told - having not one saving thread of intellect or discernment - an imbecile and the moron that so many other international government appointees and electees have stated he as being, whether in print or under breath. I'm sorry, but it's a bit doubtful that even Mr. Bush is that ignorant and equally as doubtful that such a complete conspiracy could be pulled off without his knowledge or participation. It is, however, far more likely that he and his entire adminsistration are arrogant enough to think that they can manipulate an entire nation into support of a war propped up by nothing more than fear, with the unmitigated gall as to expect there to be no consequential fallout from their deception. It is also a fair assessment that up to this point Ari Fleischer is just about the only member of this administration that has an understanding of where the truth will lead. Unfortunately the first time he exercises that understanding in a demonstrable way is to remove his own skin from the daily flogging of public damnation that is inevitable as the truth unravels. As for Mr. Buchanan's intent to deflect and derail? Since when has a leopard ever lost its spots?
