3. WH Response:

"Yes, we read that, and yes, the CIA was right, but they didn't put it in crayon for us. The president is very concerned about that."

Spread this one far and wide, kids.

5. Not Only the CIA....

but DIA, DOS/INE, DOE, and the Intelligence Branch of the Military all warned Bush and the WH way before the war that Saddam was not a threat to the United States....why does this not get mention in the mainstreem media? If this information ever got out then the public would begin to demand impeachment!

6. Seymour Hersh was on the OSP Cabal really early

7. that is why Powell, Rice & Cheney

Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Dick Cheney all said Iraq was contained and not a threat in 2001!

8. Bush to Press at Camp David 9-15-01

"This is an administration that will not talk about how we gather intelligence, how we know what we're going to do, nor what our plans are.".

A pack of lies and red herrings proceeded after that gem of a statement.

Has the 9/11 investigation subpoenaed those Bush briefing papers yet?

9. Bush said he had balked at giving the 9-11 commission the records

of his daily briefings from the CIA until faced with a subpoena threat because it might deter the CIA from giving the president "good, honest information." Wasn't it such "good, honest information" that caused him to miss 9-11 and mobilize the greatest war machine in history against Saddam's empty cupboard?
