Have any of you heard the latest "article" that the left is touting?
I just read a portion of it, but cannot believe we would not have heard one peep about a "bombing campaign" before the start of the war if this had really happened.
If anyone has info for me, I need to debunk this on a politics message board I frequent (but really should STOP FREQUENTING, I know) They are calling this a high crime and an impeachable offense, of course.

"September 2002--a month before Congress had voted to give President Bush the authority he used to invade Iraq, two months before the United Nations brought the matter to a vote and more than six months before "shock and awe" officially began...." the US embarked on a massive bombing campaign, "including US F-15 Strike Eagles and Royal Air Force Tornado ground-attack planes. They dropped precision-guided munitions on Saddam Hussein's major western air-defense facility, clearing the path for Special Forces helicopters that lay in wait in Jordan.....The Pentagon's goal was clear: Destroy Iraq's ability to resist. This was war. "

The significance: of "....new information that has come out in response to the Downing Street memo reveals that, by this time, the war was already a foregone conclusion and attacks were no less than the undeclared beginning of the invasion of Iraq. "
