I don't need no stinking memos! I already KNOW they lied!

[devilgrrl]

Seriously. Memos schmemos... I knew the Bush Crime Family's reasons for going into Iraq were bullshit and I knew the war would be a disaster. Who else feels the same way?

1. Ditto.

But it's going to take memos, minutes, whatever to get half of this country to see the light.

4. Has anyone ever studied body language?

It was plain for the world to see if they wanted to.

5. True

We knew because of Richard Clarke, Scott Ritter, and many other brave patriots who came forward early in the game. Plus, there's the outline of the plan in PNAC.

Unfortunately, the general public obviously needs additional proof to sway them. That's why we should all be thankful for the patriot in the UK who decided enough is enough and leaked this string of documents which could not have come at a more opportune moment. It's almost as if somebody in the UK is trying to orchestrate CuckooBanana's downfall. Regardless, we'll accept the assistance.

6. Um...

Proof helps with the folks who watch Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc.

I'm glad you don't need them. As a journalist, I do.

9. To quote LynntheDem, 'facts are good'

But there is different kind of proof. And a lot of existed beforehand. But it is nice to find smoking guns lying around (laying around?). I would argue that to many who watch Fox, proof helps with only some.

7. the media is being tried today with this hearing ...they are guilty

[Hissyspit]

8. Well, yeah. Us all and Will Pitt, too. Journalist Joseph Powers...

many in the intelligence community, diplomats, some in the military, most of the rest of the world...

I've been screaming at people about it for the past three years. Screaming to myself. Talking about it in my classes as much as I can get away with it...

10. You knew, I knew, 98% of the people registered on DU

knew. There wasn't a damn thing we could do to stop it, we screamed, marched, vigiled, prayed, and still it happened. Now if the whore media does it's job Joe sixpack will know he was lied to as well.
