Article Claims Obama Administration invaded Iraq

[JI7]

was written by Robert Baer for Time Magazine . the gaddafi thing makes no sense either as it was the people of the country who rose up against him. i thought this guy had some crediblity but that's a pretty big thing to get wrong .


<If you want to know what’s going through the mind of the North Korean regime, go back to the murder of Muammar Gaddafi. The way the North Koreans look at it, Gaddafi gave up his nuclear bomb, and lost his head. The lesson of Saddam Hussein’s end is another cautionary tale for the North Koreans. If Saddam had held onto his weapons of mass destruction–and lots of them–the Obama Administration would have had second thoughts about invading his country. Or so I’m told by a former CIA colleague, and one of the best-informed North Korean watchers around. >

1. What a terribly terribly written article. Ugh.

13. It's not just badly written. It's flat out wrong. n/t

2. People are AWAKE! The comments on this...

...article are great. Many call out the author and Time for trying to rewrite history. Love it!

[JI7]

3. yeah, just started to see the comments, they are the best part

of this whole thing.

[YvonneCa]

7. They are. Now I'm wondering if the error...pretty flagrant error...

...was on purpose or not. Editors should have caught it, even if no one else did.

[JI7]

8. that's the thing that gets me, it's such a major thing

i was wondering if i was reading it wrong and he was trying to say something else. and it's not just some random blog but Time Magazine and Robert Baer is the writer. first the writer gets it wrong and even the editors don't notice it ?

the rest of the article is crap also because we didn't invade libya either .

[YvonneCa]

11. It's good you posted it here...

...so it will be seen. I am comforted, too, by the comments calling Time out for their mistake.

4. Time needs to retract the entire article and apologize.

And Robert Baer needs to be blacklisted by the nonfiction publishing world.

5. I agree. and so should all readers and responsible Press.

6. Damn. Wonder who persuaded them to print such tripe? n/t

9. Now that is rewriting history.

[Thinkingabout]

10. As a RWer told me a few times the reason GWB invaded Iraq was because the Democrats voted

For him to do so. After this happened a few times I reminded him of Gingrich and Hassert was repubs and by the time Polesi was speaker for Iraq and was already invaded. They can't stand it when Democrats do the right thing and the lying repubs are wrong.

so who cares what anyone did in the past.

16. That's fine, I like the exposure the corporate media is getting

over being honest about re-writing history to benefit the BFEE. KKKarl Rove is probably proud. I hope it makes more people go WTF!?!?!
