Oooohhh, sorry I meant Tucker.

Whoopsie.

Another DU thread rumors that he will appear in the 8:00 PM time slot now occupied by Countdown.

That's what I've been calling him. Guess I need to get my hearing checked. :sarcasm:

zealot who supports W cares a whit.

The people who supported * whose kid, dad, brother, etc. died for a pack of manipulated lies.

is illegal, they are truly ideologues/zealots who have been blinded by the right.

THEY HAVE TO PAY!!!!

Oh BABY

(Page A18, which SUCKS)

points up the complicity of the press. it's not a "nefarious" oversight by the newspaper -- it's just the "Dramatic Arc." this needs to be said -- it's in their stylebook. managing editors budget pages according to the "narrative" of the day. the arc of our national debate. now it's our turn to BLOW THIS UP. NOW WE ARE YELLING -- hey! WARCRIMES! you can't say we've "had our accountability moment" when warcrimes are in the offing. this story is moving on up the page count!

look for tie-ins, sidebars to this story and use the damn 391 press contacts... lemme see if i can find the link...

this is from back during the election. just use it so grab addresses and send your thoughts to EVERYONE.

WARCRIMES, ya'll. damn, this is BIG.

"the intelligence was fixed."

"the American people aren't buying it". Lovely

Clearly there is one network news person capable of reading. Is this all there was?

(reccommended btw... this deserves to go right to top)

Removing Saddam? He was on his last legs a year before the invasion. He's gone, but we're building permanent military bases... We're done, come home, no oil to worry about here... Leave the nice country to it's citizens...

they did it. Heh heh.

they HAVE to know that. it's a LOSER's move in the extreme. who IS that guy, anyway? tucker replacement?

:)

Cute. ;)

the election decided it. The presenter was really angry, demanding to know why this was only on page 18 of the Wash Post and said right out that Bush lied us into war.

I'll bet he isn't invited back onto CNN. I'm surprised a big hook didn't come from the side and pull him off the set if this was live. I wonder if it WAS live.

Thanks, dzika!

Will recommend if it isn't too late.

I loved the "sorry!" at the end.

He knows it, they know it, we know it. We've got 'em.

And that little twerp couldn't find a single argument to defend it. "The American people voted overwhelmingly to re-elect *"?

OVERWHELMINGLY???? Oh, REEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY.

winning by two percent (if he did) overwhemingly.

Gee, for the life of me, I can't recall any stories or ads or anything else about this newly-released memorandum. As I recall the media was too wrapped up trying to figure out if the Swift Boat Liars were a pack of liars or not and re-hashing irrelevancies from 35 years ago. I'm pretty sure I'd remember the same wall-to-wall coverage focusing on Bush's lies prior to launching his illegal invasion of Iraq.

What a pantload.

Curious, though, that Crossfire now figures it's safe to tell the truth since the show is about to go off the air anywho. Reminds me of the Kent Brockman sequence on The Simpsons when it looks like Earth is doomed and he announces that they're going to cover all the stories they've been sitting on: "The following people . . . are gay," followed by a huge crawl of teeny writing.

That's a huge difference.

who were kept from knowing the truth about the Bush's war, by Bush's personal participation in the effort to deceive them.

It's not something Chimpy can push off onto his underlings. He above all others knew that the war was a fixed goal and that the "intelligence" would be fixed, had been fixed, to fit that goal at his order.

And then he ran on his fraudulent war record, now revealed as a record of warcrime.

if not something worse of committing treason by unlawfully declaring war and misleading the congress and the American people.

It might be a good idea to provide him with more than a "handful" of complaints about the lack of coverage of a High Crime perpetrated by this band of cowards and crooks.

:kick:

Just a single sentence- a "yay" or a "nay?"

Too much to ask I guess- I wouldn't want them to get their fingernails dirty or anything.

not that cojones is the problem....

I've already done this- but yes, it wont hurt to keep begging the high-profile Democrats like Dean or Kerry to say a single sentence- a "yay" a or a "nay" concerning this matter.

we should kick this story for the next 3 years!!!

wouldn't have heard of the memo. And probably 50 of them would have thought we invaded Iraq because of 9/11.
