04/09/2004: "Lileks on Rice testimony"

Another Lileks gem: (link active 4/9)
Another Lileks gem: (link active thereafter ... I think)

Listened to Dr. Rice’s testimony today.... But the 9/11 commission has changed my view of the administration. I now believe that if Al Gore had been president, he would have invaded Afghanistan right away, fortified the cockpit doors, issued an executive order that made the CIA and FBI share intel, grounded all planes the moment “chatter” started mentioning “a winged victory, like the bird of righteousness,” and subjected all young Arab males to full-body searches in airports. Pakistan would have come around to our point of view right away.

Political proof by contradiction; proving that "Bush" caused "not prevention" by assuming that "not Bush" would cause "prevention" and finding a contradiction.
