I don't think we Republicans should ignore this blatent attempt by the media and the Leftists to bring down Bush. We need to fight this!

It's a briefing paper? That would mean it is someone's view of the facts (or opinion) being given to his superiors. That isn't proof of anything.

[Duke Nukum]

Hasn't regime change been the policy of the United States since 1998?

Do these morans take us for morons?

[Dallas59]

What is the "United Nations"?

[dirtboy]

showed that the prime minister had known, some eight months before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, that a war not authorized by the United Nations would be illegal for British troops to take part in.

Like this makes a lick of sense, given that Blair and Clinton bombed Kosovo and Serbia without UN approval.

[rhc2000]

Wasn't "regime change" the official policy of the United States ever since 1994 or around there?

LET'S SEE THE ACTUAL DOCS.

[Cicero]

This propaganda has already been discredited, even before it started. The British legal adviser said that although a UN resolution gave some legal justification, it was several years old, which put it into question. So they went back to the UN and got a new resolution.

The administration won't get bogged down in arguing over this, so it's up to the internet to straighten it out.

...the now-infamous Downing Street Memo...

Only with the DU and kindred spirits.

[speed_addiction]

When one document does not provide the desired results, dig up or produce another document. SOP for the left wing press.


With Howard Dean the dems have formally graduated from "disarray" to "debacle", with "irretrievable disaster" just around the corner.

Now there's another Downing Street Memo?

This attempt to bring down Bush and Blair has reached the point of parody. It looks contrived, and, frankly, nobody cares about it anymore.

The White House should say nothing more about any of this.

[Bob Eimiller]

Authorization? What by a bunch of UNELECTED despots from tin horn dictatorships "authorizing"???

I don't care to be "authorized" by anyone the American electorate didn't "authorize"!

LET'S SEE THE ACTUAL DOCS.

Microsoft Word with British English default grammar being queued up as we speak...

[Cicero]

The doc was released and discussed yesterday or the day before on one of the blogs. There's a thread here somewhere. The actual text of the memo completely discredits this leftist propaganda.

[Huck]

I don't get it. What's the news in this supposed to be? Now they are gonna get in trouble for making sure it was legal??

[areafiftyone]

LET'S SEE THE ACTUAL DOCS.

Go to RAW STORY for the documents. This is what the MSM is picking up.

[advance_copy]

If you ignore them long enough, they go away.

[Preachin']

They're not real until both Dan Rather and Buckhead agree on them.

[Cicero]

I just did an FR search on "Downing Street memo." There's not one but several recent articles discrediting this story posted here over the past couple of days.
