Who wouldda believed that the press and Dems. could pre-write 6 months of "news" - during wartime and all. They came up with the whole scheme last January! Let's take 'em down...AlGore, the NY Times, Eric Alterman ...and Hillary Clinton's whole DNC VLWC.
It's WAR.
YES, MA'AM!!!
When you think back at things said and done over the last 6 months...
Yep! Take down the lot of 'em!
DISCONNECT BETWEEN PRESS AND REALITY RE. THE WAR - EXPLAINED!
PRESS'S WAR "Script" written by DNC PRE-WAR!
JANUARY 2002:
--Claiming the Bush administration has manufactured evidence against Saddam Hussein and used that evidence to encourage Britain and other allies to join the American fight against Iraq;
It is clear that the current approval ratings of the administration are tied directly to strong American feelings toward traditional values, the talking points say. To counter this, doubt must be raised as to Americas true position within the world community and the true intent of the Bush administration in waging war.
--Both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are controlled by oil and defense industry special interest groups.
--The war on terrorism is a failure because Osama bin Laden is still at large.
--America is unprepared for another terrorist attack because of White House preoccupation with Iraq
--Democratic sources say the talking points were developed by Democratic Chairman Terry McAuliffe, former Clinton campaign strategist James Carville, Senate Majority Leader Daschle and former House Democratic Leader Gephardt.

In coming weeks, Democratic elected officials will question the Presidents intentions on the pending war with Iraq. Writers and broadcasters friendly to the Democratic cause have already been provided talking points suggesting the war is about oil, not terrorism. The talking points were developed before the end of last year and sent out to operatives and friendly media, one Democratic consultant confided.
