” Why the administration and people who supported the war have not emphasized this has been a mystery and disappointment.”
Read and digest the references at this address: http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/iraq/archive.html and see what you think.
The 90% democrat media has a rabid anti-Bush agenda and will not cover the facts if they are favorable to our president. However, if Clinton, Gore or any other democrat would have been president at 9/11, we would be cowering in our basements wondering where the next terrorist attack would be.
The same happens with others on the right who support the war. They either don't have all the facts (see that way too often) or they don't know how to “speak truth to power” (ie media). Why haven't the Republicans in congress been more vocal and insistent on the whole truth. Me thinks they and their aides spend too much time playing politics rather than the country's business.
Even the rt wing talk shows have fallen down on the job with the WMD issue. Everyone takes the info at the top of the fold but most do not do their own research.
