Dear Editor,

It is not amnesia that Democrats suffer from. They simply have no effective leadership or a program to be lead.
However Marvin Hoovis claims Democrats accuse the administration of "concocted false information to justify going to war with Iraq" which is both "incorrect and inappropriate". The "facts" to be looked at are that both Democrats and Republicans realize that it has been well established, documented and accepted by persons seeking objective information that Bush, Cheney, and Wolfowitz, etc. all lied, stretched the truth, and/or misinformed.

Back in the 70s Wolfowitz was advocating pre-emption of the oil patch to prevent the Russians from getting it. 9/11 was pounced upon as a reason to not only crush Bin Laden in Afghanistan but to mislead the country into thinking Saddam was in cahoots with him and a real threat to our well being. In fact Saddam and Iraq was in terrible shape.and, being a secular state, was threatened by Bin Laden also.

The entire article is a Karl Rove scenario of "talking points" that have been amplified by Rush Limbaugh, et al to keep the "base" mollified. the Bush lovers also get their spin on events from the Fox News. It is interesting to watch and listen to that crew talk each other into condoning the ruinous policies of the present administration.

Thus we are stuck with both major political parties in trouble. One leaderless and the other mislead.

Don B
