JE: "I read that _The Times_ published a UK Govt memo that showed Bush and
Blair
knew there were no WMDs."
ck: It was in the NYT (front page, online) yesterday, I believe.
thanks, Carol. The memo probably can't be published here -- I think it and
others are under a D-Notice.
ck>A longer feature ran last Sunday. Is there any doubt, any longer, that
Bush was merely looking for reasons to justify a war that he was intent on
having, as the memo says? According to this memo, Bush also considered
"planting" a phony provocation by Saddam--to wit, shoot down an American plane,
but accuse Saddam of the shooting.
JE>I'd read that in our media quite some while before the memos were leaked,
ck>(Q: Is Lawrence reading the media lately, I wonder? Does he believe all
mainstream media is completely without merit, regarding the US invasion of
Iraq, and subsequent war? How has he managed to miss this verification of
earlier suspicions--or does he simply dismiss this memo?)
it probably counts as anti-American.
ck>aka Sneezy
hey sorry. Could be worse, you could be Condy (sorry...) being demonstrated
against over here!
