33. I just sent about 25 e-mails on this issue to the 'news' networks and to
individual anchors; let's flood these people with some requests for the truth! Here is what I sent:

"What's the difference?" asks the pResident

What is up with the 'news' media in this country? The pResident lies to the American people about Saddam Hussein possessing WMDs and being an imminent threat to the US, as a justification to go to war. Then when the truth comes out, there are no WMDs and Saddam was no threat to the US, the misadministration backpedals and says, Oh no, we said EMERGING threat (and we have our altered web sites to prove it) and that he had PROGRAMS to develop WMDS. When asked about this discrepancy by Diane Sawyer, our pathological, untreated alcolholic pResident asks, "What's the difference?" and gets away with it!
Well let's see: 460 lives of American troops lost for starters, there's a difference for you. Thousands injured, some maimed for life, there's another difference. The billions of dollars being spent on this war that could have gone to domestic issues, there's a third. The fact that there is NO connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, no matter how hard the misadministration tries to make us think there are; the fact that Saddam was not involved in 9/11, no matter how hard the misadministration tries to make us think he was; the fact that Saddam was distraction to keep us from wondering where Osama bin Laden was; these are some additional differences.
If those in the media want to continue to provide NEWS and not Republican propaganda, let's start with the reports surfacing that the Kurds captured Saddam, drugged him and stuffed him back in his hole.
Let's report on the lies Bush has told and continues to tell: lies that have cost the lives of our troops; lies that, had they been told by Bill Clinton, would have been grounds for impeachment.
This pResident is a deserter, a pathological liar, and should be ousted from office along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and the rest of the cabal.
What a disgrace this misadministration is, and it is a larger disgrace that the media allow his lies to stand unchallenged, unreported and unexamined, so that we can have air time for Michael Jackson and the other distractions that they keep feeding us.
