The DELUTH NEWS TRIBUNE holds NO punches re: Downing Street Minutes
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 04:26 PM by BigBearJohn

Downing Street Memo should be today's Watergate scandal

Now here is a horrifying scandal: a president who lies to Congress, lies to the country, and drags us into a war of aggression that shows no sign of having an end. A president who wastes the lives of more than 1,600 young Americans and slaughters uncounted non-combatants, destroys their cities and their countryside, to even a score with Saddam Hussein and procure yet more wealth for Bush's already obscenely wealthy friends.

A president who offers a personal hug of condolence to every mother whose child dies in this war,while knowing in his own heart that his regime conspired to cause these children's deaths.

We get all indignant about a president who plans a silly burglary to get re-elected, or a president who fondles nubile interns, but we don't bat an eye at a president who lied so that thousands of children died.

How strange we are indeed.

6. Is our country so jaded...
...that a President who lies is no big deal anymore? Or, is the fact that DumbDumb lied not big news at all? The only difference is we have it in writing now. Is America yawning? Or is the MSM bought off?

7. Opinion leaders make the news. If the MSM yawns, then the public yawns
