Memo confirms Bush duped U.S. into war; MSM: So what? (dialup warning)
Edited on Tue Mar-28-06 02:13 PM by quiet.american

Granted, it's completely predictable -- no mention anywhere on the front pages of the "lib'rul media" in reference to the NYT story "Bush Was Set on Path to War." Shouldn't the following from yesterday's story at least merit a few mentions?:


....The memo also shows that the president and the prime minister acknowledged that no unconventional weapons had been found inside Iraq. Faced with the possibility of not finding any before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Mr. Hussein.

Those proposals were first reported last month in the British press, but the memo does not make clear whether they reflected Mr. Bush's extemporaneous suggestions, or were elements of the government's plan.


Homepages of "the lib'rul media" today

("lib'rul media" being defined by the usual suspects as anything other than FAUX NEWS):

1. Great timing on the Card Shuffle, eh?
Give it time. I think most Americans are aware of the bait and switch by now. At least 60%+.

2. That's what I was thinking, too.
And yesterday, the "bombshell" was about Moussaoui's confession to planning to attack the WH (duh); all the frontpages were dedicated to that. What's tomorrow's "bombshell" from the WH press release going to be, I wonder.
