The Clenis made me invade Iraq!

GOP Blames Clinton For Iraq Intel Lapse

All I have to say is, "Is this the best you can do... bitch?"

Jesus H. Christ, can these guys get any more dysfunctional? Cue the stereotypically Irish policeman dragging Porter Goss away.

"But... but... it was all Clinton's fault!"

"Shore, shore, it twas! Now you're goin' away fur a loooong rest!"

Goss said an effort at political correctness prompted intelligence agencies to stop using "distasteful people" for human intelligence, meaning America lost people who served as its eyes and ears around the world.

Yeah, but Bush hired those "distasteful people" right back and set them up in the Pentagon. Or, maybe he's not talking specifically about Rumsfeld's personal intelligence agency but about its sources like Chalabi who told us we'd be welcomed as liberators and Khidir Hamza who told us all about Iraq's reconstituted nuclear program.

Or maybe he's just blowing it out his ass.

When intelligence spending was increased in 1993, Goss complimented the Clinton administration "for going into this and seeing our true need," Boorstin quoted Goss as saying at the time.

Mmm, yeah. Pull the other one, Porter.

ADDENDUM: Look, I don't know about any other Democrats, but as soon as George Bush is out of office, I plan to erase him from my memory like a bad dream, even if we spend decades trying to dig ourselves out from under the deficit he's created.

The stereotypical irish policeman is not complete unless he says "begob", "by the holy Hokey", or "Great Crikes". Apart from that I wholeheartedly agree with the gist of your post.
