Bush WH removed all the Iraq stories
from the WH website. Does anyone else remember how they even blocked Google to cache the information?

Some ammo for Kerry to put Bush on the defensive.

2. How would Kerry use this as "ammo"?
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 06:15 PM by SeveneightyWhoa
Kerry: "So Mr. Bush thinks he can take things off the White House website? Bring it on!"

Bush Campaign Response: "This isn't about the internet -- which, if you remember, Kerry's pal Al Gore claims to have invented -- our campaign wants to focus on the future!"

3. If you go to www.whitehouse.gov, then click
on "Iraq" on the left column, you get this:

Were you looking for something else?
