1. To quote 'Revenge Of The Nerds"

"We've got Bush!"

[cthrumatrix]

2. NOTICE - it's international news ...WTF

Isn't this imporant here...why don't they talk about it and have O'Neil on TV

[Catfish]

3. right

I looked all day yesterday and this morning for something on msnbc.com about this story. Why is it under International and not Politics?

[mmonk]

5. Its not as big here

because the press no longer serves the purposes of a check and balance very well anymore in the US.

[rman]

13. not (yet?) very big in EU either

people don't see a Watergate when it hits them square in the face.

4. O'Neill and Suskind on the Today Show tomorrow morning

Set your VCR.

[cthrumatrix]

7. they should make the tour...Meet The Press for starters w/Cheney

one-on-one....with documents in hand

Would Dick do that?

[underpants]

8. NO and Russert wouldn't even think of doing it

excuse me GE wouldn't let that happen.

6. They are, author Suskind was on with

Katie Curic this morning, I think it is the Today Show. Katie said O'Neill will be on tomorrow. Suskind told Katie that he interviewed other administration officials (whos name he is protecting) that absolutely confirmed what O'Neill told him and that O'Neill's documents also confirmed the info.
We may have a real story with legs here. O'Neill may be our Daniel Ellsberg.

9. Dems should STOP saying crap like this.........

snip>> And Democratic presidential contender Richard Gephardt, a U.S. congressman from Missouri, said he shared O'Neill's impression of Bush as not engaged, telling CBS that the president "is a nice man. And he’s a smart man. But he doesn’t have experience. He doesn’t have knowledge. And he has no curiosity.”



He is not nice nor is he smart. He is evil and arrogant and a bully.

[rman]

12. no knowledge + no curiosity = smart... Repub logic? n/t/

10. Bang! The disingenuous linking of Saddam w/9-11 backfires!!!!

I do believe that Bush might have actually been able to go ahead and invade Iraq somehow with lying, but they chose to lie and now have been exposed.

[lovedems]

11. I found this quite interesting

The administration has not found evidence that Saddam was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, but officials have said they had to consider the possibility that Saddam could have undertaken an even larger scale-strike against the United States.

How? With the weapons WE supplied him under Raygun OR with the 2 pieces of paper that the US found the supposedly show his intent? Did paper suddenly become a WMD and I was asleep when it was announced? The lies are unraveling and it appears to me that the administration has reached the point that all liars eventually face; they have told so many they can no longer keep up with them.

14. Fax the Presidential Candidates!

That is my project for today.


I am an undecided voter as of right now. I will be faxing each of them and telling them if they want my vote in the primary, they have to earn it on this issue.

Whichever candidate takes this information provided by O'Neill and runs with it the hardest gets my vote.

If you aren't outraged by this and willing to stake your career on it, you don't deserve to be the Democratic Presidential candidate.

Period.

15. Ron Suskind was on the "Today Show"

this morning and this guy is sharp. He is so clear on what he writes about. Suskind is a good speaker and has done his homework well!
