From a talking head, but no one gives a shit.

Hold on to anger and accomplish not a damn thing. Bon soir.

Bush, in the 'conference', used the excuse that the invasion of Iraq was justified because Iraqis were/are safer w/o Saddam. Tweety showed the footage and asked (all paraphrased obviously)
re WE better off?
Are the facts being manipulated?
How ARE we getting out of Iraq, and was the intel fixed?
Those are great questions. O'Donnell and Fineman both agreed that the DSM question was never answered.

My gripe is, if he's asking those questions, Tweety et al, and these are heavy questions, why isn't he addressing them every day and often?

1. I am surprised he asked them at all

It would be more like Tweety to say "Bush says this is no big deal, let's move on".

2. That was very strange for Chris Matthews to even bother...

Perhaps that means Tweety has more guts than he has let on. Maybe everyone should flood Chris's mailbox and tell him to keep asking the question, it deserves to be asked.

3. Dear Chris

Please answer ONE question:

On January 26, 1998, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Richard Armitage, and John Bolton (among others) signed a letter to President Clinton issued by the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) urging an attack on Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power. All of the aforementioned signators were elevated into the Bush Administration hierarchy immediately after the 2000 Election.

It is obvious that the PNAC-populated White House intended to attack Iraq years before the actual event.

Why isn't the PNAC policy being connected with the Downing Street Minutes?

4. Excellent Letter!!

This war and money was sure for god was it, if you just barely got out of high school and thought that god wanted you to rape the world. :eyes:

5. I really sent it to him too!

This what we should be asking Congress and ALL the media. I started a separate thread to do just that:

6. Thanks, LunaC.

I'm also going to send Matthews my two cents.
