Wonder why media not reporting more about this Carnegie Foundation report

[59millionmorons]

Is it because they are as guilty as the Bush administration on selling us lies and having our soldiers die for no good reason?
And were the heck are our candidates, they should be screaming from the rooftops. Typical media. Typical Democrats.

8. I heard that...but they never say Bill Schneider is with a "right leaning"

organization. He's a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., a right wing think tank....Have you ever heard them mention that when he gives his so-called analysis?

3. Bush changed something that is an opinion into a fact - Clinton didn't

Bush changed something that is an opinion into a fact - Clinton didn't - is the "wrong story line - not approve by ROVE/GOP - so US media not allowed to report it,

Questions About Iraq Weapons Haunt U.S. Election Year
By REUTERS


Filed at 0:46 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The failure to find Iraqi weapons of mass destruction looks set to dog the Bush administration in an election year amid persistent accusations it exaggerated evidence in making a case for war.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a liberal-leaning U.S. think tank, issued a report on Thursday that compared public and declassified intelligence information with statements made by administration officials.It concluded that the administration made the threat from Iraq sound more dire than the underlying information.<snip>

Mathews said this was an example of how a possibility cited by the inspectors became a likelihood and then a stockpile in Bush's speech.<snip>

(Joseph Cirincione)”In that process they changed something that is an opinion into a fact, and they consistently did this,'' he said at a briefing on the report.<snip>

Former CIA Director Stansfield Turner said he was in general agreement with the Carnegie presentation, and that he believed no Iraqi weapons of mass destruction had been found for several reasons.
``A combination of the intelligence people overestimating what was there, policy people exaggerating the intelligence estimates, combined with the fact that the inspections and destruction by the U.N. from '91 to '98 eliminated a lot of these and made it very difficult for the Iraqis to start it up again because they couldn't get the materials or the equipment,'' he told Reuters.

9. I am guilty of being one of the ones screaming at the dems for not

using this information. But once I sit down and think about it, it is to early. These guys are smart to wait and use the good stuff once the GE starts. You never want to lay all of your cards out on the table at the very beginning. The dems have ALOT of ammo. They have ALOT of "ace's up their sleeves". It would be wise to use all of that on the national level. God knows there is so much to gripe about with this administration that we can bombard the repubs. repeatedly ONCE THE GE starts and this goes national.

Just a thought from a person who thinks the truth will get out once we have a nominee and the entire country (not just Iowa and NH) gets involved in this election.

10. You could be right

But I fear if they dont attack now, it may not get the attention it deserves.
