HIDING THE EVIDENCE?….Over at RealClear Politics, Tom Bevan writes:
….the United States has announced it will release more evidence on Iraq’s WMD programs.
This has all the markings of a set up by the Bush administration. They may not provide a “smoking gun,” but you get the sense they have conclusive proof of Iraqi violations they’ve been holding back on. Biding their time while military preparations take place and the French and Germans make fools of themselves.
The amazing thing here isn’t whether this is true or not, it’s that Bevan can write this with such obvious approval. When did deliberately setting up your allies in order to make them look foolish become an admirable part of foreign policy?
