I haven't heard a PEEP about the NEW DSM in US media...
Have you?

Bush to Blair: First Iraq, then Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea
By Marie Woolf, Political Editor
Published: 16 October 2005
George Bush told the Prime Minister two months before the invasion of Iraq that Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea may also be dealt with over weapons of mass destruction, a top secret Downing Street memo shows.

The US President told Tony Blair, in a secret telephone conversation in January 2003 that he "wanted to go beyond Iraq".

He implied that the military action against Saddam Hussein was only a first step in the battle against WMD proliferation in a series of countries.

Mr Bush said he "wanted to go beyond Iraq in dealing with WMD proliferation", says the letter on Downing Street paper, marked secret and personal.

No 10 said yesterday it would "not comment on leaked documents". But the revelation that Mr Bush was considering tackling other countries over WMD before the Iraq war has shocked MPs. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have been close allies of the US in the war against terror and have not been considered targets in relation to WMD.

2. Pakistan looks bad right now, our ally AND earthquake. Saudi Arabia
is Bush Sr.'s dad. Would the Neo-cons REALLY go against James Baker III?

I can see why the MSM might be afraid to touch this one.

5. It's as if they felt they had to accomplish the entire PNAC mission in
this one Presidency - citizens, elections, and rules be damned.

I wonder if the Internet and the global telling of this Presidency will unravel it's true coporate depravity.

sigh.......

6. Welcome to DU
:hi:

Sometimes I wonder if that's true, or if Rummy and Co. have convinced him that it's necessary.

4. It will happen sooner or later. I just think there is too much on
the plate right now, and the Downing Street Memo has been put on the back burner, with Joe Wilson in plain sight.

As the crow flies the Plame case is connected.
