Keep Your Tinfoil Hats Tightly Secured

The left is sinking into the realm of conspiracy theories in several attempts to discredit the current administration. Among the loony theories:

  • President Bush knew about 9/11 before hand

  • Saddam's capture was timed to maximize embarrassment to the Dems

  • Osama's whereabouts are known and the administration is waiting

  • The Bush administration "announced it in January [2003] to the Republican leadership that the war was going to take place and was going to be good politically"


  • What you should be surprised about is that the believers of such theories come from the established Democratic ranks: Madeline Albright, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Washington), Howard Dean (Dem presidential candidate nominee), Sen. Edward Kennedy, respectively. The Washington Times does a quick rundown of the Dem disintegration into conspiracy theories and "paranoia".

    UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds has some more on the tinfoil brigade.
