    Simpler Times

    “I was at the Council on Environmental Quality during this episode,” says Perino. Translation: “Don’t blame me. I wasn’t working here then.”

    May 2003 "Mission Accomplished" was such a simpler time:

    -Back when we’d begun the “search for hidden chemical and biological weapons and already [knew] of hundreds of sites that will be investigated.”

    -Back when there was a “coalition” that would “stay until our work is done. Then we will leave, and we will leave behind a free Iraq.”

    -Back when Iraq was “an ally of al Qaeda” and “a source of terrorist funding.”

    Ah, yes, such simpler times.
