The definition of groupthink:
A mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action.
Condi now denies it happening with an example of one:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Is it fair -- is that a fair criticism of the Bush White House, particularly in the run-up to the war on Iraq? And could you have done a better job in airing dissenting views on the WMD?
RICE: Oh, we talked a lot about dissenting views. The idea that, somehow, within the Bush White House, there weren't dissenting views during this period of time is simply not true. But the intelligence didn't permit, frankly, much in the way of alternatives for the weapons of mass destruction.
Yeah, Ok Condi.
There was no concerted effort to forge intelligence or justify a war crimes attack of Iraq? Sorry, but weren't born yesterday.
Dick Cheney's White House (you heard me right) got the war he wanted and his various companies made billions off luxurious war contracts.
Everyone involved was a winner except those brave soldiers who lost their lives for the control of Iraq's oil and a strong U.S. presence in the region.
