Interesting bit from today’s New York Times story about the White House’s low-key roll-out in Baghdad of those new semi-WMDs called “explosively formed penetrators.” (Students of Freud will recall the “robust earth penetrators” with which Cheney-Bush plan to sodomize Iran until the mullahs beg for democracy.)
At the State Department, the Pentagon and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, officials had anticipated resistance to their claims. They settled on an approach that sidelined senior officials including Zalmay Khalilzad, the American ambassador to Iraq, and John D. Negroponte, who until last week was the director of national intelligence.
By doing so, they avoided the inevitable comparisons to the since-discredited presentation that Secretary of State Colin L. Powell made to the United Nations Security Council in 2003 asserting that Iraq had illicit weapons.
In the run-up to their second war Cheney-Bush didn’t hesitate to send a black secretary of state out to hustle tricks on the mean streets of New York. So why not turn out Condi to peddle their third war? She’s blacker and looks better in mesh stockings.
Would this strike the boys in the pimpmobile as a little too raw even for them? Nah, nothing is that raw. Turns out they just didn’t want to remind us tricks of the last time we fell for the same Murphy game.
I think you're being very disrespectful. To pimps.

Damn right, Proving that "It's Hard out here for a Pimp" didn't win that Oscar by accident. Karl Rove’s handwriting is all over that fancy move.
I agree Rove was the director on this. And he has gotten smarter. He knew back in 2003 people would believe what they said. Now he realized most people will start listening from a position of skepticism or downright disbelief.
And the evidence this time is no more sound than last time.
