Here's the problem: For DSM to register, the media would have to...

...have the cojones to ask a million questions they should have asked 2-3 years ago, when they failed us miserably.

Not only that, but they'd have to do it on a large scale, and stick to it like pit bulls. Even just one or two high-profile publications. But I'm afraid that's not gonna happen. The only hope is that someone like Conyers sticks to it like a pit bull and starts publicly asking all of these questions.

In my dreams, the press conference yesterday would have gone like this:
(multiple followups to their original non-answer)

Q: "Mr. President, Mr. Blair just denied the premise of the memo, that facts and intelligence were fixed around the policy. But what else do you call it when members of your administration repeatedly stated things such as the uranium tubes being "only" suitable for uranium enrichment, despite the fact that the U.N. Inspectors with access to the tubes themselves, sent at your request, reported just the opposite conclusion?"

Q: "... not to mention the State Department, and your own best experts on nuclear weapons at the DOE..."

Q: "... and how about repeatedly using the African uranium story, in your State of the union address no less, despite the fact that the story had been proven bogus by numerous sources within and without your administration?"

Q: "... and repeatedly ignoring caveats of your own intelligence agencies on other claims you were publicly stating as unequivocally true, in making your case for war?"

Q: "... and Cheney and Powell using Hussein Kamel's testimony that Saddam had stockpiles of chem and bio-weapons, while conveniently failing to point out that in the very same testimony, he claimed that these weapons were all destroyed shortly after the Gulf War?"

Q: "... and..."

BLAIR: "One at a time, please!!

BUSH: "GULP!"

1. One question

Since we know there were no WMD and no Al Qaeda connections, was war with Iraq based on the Bush Doctrine of Preemptive Wars in order to change the politics of the Middle East?

2. it started small with Nixon

in fact the first reports were hardly noticed.

but i agree if the media doesn't report it no one will know or care which is why we've been pushing it and lately it has been certainly getting some attention.

as the war continues to drag on, the more impact the facts of these minutes will have on the national dialog that will be hard to sweep under the rug even by the M$MWs.

REALITY is breaking-out all over.

4. And, was McCain's Senate panel just a sham to coverup that intel was fixed

by YOU and Cheney?

I mean, really, Mr. Bush, you had us folks in the media wasting two years of headline ink and broadcast time while we blamed the CIA for bad intel misleading you when all along YOU planted the bad intel.
