The Iraq War Debate: The Great Denier

"If ever there were a moment for serious discussion about the Iraq war," says The New York Times, "this is it. Americans want President Bush to explain how he will extract the troops and contain the bloodletting and chaos the war has unleashed. Washington's dwindling band of allies and Iraq's neighbors are also waiting to hear. Pretty much everyone in the world wants answers except the president."

Sidney Blumenthal, writing in The Guardian UK, says, "One of the more memorable and revealing statements explaining the nature of the Bush administration build-up to the invasion of Iraq was offered in September 2002 by then White House chief of staff Andrew Card. 'From a marketing point of view,' he said, 'you don't introduce new products in August.' Five years later, a period longer than the Civil War and World War II, the administration is preparing to present its case for continuing the surge in Iraq."
