Why the CIA got it wrong

You'll no doubt remember that after GWB invaded Iraq, the CIA came in for a lot of criticism since nobody found the WMDs they had said the place was stuffed with.

It went something like:

"Those guys don't what day of week it is let alone what has been going on in E-RACK."

Well now you know why - and just how dangerous that "one more won't hurt when the night's still young" margarita can be.

So here's the question - if Sapa had left the days of the week the same and the guys from the CIA hadn't got all confused and made up all those unsubstantiated claims about missiles and WMDs, would GWB have invaded somewhere else?

Aardvark is of the view that somewhere had to be invaded - the urge was upon GWB. The people expected action and that's what democracy is all about. You don't vote in a president just to sit around watching sports and working out for 3 years and then start kissing babies all over again. That just wouldn't make much of a movie unless Arnold was in the White House and in light comedy mode.

So let's all wonder what might have been and where else there is to invade on the map!

By the way, the CIA web site has a page headed The George Bush Center for Intelligence. Not only do the men from the Company not know what day of the week it is, they most certainly have no sense of irony! But full marks for imagination to whoever thought this one up!
