Feith Defends Rice’s Pre-War ‘Mushroom Cloud’ Claim On Iraq: It Was Neither A ‘Gaffe’ Nor A ‘Lie’»

feith543.jpg On CNN on Sept. 8, 2002, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice infamously warned — incorrectly — that Saddam Hussein may be close to producing a nuclear weapon. When asked how “close” Saddam was to “developing a nuclear capacity,” Rice replied:

RICE: The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

As a push for action against Iraq, she added, “How long are we going to wait to deal with what is clearly a gathering threat against the United States, against our allies and against his own region?”

Over at the Corner today, Douglas Feith attempts to defend this statement. “Rice’s reference to the mushroom cloud has been widely denounced as a gaffe or a lie,” he writes. “But it was neither.” From his post:

Rice was highlighting the limits of U.S. intelligence. While emphasizing the disparate estimates about how close Saddam was to a nuclear bomb, Rice was saying that the CIA would not necessarily know when Saddam acquired one.

She was warning that we might not learn this until after a detonation. This was an important and accurate statement. … Rice deserves credit for stressing here the gaps and uncertainties in U.S. intelligence.

While there were gaps in U.S. intelligence, the administration repeatedly chose the interpretation that was the most favorable to its case for war. In fact, almost a year before her 2002 interview, Rice’s staff “had been told that the government’s foremost nuclear experts seriously doubted that the tubes were for nuclear weapons.”

Additionally, as Michael Isikoff and David Corn wrote in “Hubris,” speechwriter Michael Gerson — who came up with the phrase — clearly intended the metaphor to be used to sell the American public on the alleged nuclear danger of Saddam. It was also used by President Bush on Oct. 7, 2002, not to debate intelligence gaps, but to push for war:

Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof — the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud. … Understanding the threats of our time, knowing the designs and deceptions of the Iraqi regime, we have every reason to assume the worst, and we have an urgent duty to prevent the worst from occurring.

So according to Feith, whenever U.S. intelligence officials are unsure of how great a threat a country poses, the United States should just attack anyway?

    Okay, so we know wingnuts grasp this logic inherently.

    Can anyone explain to me why they wouldn’t also grasp the logic of:

    The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly human activity is affecting the climate. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a global catastrophe.

    _______________________________________________

    Yes.

    People don’t seem to understand just how important it is that we attack other countries. Every president needs to be at war. It gives him propaganda to catapult, and a ready-made excuse for any item on his agenda — “there’s a war on.”

    /snark off


  4. nofltwlt Says:

    Feith can only save is own sorry ass by proping up others who are equally guilty and complicit in leading us into Bush’s boutique war.


  5. PatrioticLiberalChristian Says:

    The two Rice statements were not a gaffe, but intentional.
    The two Rice statements were not technically lies, but their use as hysteria producing propoganda meant to sell the product of attacking Iraq was immoral.

    Oh, and Feith probably does not have a positive relationship with morality.

    So by that logic we need to immediately invade every country where our intelligence is “uncertain” concerning nuclear weapons. Which of course would be every country on the planet that we can’t completely trust.

    See this is exactly how I live my life. It’s one long, nonstop killing spree. I just kill and kill and kill again. Welcome to the neighborhood - KNITTING NEEDLE TO THE THROAT! What time is it? Why it’s half-past SPEAR GUN TO THE CROTCH!

    Why? Well, how am I supposed to know who wants to kill me and who doesn’t? It’s safer for me, AND my family, if I just kill abaolsutely anyone who comes into contact with me. You JUST NEVER KNOW.

    And if you have a problem with it, then you, obviously, would give comfort to my enemies, whoever they’re not, and now, you’re on the list, pal.

    It kills me. How come all these Gung-ho warmongers never put their own asses on the line? In a Karmiclly correct world, Feith would be serving in Sadr City for the next….oh 20 years…alone…with a kick me sign on his back.


  10. gitrdone Says:

    So simply put, according to their logic, why didn’t we invade N.Korea? They HAVE nuclear weapons! Of course, we had to invade the country which was the least challenging and the least threatening, but with so much of that sweet sweet crude.

    Taking your logic even further, we should invade Israel, India and Russia as well, right?


  12. DwH Says:

    Neither a gaffe, nor a lie, it was fearmongering motivated by political considerations.

    Lost somewhere in this discussion has been one of the major motivations for the push to war: to ensure a one-party nation.

    This was part of an attempt to intimidate the American people into supporting the republican president and Congress.

    You know what? It was a lie. And Feith is a liar. See Iran-Contra.


  13. RantingTommy Says:

    When your political base is mostly made up of ignorant cowards and greedy thieves, you have to constantly play the fear card.

    Doesn’t anyone remember how quickly the ‘terror alert’ color code system was shelved after the 2004 elections?

    Republicans depend on the ignorance and cowardice of their base. They are easier to terrorize that way.

    The Chimpy administration in a nutshell ; they want to be lavished with praise constantly , regardless of the dubious nature behind it , and to never be confronted when horribly wrong (which , as it turns out , is every g-damn time)……How personally convenient.

    You know, I’m pretty sure that my next door neighbor may or may not have a gun. I know he beats his wife and kids. And yesterday, some guy drove by and threw a brick thru my window.
    So, I’m gonna go kill my neighbor. His wife and family will greet me as a liberator and with flowers and a nice home-cooked meal.
    As for the guy who threw the brick? Well, he’s not important.

    I find it hard to believe our country lacks adequate intelligence on Mideast countries.


  18. A Patriot Acting Says:

    Attacking a country because our intel tells us they “MIGHT” be a threat (despite a huge pile of evidence that they are not)explains quite a bit about this Administration’s approach towards Iran.

    “Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

    It really says alot about just how uneducated Americans are about what really happened to this day.



  30. Guido the Loving OBGYN Says:

    To clarify, if Bush/Cheney admitted that they knew the differences between Shiite and Sunni they would have been forced to admit there would never be peace and democracy between the two. Willfull ignorance, still being perpetuated by liars like Rice and Feith.


  31. DRxJ Says:

    The following quote (which is in bold) is technically neither a gaffe, or a lie, but rather misleading:
    RICE: The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

    Well, truth is, we certainly don’t want the smoking gun to be an atomic bomb detonated on our homeland.

    But what should have been added to prevent the falsehood of it:
    As of now, we have gathered no proof that he has acquired, or will be able to acquire, nuclear weapons. But, because we are already committed to engagement of battle, and because our interests include OIL and MONEY, not humanity, we will go ahead and begin an illegal occupation, all the while pretending that it is justified, and occasionally throwing in the smoke and mirrors of “connection to 9/11″, to further our agenda of a New World Order in the Middle East.
    Thank you, and God Bless George Bush.

    misshusseinmolly @ #3:

    People don’t seem to understand just how important it is that we attack other countries.

    Or, in the words that Jonah Goldberg (another Corner denizen) puts it:

    I’ve long been an admirer of, if not a full-fledged subscriber to, what I call the “Ledeen Doctrine.” … “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.”

    It’s a solidly-established neocon tradition.


  35. robbez_92107 Says:

    …and Tommy Franks looks like a genius AGAIN!


  36. StratRat Says:

    So according to Feith, whenever U.S. intelligence officials are unsure of how great a threat a country poses, the United States should just attack anyway?

    Yes…That was the determination of the brightest minds the Bush administration could come up with. Of course, all those brightest minds need to get back to their real jobs as ’sandwich artists’ at Subway.


  37. Fool Zero Says:

    [Phooey, another typo! I started to say “in the words that Goldberg attributes to Ledeen” but the sentence got away from me. Sorry!]


  38. robbez_92107 Says:

    “pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall”

  42. Shayne Says:

    Sure barackocarter, let’s just sacrifice whatever is left of our reputation and economic stability to protect Israel. Then again maybe you folks who thin Israels well being is more important than that of the USA need to move to Israel and protect it from within.


  43. upside99 Says:

    Sorry Brackometer, but last I checked, there were no Iraqi involved in the 9/11 attacks and the only terrorists in Iraq came after we illegally invaded and occupied a sovereign nation.

    That damn home schooling is leaking through again.

    They’ll be defending the lies for the rest of their lives. Some may be doing it from a cell, some from a remote island, some from the asylum to which they are assigned, but they will all be defending their lies until death. They will always reiterate how it was the right thing to do, contrary to all facts and outcomes.


  45. StratRat Says:

    If barackocarter posts anything, presume it is based on an email he received this morning from another BushButt Sniffer.

    To it’s thinking, our 4000+ dead is ok because Saddam and his sons are dead. So to the homeschooled sh!thead, three dead nobodies are worth the lives of 4000+ of your brothers, sisters, fathers, husbands, sons, daughters, wives, cousins, boyfriends, etc…

    Go away and do something good for the country.


  46. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    The bottome line is this: Bush wanted to go to war with Iraq and it was up to his people to figure out how to accomplish his mission. Period.

    ______________________________
    Very well, thank you for asking. Many supporters of terror (starting with Hussein and his sons) have been captured, tried and executed by Iraq’s new democratic government, a democracy has taken the place of a brutal dictatorship in the Middle East, casualties are down dramatically since the surge, roadside bombing has decreased, and Iraqi security forces are steadily taking charge of more and more of Iraq’s 18 provinces (Anbar province is being turned over this week, making it the 10th of Iraq’s 18 provinces to be turned over to control of Iraqi security forces). Allow the process to be completed and Iraqi security forces will be in charge of 18 of 18 in due course. Then, it will be time to bring the rest of the troops home and give them a heroes welcome.

    “Allow the process” and “due course” , eh Chimpy Adoration Brigade president ?

  50. kraftysue Says:

    Never forget the Office of Special Plans, created in Sept.02 in Rumsfeld’s office and run by Wolfowitz and Feith. The OSP lied and manipulated intelligence to further its agenda of removing Saddam. In my opinion, they created the now known to be false intelligence and planted it with different intell. agencies so that the Administration could easily say this intelligence is thought to be true by all the intell. agencies.

    A good example of circular intelligence and the Bushies all can claim clean hands.

    How is it that the same people who think it is justifiable to detain all the brown people we want as enemy combatants with no chance to defend themselves turn around and then pretend to care about the well being of the Iraqi people against insurgents. Oh they don’t, just like their leaders all they care about is oil contracts. Well at $4.30 per gallon how is that oil thing working for you knuckle dragging backwards neothugs and how long are you going to go on supporting these criminals against your own best interests? Now I’m talking to you backwoodscarter.


  55. StratRat Says:

    I won’t cut and paste the sh!theads passages, but the entire time we have been ‘purging’ in Iraq should have allowed for the political reconciliation to take place. It has not taken place. Until the Iraqis can handle their own internal squabbles, our brave souls will be in the line of fire; but that won’t bother our brave sh!thead, as it is safe and sound under its bed. A true coward, to be sure.

    All the ‘temporary’ firefights which go our way pale in comparison to the overall need for the Iraqi government to stand on its own - but Bush will never allow that as we want their oil. Any discussion which doesn’t incorporate our demand for their oil is a waste of time. That’s why we invaded, right troll?


  56. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    Why do trolls seem to think that if they adopt a new troll name, they’ll have a better grasp of facts?

    It never works out that way.

    Oh, but there I go, trying to attribute normal evidence-based cognitive function to our trolls.


  57. Shayne Says:

    6 years backwoods that’s all it took for us to get these favorable results. That is if you can believe results given to us by this corrupt administration. Then again we won the Revolutionary War in not too much more time than that. And what exactly top we have to show for it besides a disgusting reputation as torturers and a three trillion dollar deficit? You tell us backwoods, what will we have gained?

    Agreed. And since neither Iran’s President nor the Mullahs in charge of Iran’s military have any intention of wiping Israel off the map, a strategic strike on Iran will be completely unnecessary.

  62. Keith Says:

    Another alternative would have been to allow weapons inspectors into Iraq and give them free access to look anywhere they or the Bush administration wanted. But that happened! They inspected hundreds of sites. There was nothing there. They and the Bush administration did not know where else to look. The administration ordered them out.


  63. Keith Says:

    The problem with Saddam representing Hitler in an analogy is who is the US representing? A country that has thousands of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons compared to zero. A country that spends 500 times as much on its military as Nazi Germany. Germany with no air force nor navy and two-thirds of its country controlled by the US and Britain?

  66. flavorino Says:

    Facing clear evidence of peril,
    LIE, plain and simple. The job of Feith and the chickenhawk neocons and trolls is to pile on enough bulls*** so that these facts are buried under it.
    1.) The big oil companies are close to being back in Iraq after being kicked out by Sadaam 30 years ago.
    2.) Oil profits are at record highs, as a matter of fact they are currently the largest corporate profits in the history of man.
    3.) Condi Rice was on the board of Chevron and we all know about the Bush family’s oil connections and Cheney’s secret energy meeting with the maps of Iraqi oil fields. Those fields contain that sweet crude that the world is currently craving.
    4.) NO WMD’s in Iraq, however you will find them in Pakistan (remember that fellow Bin Laden?..and his friends in the Pakistani intelligence service?) and North Korea.

    These facts are the reason neocons and trolls need to manufacture mountains of bullsh**s 24/7.


  67. pete Says:

    sayI only have two questions.

    1. Is someone actually paying the “stupidest (%#% on the planet” for his opinion?

    2. If a hostile country tried to build a bomb, someone would have to refine the uranium (or plutonium if they have the proper reactor). A uranium bomb would take hundreds, or thousands, of tons of ore. A plutonium bomb would result in tens-hundreds of tons of highly radioactive waste material. Here’s the question.

    Would it not be nearly inconceivable to conceal either operation?


  68. pete Says:

    Oops! That should read “Say. I have two questions.”
