Detroit Reporter for FOX NEWS2 says * Lied to the World about Iraq War
The weapons of mass destruction lies are thoroughly documented. UN weapons inspectors came up empty-handed and our own multibillion dollar search yielded nothing. It's abundantly clear intelligence was shaped and distorted to create the myth of Saddam's weapons. No serious person believes otherwise.

Now, we have the first document proving Bush had Iraq in his crosshairs and was committed to "regime change" removed from any factual findings. His public posture that he longed for peace was a damnable lie. (Emphasis added)

A Blair foreign police adviser, Matthew Rycroft, incorporated the minutes of the meeting in a memorandum described as "extremely sensitive." The document shows Bush and Blair had already decided to go to war in Iraq a year before the invasion.

All the subsequent moves -- asking for a UN Security Council resolution, more weapons inspections, Bush's speeches to Congress and the case he presented to the American people -- were all ruses, hollow lies. He and his buddy Blair were already committed to war and their words in public were meaningless. The die was cast.

5. Apparently still keeping their lips firmly afixed to Boy Blunder's ass
They have lots at stake in continuing the illusion just like Junior does. They eagerly joined in regurgitating the White House lies and propaganda to start a war. If they admit now it was all bullshit from the getgo, it just shows them up for what they really are, the official propaganda arm of the coporate establishment and not the diligent, hard working, protectors of the public interest, uncoverers of corruption and seekers after truth like they pretend to themselves to be. Fuck 'em.

13. "But I do predict that 2005 will be a year of enlightenment for all of us.
Edited on Mon May-09-05 06:32 PM by understandinglife
We'll know and understand more about the mess George W. Bush has wrought and the readers of the Niagara Falls Reporter will be way out in front."

More from Bill Gallagher -- written on Dec 28 2004 -- here's the link:

http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/gallagher195.html

And, here's one more tantalizing tidbit:

"But the man behind the curtain of fascism -- White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, who wrote legal briefs enabling torture and, in effect, declaring the president is a king -- will become Attorney General of the United States.

Instead he should be facing indictment, imprisonment and disbarment. He's a first-rate toady and third-rate legal mind, but rises to undeserved respectability as a devoted, professional Bush loyalist, who will say and write anything to please the boss. Lawyers who take their oaths seriously should be outraged!

Democrats in the Senate will be politically correct, roll over and allow the confirmation of a man whose wanted poster should hang outside every respectable court of international justice."


You'll love the bit on Condi, as well.........

11. Gallagher has felt contempt for bush for a long, long time.
I recognize the name. Gallagher is intelligent and he's articulate and he crafts an excellent argument, which is precisely why most of the American public pays very little or no attention to Gallagher. Why listen to the truth when the world's biggest dog and pony ... er, dog and horse show is going on at the White House?

17. Excellent! I'm trying to change the terminology.
Tony and W's lil gentlemans agreement was an illegal treaty as soon as they implemented it.

That's at least Contempt Of Congress, Possibly perjery and Perhaps Sedition.

This folks truly should be front page news.

19. From the memory hole.

"Saddam Hussein has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours."
Powell in Cairo on February 24, 2001

"We are able to keep his arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."
Condoleeza Rice, April 2001

21. LESS than 6 months later they flip flopped.
Edited on Mon May-09-05 09:29 PM by bvar22
..."seven months before 9/11, George Tenet testified before Congress that Iraq posed no immediate threat to the United States."

"in a Feb. 12, 2001 interview with the Fox News Channel Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said: “Iraq is probably not a nuclear threat at the present time.”

"...intelligence reports released by the CIA and more than 100 interviews top officials in the Bush administration, such as Secretary of State Colin Powell, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, gave to various Senate and Congressional committees and media outlets prior to 9-11 show that the U.S. never believed Saddam Hussein to be an imminent threat other than to his own people."

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0306/S00211.htm


and this:

" And frankly they (the UN Sanctions) have worked. He (Saddam) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors." Colin Powell Feb 24, 2001

"But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let's remember that his country is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt." ---Condoleezza Rice on CNN July 29, 2001

http://www.thememoryhole.org/war/powell-no-wmd.htm



The last quote from Condoleeza Rice is from July 29th, 2001. In this statement, the National Security Adviser of the United States openly admits that containment and sanctions was a successful policy that prevented Saddam from re-arming.
This is less than SIX WEEKS before 9-11.

All of a sudden, these people ALL changed their positions 180 degrees.
They gave no explanations for the reversals of their assessments. They offered no additional evidence.
In fact, they didn't even acknowledge that they had NEW positions on Saddam and WMDs.
And NATURALLY, the CorpoMedia conveniently forgot to ask them.



I am a liberal Democrat because I am cursed with a memory!

25. He's written some good stuff in the Niagara Falls Reporter!
The local Fox 2 reporting in Detroit is often much better than the other stations- Channel 7 has Preacher Frank give sermon/editorials about Jebush the savior.
