So far over 87,000 DU signatures (which I am sure most DUers signed it multiple times) and the the DU Congressman wants a goal of 250,000. Kerry is going to bring up the Downing Street Memo on Monday on the Senate Floor. Somebody give Conyers and Kerry some work to do because these two idiots need to get a life!

I haven't seen much about the "Downing St. Memo" here at FR. Do we have any research into it's origin. This sounds to me to be all too convenient for the left, ala Dan Blather, Newsweak, etc.

I agree.

Mr. Conyers, of course, has nothing else to do other than to write long screeds that castigate W and his administration in the most useless way. In hindsight, it appears that W was dishonest about WMD. He provides support for a "lie" moniker by continuing to insist that there are.

Mr. Conyers (and others of his ilk) are doing nothing but wasting tax payers money and hoping to grab one second of (apparently) very badly needed attention.

Conyers spends too much of his Tax Payer Time giving interviews to NON-NEWS ANTI-AMERICAN ANTI-BUSH websites like Raw Story and reading love e-mails from DUers!

Most of the websites have reprinted the same thing that The Times Online did. Some have put it in PDF format to look authentic. I can't tell which is and which is not.

Dear Mr. Conyers,

I have Valerie Plame looking into all of this right now and will provide you an answer in 527 days.

Sincerely,

W.

The left just shows again it is ideolgically bankrupt. This is the first salvo in the much anticipated and much predicted "impeach Bush" fight they intend to wage. Having no ideas to advance or anything to offer other than the word "no" where else could they go? Do they really see the President's approval numbers as a sign that the election didn't count? That this issue Bush vis-a-vis Iraq was not presented front and center during the election for the voters to decide upon? Once again the dems show contempt for the electorate.

Moreover, the dems willing accomplices in the MSM sure have been hard at work drumming up the Watergate/60's nostalgia. It is no accident that the MSM has hit the revealing of Deep Throat story so hard. You can bet your boots that they will treat this memo as the next Watergate. You can count the seconds on an egg timer before someone at MSNB.S., CNNB.S., AB.S., NB.S., etc. will be asking the question: "What did the President know and when did he know it?"

There are several problem for the MSM and the dems. First off, the MSM has lost its monopoly. Secondly, the dems don't control congress. In addition, the dems STILL have the problem they had during the election when they made the "Bush lied and people died" charge. John Kerry et. al. saw the same intel as Bush, before Bush, and based on that called for and voted for military action against Iraq.

I want to know, what did John Kerry and the democrats know and when did they know it?

They have sent the Downing Street Memo to all the media outlets - not many have taken the bait.

Oh, but now we have the air thick with memories of the glory days of Watergate, when two super hero journalists took a story that nobody was interested in and pursued it eventually bringing down a President!!!! You can bet your arse that now that those glory days have been recalled someone in the MSM will pick this up and run with it all the way to the goal line.

Of course, there is one Rather interesting thing that could be giving them pause and/or holding them back. Can this memo be authenticated.

WikiPedia has lots of info on this and any reaction from Tony Blair, Jack Straw and Condi Rice: CLICK

When the document was published, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair denied that anything in the memo demonstrated misconduct and said that it added little to what was already known about how British policy on Iraq developed.

And you can bet whoever 'leaked' this document, if it is even real, will be given hero status.

What, may I ask, is the problem with two powerful national leaders planning strategy before they go to their respective congresses or parliaments for authority?

Is Bush supposed to approach the Senate without any forethought as to what he wants to do? I suppose in sKerry's world any President would have to come to the Senate, explain the problem and ask for ideas and suggestions. It's certainly how sKerry would approach any issue, except he'd only listen to RATS.

Maybe what really frosts John Effin's tators is that Bush truly did have a PLAN!

Downing Street Memo in the London Times

Another case of fake, but accurate?
