Media forgets Bush -in writing - lied to Congress, saying Iraq aided 911?
Bush tells Congress Iraq aided 911 terrorists, knowing it was lie - indeed a brazen lie that he and the DOD - but not Fox or the Statemen or Mr. Faithe - have said was a lie. Has our media forgotten that Bush signed this letter?

Presidential Letter - Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate

March 18, 2003

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President

Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that:

(1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other
peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and

(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is
consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Sincerely,

GEORGE W. BUSH

1. Send it around--maybe to Joe Conasan or someone
like him--not straight to the general media, who will flush it. It has to be made into a big stink elsewhere before the so called mainstream media catches on.
