Wesley Clark on N. Korea
Edited on Sun Jul-27-03 09:22 PM by Catch22Dem
"But I would say this, that the Bush administration refused to acknowledge the problem and concealed the problem from other government agencies, like the Congress, and the American people until after they had the Iraq resolution passed last year...And then they downplayed the problem throughout the time they've been involved in Iraq because it doesn't fit their strategy." said Clark, a possible presidential candidate in 2004.

1. And I was just about to make the same point!

And I was wondering how to get the media to start looking at it. Thanks, Wes.

Last year aWol's gang of traitors found out about the NK hanky panky, a REAL and an IMMINENT national security challenge, weeks BEFORE the war vote.

Then they WITHHELD that information until AFTER the vote. Then a week or two later they announced it. Obviously, wide Congressional and public knowledge would have threatened their juggernaught of intimidation and deceit.

So, better to keep the country in the dark about TRUE threats, in order to pursue the FALSE threat they were busy creating.

Is it a lie? Is it deceptive? Is sinning by omission?

Whatever, it is certainly another log on the fire around their feet.


(I say "wide knowledge" because there's always the chance that they may have told a few greybeards in Congress under very strict confidentiality. Often admins do that.)

3. Double *sigh*...
I would dearly love to vote for this ticket!

Our enemies would be smote, and our way made bright and clear.
