I am sorry folks. There was no link between Iraq and Al Queda and there were never ever any WMD's. The MSM and the far left (oh wait, what is the difference) have written that in stone and will NEVER EVER edit it. Even worse, the administration was content to let them write it, was caught flat footed as the partisan operatives in the CIA undermined them, and acquiesced to the "Bush lied people died" propaganda.

That it took so much time and pressure to get these documents and tapes released is simply astounding. These should have been released along with a concerted effort to refute those who believe and sold the notion that there were never WMD's and that America's enemies would never collaborate on an attack like 9/11 due to ideological differences. (If I had a dime for every time I heard how Al Queda would never collaborate with Saddam because they wanted to overthrow him. Just like we never would have collaborated with the Soviets to defeat Fascist Germany. Once the larger enemy was defeated, then we duked it out.) The notion of no collaboration between Iraq and Queda has is now taken as gospel and is ingrained in many a voter's mind (as is the no WMD's mantra).

It isn't too late for the Administration to actually inject a truth float into the MSM and dems fantasy parade. As a matter of fact, it is necessary as the latest trend from the dems is to downplay 9/11 as if it were an isolated event and not that big a deal in the larger scope of things. In other words, lets put our heads back in the sand like during the Clinton years.

But, the Administration needs a plan that is better than, "hey, lets just release these documents/tapes and the truth will get out via the MSM who truly have our, and the country's, bestest interests at heart." The MSM is welded to their Bush lied story line and having evidence of WMD's or Saddam's links to terrorism show up would be, at the least, inconvenient. As can be seen from the ABC editor's notes, they won't permit it. Moreover, they just won't report it as it does not move their agenda ahead. (Who can blame them really, as the MSM is a propaganda branch of the democrat party. Thus, why would they do anything to help the other party out?)

The Administration can't take a passive approach with these documents/tapes (autopilot seems to be the state of operation for this Administration lately on a wide variety of issues). They need to make everyone they can available for interviews to Fox, to Rush, to Sean, to whoever to discuss these documents. The President, God forbid, needs to set a new, new tone and thump the podium about these and call them what they are, EVIDENCE!!! Even better, how about an advertisement or two telling people who has really been lying while our soldiers have been dying.

LOL, it matters not what the President says or does, or what documents say or don't say. The MSM will simply have a CIA source to counter whatever comes out.

The script has been written.

The MSM has even managed to purge the entire decade of the 90's to fit their hate Bush agenda, remember the hundreds of articles on Saddam, Iraq, OBL, WMD, UN sanctions, ect, all asking Clinton to take out Saddam, bring democracy, to get rid of the threat of WMD, ect.

Time mag even quotes Bob Graham, Dem chairman of the intell committee, after 9/11, SAYING that they had credible evidence that Iraq was on the list.

The only thing left is revenge, the MSM must die, and we must destroy them.

Exactly! What's so ironic about all of this is that it was the MSM that originally carried the ball on all these claims...long before Bush even came into office. Yet, they not only have the nerve to call Bush a liar, they've completely exonerated themselves in the role they played in promoting these stories.

Their bias and hatred is so deep, that they can't even accept that they may have been right, right from the start. There is some sick pathology at work here that the MSM would rather continue to destroy Bush...with a lie, than rehabilitate their own image, which is even in worse shape than Bush's. This is the same media that will rely on the most suspect of sources when it resolves to the detriment of Bush...yet, will blindly discard any source that exculpates him. These people are some sick individuals were bias is the least of their problems.

Unless the tipping point is eminent. The lib/socialists will turn on their own in a heartbeat if they think they will be caught with all the egg on their faces. If they see the clear evidence that the people will finally know the truth = they will jump ship on their comrades in an attempt to avoid being shown, in clear and convincing proof, to have been deliberately participating in cover-up and manipulation of the truth.
