Response to Original message |
| 105. Just more Rovelike BS to distract us from the British Memo. Now watch |
|
how angered John Q. Public will be at Newsweek.
All teh while never once getting angry at our leaders that led us into a war with faulty intelligence.
Oh, wait that's right. The intel was cooked. Too bad the proof of that will never reach the ears of the public, because they are too busy being angry at Newsweek for making this mistake.
So, the next time some truly heinous accusation surfaces, we will all be able to scream " Well, they got it wrong last time"
