Rising Hegemon
And then the [9/11] attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
This got the author of "Known Unknowns" and other crimes against logic all perturbed:
Why would Krugman possibly state such a thing?
CBS News has learned that barely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was telling his aides to come up with plans for striking Iraq — even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks.
Maybe we should give Pat Tillman's family or a few others with similar stories a chance to offend the poor man alone in a small room?

The 11th commandment of American politics: Thou shalt not speak the truth about Republican motives and actions.
5 hours? Bullshit, those plans were drawn up years before and were just waiting for a 'Pearl Harbor' moment...
But, can't you see, it's not important whether the Emperor had no clothes on or not!
What is important is that Paul Krugman was a very, very rude boy to point out that the Emperor had no clothes!
The POLITE way to do it would've been to wait until Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice, and Powell are all dead, and THEN it would be okay to say something!
jeez, how many bushies had a hard on for an iWaq war?
