Oh, yeah, and something about the US and Britain secretly planning in 2002 to attack Iraq, manufacture lies in order to sell the invasion to the public, and discussing ways to circumvent the illegality of the war.
In other words, Richard Clarke and Paul O’Neill were right, but starting a war based on lies as reported and documented by the British press is just too mundane an issue for the media to focus on. I mean, gosh, some chick committed a misdemeanor in faking her abduction to avoid a wedding! And Michael Jackson, why, he’s just loonie!
Of course, the news media stopped being “news” years ago and recently confirmed it when they cut short coverage of a rare Presidential Press Conference in favor of Paris Hilton’s and Donald Trump’s “reality” shows. Gosh, why would a president schedule a prime time press conference on the beginning of sweeps week? A cynic might think he wanted to be cut short when Jeff Gannon and scripted hand-picked town-hall supporters wouldn’t be asking questions.
But you don’t need to be cynical, American public. Bush knows what’s best for you. Sleep tight and enjoy the last four new episodes of “Desperate Housewives”. Allegations about the administration lying in order to send our boys to war is soooo 2003.
