Downing St. memos: Been there, knew that

Newsday
June 24, 2005

Somebody needs to explain to me all this furor over the Downing Street memos.

Democrats and anti-war activists sound as if they have found the smoking gun that proves President George W. Bush lied to the nation and the world about his intentions toward Iraq. New York Rep. Charles Rangel went so far as to mention the word "impeachment."

Hello? Anybody who was paying attention in the summer of 2002 had to understand that the Bush administration was beating the drums of war and that if an actual decision had not been made (what is the actual decision?) the mind-set was clear.

The furor over the Downing Street memos is nonsense. It will take historians to figure out whether the invasion of Iraq was wisdom or folly. And that will depend on what Iraq looks like in 20 years. Meanwhile, this irrelevant debate is diverting the nation from a discussion of the critical issue before us: How much treasure, in lives and money, will we and should we continue to spend on Iraq? What will it take to make Iraq a stable, secure nation? And are we willing to pay it?

Klurfeld is intentionally leaving out the most damning information in the DSM. Yeah, we all know BushCo was hell-bent on going to war -- that's not the point. The point is that the war was illegal and BuschCo manufactured evidence to convince the Congress, U.N. and the public that the war was legally justified. Not to mention that they began the war before even manufacturing their bogus legal justification.

I had a LTTE published recently in Newsday so it's unlikely that they'll publish a response from me. Someone please set the record straight with Newsday.

1. kick?

I think a LTTE in response to this douche is important. I hate to see this sinking. :(
