In the run up to the Iraq war, the Bush administration justified it's invasion on intelligence from a secret source called "Curveball". This is the source Bush and Cheney used when they told us that Saddam had secret mobile chemical and biological weapons labs, that Saddam was reconstituting its nuclear weapons programs, and that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.

The CIA immediately branded this man a liar, but Bush used the information in order to get us into Iraq, and for years afterwards, his identity was kept highly classified. Why was his identity kept top secret after we went into Iraq? Was the Bush administration, along with German intelligence, afraid that his life would be in danger if his identity was compromised? Or could there have been another reason, a reason that would be embarrassing to the Bush administration?

A German reporter found the answer to that question when he found out who Curveball was, knocked on his door, and interviewed him. Curveball, otherwise known as Rafid Ahmed Alwan, was a burger flipper at a Burger King in Germany - I sheet you not. Moreover, Curveball denies telling intelligence personnel anything close to what Bush claimed was the justification to go to war. Either way, this is going to turn the Bushneviks into the laughing stocks of the century.

What next?

Chinese spy: I have it on authority that China is going to invade Hawaii and claim it for themselves. I will give you the details after you choose one item from column A and one item from column B.

Mexican spy: Sir, Mexico is planning an invasion of Texas. I will tell you all about it, but first, would you like guacamole with your fajitas?

A spy in Arkansas: Shhh, listen up. The KKK is planning to take over the South, and make it a White Supremacist nation. As soon as I run this load of dishes through the dishwasher, I will tell you all about it.

Preposterous scenarios? You be the judge.

Curveball: Would you like fries with this intel?

How many US Senators and Reps read the confidential Intel report before voting on Iraq? Just askin.

If Obama couldn't lead such a small organization as the Chicago Annenberg Challenge to success, how can any one bellieve he can lead this country to it?

I don't know about you, but if I were a Senator or Congressman, and people in the executive branch told me that someone was a legitimate threat to use weapons of mass destruction on my country, of course I would vote to take him out. If I found out later that they lied to me, that lame excuse from them, "You read the intel and voted for the war" definitely won't fly, because it was THEY who cooked the intel without me knowing it, before I voted.

You see, Congress voted on the information which was presented to them by the Bush administration. It wasn't Congress who decided to ignore the CIA and use intel gathered from a known liar and burger flipper. It was Bush and his cohorts who cooked the books, and then presented the phony evidence to Congress to get them to vote for war.
