It's interesting that all the claims by the Bush admin about Hussein are proving true. Even the one they didn't claim concerning Iraq and 9/11 is generating a lot of smoke. You have the recent finds of those supposedly nonexistent wmds in Iraq, claims by Putin that his intel had Hussein ordering terrorist attacks inside the U.S. , Al-Qaeda activity in Iraq, and now the intel confirming Hussein's plans to get nuclear material from Niger. So one would think that these major news items would get headlined in all the Big Media outlets. Well as we all know Big Liberal Media is sitting on all these revelations exonerating Bush and the war because they can't believe Bush is right, and they're wrong. Michael Moore might as well be in charge at the big networks. I'll give ABCess News a pass because they panned his lying flick. A rare acknowledgment of the truth by a liberal media outlet.
Actually, there are two main reasons why the liberal, biased slimebags in the so-called "elite media" will do all they can to smother all of these stories:
1. Ego, the need to be perceived as correct. This is what you mention above as their need to be right, or perceived as being right. After all, they are the elite braniacs and conservatives are the dumbed down results of public education.
2. Power. If these facts (and I emphasize FACTS), get out to even just a few percent of the undecideds, it could easily guarantee the election goes to President Bush. They cannot have that. They would implode. They NEED their power back at any and all costs. That means they will put you and I in harms way just for their power lust.
Unfortunately for them, these FACTS are starting to seep out, drip by drip. As hard as they try, the FACTS are still coming out. The next couple of months may quite possibly prove to be the time that the Democratic party completely went insane (ala ALGORE and DEAN) and began to shrivel up into a whimpering, smelly, sweaty ball of human waste.
Could all these FACTS dripping out now be an extremely well conceived plan by the Bush campaign, that they had a timeline and have stuck with it no matter how bad things looked? Maybe.
But, one thing I have posted for many years here on FR needs repeating now:
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE DEPTHS TO WHICH A LIBERAL WILL GO FOR POWER!!
