How Cheney Fooled Himself -Downing Streets Still Alive!

(or it might have been the first State of the Union following or both)

It was both. I remember them vividly. What keeps ringing in my ears are his words that stated this struggle would not be quick or easy. It would be a long difficult job but it needs to be done. Completely.

Everyone was on board back then...so soon after Sept. 11th. It's amazing how the weak of heart and the gutless have turned against him.

Too bad for the left that there is no original copy of the their precious memo, just something that someone typed.

Any war with less than 20,000 dead is a win to me! Less than 2000 is insignificant to the end goal.

You get a prize! Take a look at this!

Michael Smith an Associate producter for CBS working with Mary Mapes?

[TheDon]

Take a look

As much as the MSM wants to pull our chain, convolute or create the news, or twist polls, the American people are not stupid....I don't need the government to tell me what a long struggle this will be....I just need to remember:

True. Sadly, it seems that too many people seem to need constant reminders of what actually happened, in order to remember.

Is anyone familiar with the term, "object permeance?" When you flash an object to a baby and hide it, in his mind that object never existed. After a certain age they develop OP and will look for the rattle. Well. we have seen Saddam use Wmds, both Dems and repubs(including Clinton and Gore) believed he had them, the whole world said he had them. We go into iraq and don't find them.Hence to dems, Bush lied. But we knew they existed at least at one time. Any baby who does not develop object permeance grows up to become a democrat

Sure is fun to watch this one unravel before their earnest and hopeful eyes. "We've got him! Impeachment! Impeachment!" "Awwwww..."

Memories on the left appear to be willfully shortened. It isn't as if Bush and Blair woke up one morning and said "let's start a war in Iraq!" We'd been shooting at them, and them at us, since 1991.

Your keyboard to G_d's eyes...

I agree. There's no credibility with this reporter who "duplicates" information. He could change the info at will depending upon his biases and the general public is to take his word? Forget it!

It's been a long time since I've heard any mention of Saddam's goons firing on our pilots. Before we went in, it seemed we heard about that quite a bit.

I saw this and that Smith reporter guy was disingenuous in my view. He claimed he had to destroy the originals before they printed the copies in the paper because "the lawyers made us, it wasn't my idea it was theirs"

Woolsley and Kay, I believe, showed this farce for what it is.

[gipper81]

As Sonny Bono would say, "the beat goes on."

[Seeking the truth]

What is this about adding a "seal"?

[M Kehoe]

I care for Dionne's screed as much as I care about dog farts. Wait a minute. I care about my dog's farts more. They should be considered a weapon of mass destruction. Clears the room he does.

Michael smith was very careful with his language, especially after questions like "what does the DSM prove", to which he responds "they SHOW" blah blah blah.

Even Smith himself will not say the DSM proves anything.

Hey E. J.! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............

[Eagles Talon IV]

Well, that's because it was made up in the first place.

Clue - the WMDs were taken to Syria ...
