Witch hunt, liberal style

March 30, 2003 Posted by Paul at 3:14 PM

Commentators on several networks have started pointing fingers at Bush Adminsitration "officials" who predicted that the going in Iraq would be easy. Putting aside the fact that these predictions cannot yet said to be erroneous, the individuals accused of making them are not Administration officials. One is Ken Adelman who apparently used the term "cakewalk" in an article written more than a year ago. To my knowledge, Adelman holds no position in the Adminstration. The other -- Richard Perle -- sits on (and until recently chaired) a committee that advises the Defense Department. Attempts to attribute these predictions to the Bush Administration would be funny were they not so vicious.
