Seeking verification of this rumour
Advertisements [?]
Each day I scour through many news outlets online to check the information that the mainstream propaganda tends not to show or show months later. I came across this piece last week...and had to tell myself that this was only a rumour not yet verified by multiple sources (necessary for increased validity of a source).

David Wiggins, a Conscientious Objector, writes a few articles for lewrockwell. Yes, I know it's a conservative website but I appreciate their antiwar and antineocon contents, even though I disagree vehemently with their local politics. His latest article stated that David heard from a "reliable inside source in the govt/army administration" that Bush made a comment the same day he went to the St Louis Cardinals' homeopener. Basically, it went like this: Bush was asked about the shortage of equipment for the US troops in Iraq...according to Wiggins' source, Bush hesitated before smirking and reliving Marie Antoinette, "Let them eat lead". Well, if this was ever confirmed and put out for everyone to see...a hell of a shitestorm, for sure. Anyway, I went back last weekend to reread this article...but it was no longer on the archives. I thought perhaps this article was retracted due to it being unverified or proven false. However, this morning, I checked google, and found this:



'Let Them Eat Lead' by David Wiggins
'Let Them Eat Lead'. by David Wiggins by David Wiggins. ... According to this official,
President Bush hesitated for a second, then smirked, "Let them eat lead.". ...

Do you think this page not appearing is due to retraction or due to threats of legal action or due to threats via censorship or due to hacking?
