1. thanks Steve

but neither of them answered the question

[derby378]

3. Right now, they don't even have to

The longer they don't answer, the better it is for us. :toast:

[ClassWarrior]

4. This just means they'll get another chance to not answer it...

And another... and another... till pretty soon it'll be an Impeachment Committee asking the question...

Keep hope alive + NGU.

[Spazito]

2. I LOVE that they are using the word DENY in their headlines

it tells me this really is getting legs.

[Straight Shooter]

20. I love it that they are using the word MANIPULATION.

Come on, little centipede of a story, grow those legs.

[Hubert Flottz]

5. The story was on the CBS evening news.

Put the National Oaf under oath and ask him!

[DearAbby]

7. Have to have Cheney under oath...he is the one with his hand up B* back

...I wonder if B* speaks when Cheney is drinking a glass of water?

:popcorn:

[Hubert Flottz]

13. Every GOPer in DC was screaming, "no man is above the law!"

When the Reich Wing rats were undermining the president of the United States even though the nation had troops fighting abroad in the 90s! That was during the Clinton impeachment, do you remember? "No man is above the law",(besides Prince Bush)is what the GOPers must have meant back then I guess! "I don't testify," is what Bush said during the 9/11 investigation, as best I can recall! Why could Bill Clinton not be exempt from testimony under oath, but yet Bush is always exempt? Is Bush "ABOVE THE LAW THEN"?

[mirrera]

14. Ha... LOL...n/t

[rndmprsn]

6. def happening...finally.

http://news.google.com/?ncl=http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/06/07/iraq.uk.memo/&hl=en

ive customized my google page with a search for "downing street memo minutes iraq war" and there is usually only about 6-7 current news stroies, if that...but today there is a 38 item thread (above) and a couple other threads in the 10's

its getting out.

[sabra]

8. That number will continue to go up... check it out by tomorrow morning!

[BeFree]

10. Why is it?

That we here on DU always read the latest news about three weeks before the rest of the country? Man, we are so far ahead of them suckers, it almost makes ya feel sorry for 'em, eh?

DU, it's where the truth begins.

[me b zola]

18. "DU, it's where the truth begins."

True!!! We were a large part of why it is happening. We are part of the comunity who would not let it be ignored, we fought to be heard!!

We're not done yet, though. More letters to write and phone calls to make :)


:kick:

[David Zephyr]

9. Thanks Steve.

And thanks, sabra!

:thumbsup:

[sabra]

11. aw, shucks :-)

[alfredo]

12. So the minutes are "allegations"

"President George W. Bush said Tuesday that there was "nothing farther from the truth" than allegations in a British government memorandum ..."


So the person taking the minutes from the meeting had an anti bush agenda?

[katinmn]

15. Excellent article by Hutchison!

"Still, there's little doubt that Bush was prepared to use military force long before he chose that option. The president directed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to begin considering military options for Saddam's removal as early as 2001.

It's also clear, with hindsight, that Bush was wrong about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. On Tuesday, Bush blamed the war on Saddam's refusal to abide by U.N. demands for weapons inspections."

Wow!

[Auntie Bush]

16. Better duck George...the s**t is hitting the fan! Finally!

Thanks to everyone's "hard work". Almost every news program covered it today. Hip hip hooray!

[Spazito]

17. Kick

:kick:

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Good news indeed

:popcorn: I hope it keeps going on like this. Surely the GOP will try but damn it I hope we're succesful in the end. Everything depends on it.

[sabra]

21. Tons of links this morning...

[Disturbed]

22. Is Bush "ABOVE THE LAW THEN"?

Yes. Maybe that will change.

Is my memory correct? Wasn't there a guy named Hans Blix in Iraq inspecting for WMDs? Wasn't Saddam allowing that inspection?
