lost amid the debating
The Washington Post reported today that "the U.S. government and a representative of President Bush's reelection campaign had been heavily involved in drafting the speech given to Congress last week by interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi." I imagine that all of you who criticized Joe Lockhart will be lining up to apologize now that subsequent reporting has proven him correct. It turns out that one of the puppeteers' names is "Dan Senor, former spokesman for the CPA who has more recently represented the Bush campaign in media appearances." I imagine that y'all will also be criticizing the Bushies for demeaning the putatively independent and sovereign Iraqi government by enlisting Allawi in the re-election campaign.
