Letters on Bush, 9/11 commission, and Iraq war debate
A submission from Susan Mohler and others criticizes President Bush for stonewalling the 9/11 commission, jokes about weapons searches, and calls for a regime change. The letters question U.N. involvement, argue the Iraq war hinged on faulty WMD claims, and urge renewed focus on Afghanistan and al Qaeda.
Exit strategy and calls to fire Bush aides
The piece blasts Powell Rumsfeld Cheney and Rice in harsh terms, arguing for Bush’s firing and a wholesale reevaluation of Iraq policy. It accuses Rice of revealing a classified PDB title, labels the administration’s pre 9/11 intelligence failures as stupidity, and urges a world summit, withdrawal from Iraq if needed, and a public apology to regain trust. It frames the president as unable to fire for re election and calls for accountability from key officials.
