I remember when finding the "bio weaons lab" trailers were announced...
(I still relied on cable news back then, though I did not support the war, even despite that reliance! go figure!)

Anyway, I remember breathing a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, "Phew, maybe there's some legitimacy to this." I remember I was relieved to think that we weren't acting as badly as I thought we might be, that maybe we really were there to secure WMDs, and that this find was just a taste of things to come.

That was 3 years ago, and now we know that announcement was a lie, and that the lie was covered up for years, and the lie was propagated for months afterwards (and even recently by right-wing talking windbags), like all the other lies.

I wonder how many Americans today, or tonight, or tomorrow, will be thinking the same thing...

I wonder if fox nwes watchers will even learn about this new exposure.

I wonder if even if they do learn, it will change their already cemented views about W's war.

Anyone else feel the same?

1. I thought everything they said was a lie. Took them almost a week
to secure the nuclear areas in Iraq. That was proof they weren't there for WMD.

2. I remember when Colin Powell held up
Cartoons at the U.N. of these mobile trucks.

I said then.....Asshole! We are supposed believe that these cartoons are evidence?

Sure enough...the Press bought it and sold it as Solid evidence presented by Powell! :crazy:

3. Lou Dobbs played a clip of Bush talking up the labs 3 years ago.

4. Who debunked these "labs" 3 years ago?
I know this was discussed here on DU but I don't remember who debunked this story back then.
