And pulling ahead in the dumbest human on the planet category

Is my horse's ass, Jon Podhoretz -- granted he violates most of the weight limits, but his slowbussed gait is certainly a determined, if clueless one.

Naturally information about Mohammed Atta that indicates that the Sept. 11 commission knew military intelligence officials had identified lead hijacker Mohamed Atta as a member of al-Qaida who might be part of U.S.-based terror cell more than a year before the terror attacks but decided not to include that in its final report.

To a man who's career is owed to his last name this naturally means...

And why is that significant? Because the Mohammed Atta timeline established by the Commission pointedly insisted Atta did not meet with an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague.

And why is that significant? Because debunking the Atta-Iraq connection was of vital importance to Democrats, who had become focused almost obsessively on the preposterous notion that there was no relation whatever between Al Qaeda and Iraq -- that Al Qaeda and Iraq might even have been enemies.

Stay tuned as we consider that same logic in determining that the time gap in Bush's national guard service has been stymied by Republicans because he was actually at the Hanoi Hilton sodomizing John McCain, with a sans serief IBM Selectric ball.
