1. who's with me?

i'm up to robert byrd now.

come on!

(on edit: maybe i'll skip conrad)

[seafan]

2. On my agenda for tomorrow. We have to get this info out ASAP

..before * and Co. start round 2 of world domination. Our country and many, many lives depend on our being able to stop their madness.

And I feel fairly sure that most of our Reps/Senators have nary a clue about *'s secret overflights and airspace intrusions by drones over Iran, as we speak. I hope Scott can get on AAR quickly.

3. did you hear randi mention this--it was

like the last breath she took before she went off the air today.

i think this is so important. it seemed like no one had a clue about iraq--and i want them to get a clue about iran.

thanks for helping--seems like most everyone is sleeping, or apparently doesn't think this is important.

i keep thinking maybe if the senators know they can do something about it.

and then i want to contact the MSM with it too, and ask if they're going cover the story. or do we have to wait until shock and awe first.

4. I'm in!

"The US war with Iran has already begun
by Scott Ritter
Sunday 19 June 2005 12:06 PM GMT

Americans, along with the rest of the world, are starting to wake up to the uncomfortable fact that President George Bush not only lied to them about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (the ostensible excuse for the March 2003 invasion and occupation of that country by US forces), but also about the very process that led to war.


On 16 October 2002, President Bush told the American people that "I have not ordered the use of force. I hope that the use of force will not become necessary."

We know now that this statement was itself a lie, that the president, by late August 2002, had, in fact, signed off on the 'execute' orders authorising the US military to begin active military operations inside Iraq, and that these orders were being implemented as early as September 2002, when the US Air Force, assisted by the British Royal Air Force, began expanding its bombardment of targets inside and outside the so-called no-fly zone in Iraq."

snip

"Most Americans, together with the mainstream American media, are blind to the tell-tale signs of war, waiting, instead, for some formal declaration of hostility, a made-for-TV moment such as was witnessed on 19 March 2003.

We now know that the war had started much earlier. Likewise, history will show that the US-led war with Iran will not have begun once a similar formal statement is offered by the Bush administration, but, rather, had already been under way since June 2005, when the CIA began its programme of MEK-executed terror bombings in Iran."

17. Scott was on MSNBC's Situation w Tucker Carlson, talking about this

just last night (or 2 nights ago). Tucker was ridiculing him a bit, but Scott was dead serious. Tucker asked "why did you publish this in Aljazeera and not here?" Answer? "Because here it would not get published". I am still happy that Tucker had him on the show. Situation is the best news show, in part because of Rachel Maddow, but Tucker has his moments too.
