why has this story gone down the memory hole? [View All]

I remember when this story broke, and I thought "well, conservatives are gonna go fucking apeshit when they hear about this one" but of course they gave him a pass because they are goosesteppers.

But the other day I was at work talking to a colleague about politics and we were in agreement on everything, he'd even read several books more than I had, and I mentioned this story.

He hadn't heard of it. He was shocked. Another guy who was listening to us was shocked as well and said he hadn't heard of it either.

These are very well informed people and they hadn't heard of it.

To me this is possibily THE most treasonous thing Bushco has done. I mean we're talking classic treason here.

Why has this story been forgotten?

Was it mentioned in F911? (I haven't seen it yet) I hope so!

War Plan Shared With Saudi Ambassador Before Powell.

“One of the key players that had to be notified and brought along was Saudi Arabia. U.S. forces would have to be sent through and from Saudi territory into Iraq. Rescue, communications and refueling support were not going to be enough. Of the five other countries on Iraq's border, only Kuwait and Jordan supported a military operation. The 500 miles of Saudi-Iraqi border were critical. So on Saturday, Jan. 11, Cheney invited Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador, to his West Wing office. Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were also there.” Cheney, General Myers, and Rumsfeld described the plan of attack in Iraq with the Ambassador, and allowed him to take notes about a map they presented. The may was labeled: TOP SECRET NOFORN, which means it was classified material not to be seen by any foreign nation. Prince Bandar said he would have to tell Crown Prince Abdullah that he had gotten the message from Bush himself. So they arranged a meeting with Bush, Rice, and Prince Bandar in which Bush said he supported everything Cheney had told Bandar. After that meeting, Rice said Bush should inform Powell about his plan to invade Iraq, since Powell was friends with Bandar and could find out through him. After the warning from Rice, Bush met with Powell and informed him of his decision and asked for Powell’s support.”
