The Downing Street Memo, recently leaked, reveals that President George W. Bush decided to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in summer 2002 and—determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policies—"fixed" the intelligence and facts relevent to WMD.

What has come to be known as the Downing Street "Memo" is actually a document containing meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002. This meeting was held a full 8 months PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003. The Times of London printed the text of this document on Sunday, May 1, 2005. When asked about the document's validity, "British officials did not dispute the document's authenticity."

The contents of the memo are shocking. The minutes detail how our government did not believe Iraq was a greater threat than other nations; how intelligence was manipulated to sell the case for war to the American public; and how all the talk of "war as a last resort" was mere hollow pretense.

Regardless of politics, all Americans should ask themselves: Was I misled? Did President Bush tell me the truth when he said he would not take us to war unless absolutely necessary?

1. On this website you can contact senators and representatives

You can send THE CHIMP an email asking him about

Eighty-eight members of Congress asked President Bush to address the Downing Street Memo on May 6, 2005. The White House has yet to respond. Contact the President and urge him to address the explosive allegations in the memo. As Americans, we deserve to know the truth.


you can sign a petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/dsm/petition.html

We, the citizens of the United States, join the 88 members of Congress who demand that the President and his administration address the disturbing revelations in the Downing Street Memo.

We come together, as concerned Americans, irrespective of political affiliation, to seek the truth from our government. As citizens, we deserve no less.

President Bush repeatedly told us that dragging our brothers and sisters into war was a "last resort" and that he was, up until March 2003, pursuing every last diplomatic option.

Based on the Downing Street Memo, we, the undersigned, believe we were deliberately misled.

2. This is what Galloway was talking about also this morning!!

Do you believe that Americans deserve to know the truth? This is an issue beyond partisan politics—no President should ever mislead our Nation into a war. Sign the petition to ask President Bush and his administration to address the Downing Street Memo.
