A quick and not at all thorough glance tells me that (like Scott McMoonface's confession) there isn't much new stuff there. The fact that the Bush administration committed fraud on this country is easily documented by available public record statements and documents, and has been for years.
What is significant is that it came out of the senate, and that Olympia Snowe and Chuck Hagel approved it. Just as Scottie's book is significant because he's the first of the Texas loyalists to confirm pretty much everything every former administration member has said over the last 7 years.
I really think the only way to drive home the point that fucking Bush and Rummy and Cheney and Wolfie have killed tens of thousands of people because they WANTED TO, and not due to any actual threat against this country, would be full-on impeachment hearings for Bush and Cheney, and fraud prosecutions for the others.
Not going to happen though.
From around the intertubes:
Balloon Juice:
“Shorter Phase II Intelligence Report- the dirty fucking hippies were right about everything.”
Think Progress notes that Bush's claim of credibility on this issue is somewhat undermined by the report:
Q: Can you explain why you believe you’re still a credible messenger on the war?
BUSH: I’m credible because I read the intelligence, David.
To which Atrios responds:
Also undermines claim that he's not a sociopath who lied to bring the country into a war which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
Just sayin'.
