It has been report by Fox News that Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz. cited an op-ed piece by Elizabeth O’Bagy, a discredited Georgetown University alumna, in The Wall Street Journal in their rush for a military strike in Syria. Specifically, Kerry read a quote from the op-ed in which she wrote
that Islamic extremist factions are not "spearheading the fight against
the Syrian government," but rather that the struggle is being led by
"moderate opposition forces."

Their sloppy research in quoting op-ed rather than facts is reflective of the Bush Administration's rush into the Iraq War. In this latter case Bush's team gave too much credence to a so-called Sadam informant "Curveball" who latter proved to be a liar.
