The media's dangerous game of intentionally fighting and spinning everything the President does for our protection, just to get him out of power, will eventually come back to bite them in the posterior.
..and it will hurt us and our safety...
Gorelick strikes again?
The media couldn't report the truth to save their sorry hides. Now they are flat out making things up. I remember stuff Bush said in the lead up to War.
I remember him saying that Saddam had a connection to terrorists. Which he did, the two terrorist training camps they found in Iraq are pretty good evidence of that. Not to mention is payouts to those families of suicide bombers (wonder how much of that UN oil for food scandal money went to that) I don't recall, however, Bush coming out everyday and saying al Qaeda, as the media now seems to be claiming. As a matter of fact, when the media misrepresented what Cheney said that time about terrorists and 9-11, Bush was the one saying that there was no direct evidence between Saddam and 9-11. He said that several times. He did mention...as did Commision, that Saddam had one of his intel officers meet with an al Qaeda higher up. And it is interesting how the 9-11 commision has failed to address the incident in Jordan. You know, the one where they stopped a chemical WMD attack that could have killed thousands. Jordan's govt. showed a tape on tv on one of the captured terrorists stating how they were trained in Iraq before the war. Of course if the commision did that they would have point out the high possibility that those chemicals, which had been brought into Jordan from Syria, could have been taken into Syria from Iraq. I'm sure their excuse would be that they are just concerned with 9-11 and not Iraq....which would not explain why they are constantly bringing up Iraq.
They are playing politics...with American Lives. If that whore Gorelicked and her commission pals are allowed to keep this up...they will reach their intended goal of helping their pal Kerry get elected. And more Americans will get killed.
I know that 9/11/01 is fast becoming ancient history, but as I remember things, we went to war in Afghanistan, not Iraq as a direct result of 911. Iraq is certainly an extension of that same policy, but for the media, you'd think Afghanistan did not exist.
Has the panel ever called Richard Miniter?
I need a slightly better article than this to send my mom. She's a potential first time GOP voter. But stuff like this needs to be countered, and I am afraid this article doesn't do it sharply enough. I shall scour FR for a suitable essay today, so long as "work" doesn't get in the way.
The media went beyond spinning this story, they have completely lied about it. The reporting was disgraceful.
Look at it this way, when most folks find out what we already know, the commission's toast. The truth will out.
I remind people that Bush went out there and said "Iraq, Iran, North Korea" then promptly invaded Afghanistan. Kind of like invading Germany after Pearl Hrbor.
Ping me when you find it, I'll do the same.
The pressitutes and propagandist don't care how many Americans are slaughtered by these terrorist as long as it oust Dubya and returns power to the RATS. Technically you could call them traitors.
Bush's first SOTU speech was in 2002. We invaded Afghanistan in Oct. 2001.
Oops, you're right. Thanks for the correction.
Without even looking at your link, I know I need to get that book. I'd read some of the pre-release reviews/summaries. Thanks for the reminder.
The Al Quida - Iraq connection was not a lie, it was based on the best information available at the time.
I was not supportive of the resumption of war with Iraq, but now that we are there I will support every aspect of it until we are able to honorably (not the peace with honor of Viet Nam) withdraw and leave the new Iraq able to defend its self.
