And on and on...

From the Political Gateway, an obvious Neo-Con site:

snip

In a piece published on the Political Gateway, a website which "tries to bring input from all sides of the political arena to allow free and open discourse on a

range of subjects," columnist Bud Beck writes that the British memo story "isn't news by any stretch of the imagination."

This is not the Watergate burglary and it is not a fabricated Gulf of Tonkin incident. It is nothing new, just a new version of something that is old - so old it has

become all but too boring. (Oh, Really... It's not been on any television networks, which all of our grandmom's, pop's, etc., actually watch) Link:

http://www.politicalgateway.com/main/columns/read.html?col=355

The critics of the war, all of them Democrats, have accused Bush and his top aides of misusing what has since been shown as limited intelligence in the

prewar period. The notes of the meeting between Dearlove and Blair now prove it. So what? The same critics have been unsuccessful in getting an investigation into

the misuse of the intelligence and as long as they are in the minority they never will. What are they expecting to happen here that didn't happen in Britain?"

How about it DU'ers... Know of any creditable sites? Feel free to forward these around or place on your blogs.

4. Kicked and recommended.

I also took the liberty of adding this to the Five-Star Thread in Activism & Events. Part Forty-Seven, First Add I think. under www.downingstreetmemo.com entry.

Good compilation! Thanks!

[AuntiBush]

7. Thanks. Did this for all of us - even the FReepers!

:) Hoping traveling freepers and those in the middle will hit those links. We can't let this go.

Add away and use them on your blogs; send to friends, etc. Unbelievable that we have to be the voice for our nation. Can't believe I'm saying this.

What a strange trip this is, huh.

[bejammin075]

17. Please add the links below to the list

as some are important. Can you edit the list above? An elected Repub who says invading Iraq had no justification, and a stunning BBC documentary that provides mountains of evidence that Blair and Bush lied in a 1 hour laser beam of info and interviews.

[berni_mccoy]

5. Great Compilation!

:kick: and recommended.

[Nite Owl]

6. And cspan calls this

an 'internet rumor'.

:argh:

[AuntiBush]

8. And Fox blames American's for not caring: They do not know!

Hopefully they will now!

[TexasLawyer]

9. Thanks for pulling this together.

I know it must have taken some time. This will be very useful.

10. Link: "Freedom Fries" Repub changes mind

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1491567,00.html

This was the Repub Representative Walter Jones, from deep red North Carolina, who came up with the anti-french "freedom fries" and "freedom toast".

He now says we went to war "with no justification"

This is important, because it's an ELECTED REPUBLICAN who is on the record!!

[bejammin075]

11. Link: Ultra Repub calls out Bush!!

5/18/05
http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/cgi-bin/roberts.cgi/2005/05/18#A_Reputation_in_Tat

This guy, Paul Craig Roberts, writes for a very conservative site (not sure if it is also a magazine, newsletter, or what). Browse around "Chronicles Magazine", and you'll see. Pat Buchannan writes for them too, if that gives you a flaver.

This guy is a "Reagan Republican" and is totally disgusted. His rant is called:
"A Reputation in Tatters"

"George W. Bush and his gang of neocon warmongers have destroyed America’s reputation. It is likely to stay destroyed, because at this point the only way to restore America’s reputation would be to impeach and convict President Bush for intentionally deceiving Congress and the American people in order to start a war of aggression against a country that posed no threat to the United States.

America can redeem itself only by holding Bush accountable."

[bejammin075]

12. Another Link: Repub: "Is Bush a Sith Lord"

The same Repub referenced above, also writes on 5/27/05,

"Is Bush a Sith Lord?"

http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/cgi-bin/roberts.cgi/American%20Empire/2005/05/27/Is_Bush_a_Sith_Lord?

Quoting the first several paragraphs below:

The current episode of Star Wars is dynamite for the duplicitous Bush administration. Palpatine, a Sith Lord masquerading as a galactic Republican, becomes Chancellor of the Galactic Republic through deception. Palpatine uses wars that he instigates to elevate security over the power of the Senate and to become dictator.

In a moment of triumph, Palpatine tells the Senate, “In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society.” The senators respond with sustained cheering and applause. Padme says, “So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.”

Sith lords use the powers of the dark side of the force. Jedi knights use the power of the good side. The Jedi are selfless and use their incredible powers to protect the Republic. Sith are evil and crave absolute power.

Palpatine, who is really Darth Sidious, manipulates the Senate and enlists the Jedi Council’s patriotism to “defend” the Republic against a “separatist” army that he secretly directs. The purpose of the orchestrated war is to erode liberty in the name of security. The naive Jedi catch on too late and are decimated. The Republic falls.

Bush’s “war against terrorism” is no less orchestrated than Palpatine’s war and has led to the same result: a society dominated by security concerns.

The top secret British government memo that was leaked to the London Times proves beyond all doubt that Bush invaded Iraq for none of the changing reasons that he has given a too-trusting public. Bush did not invade Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction or because he wanted to bring democracy to Iraq.

13. Link: VIDEO of BBC documentary with DSM

http://www.overcast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/warofterror/iraqtonytruth.htm

The above is a 1 hour BBC Panorama documentary titled "Iraq, Tony & the Truth"

IT IS INCREDIBLE. And downloadable. Watch it and pass on the link!
It covers numerous leaked memos and minutes, including the Downing Street Minutes! It aired on the BBC TV 3/20/05, about a month and 10 days before the 5/1/05 publication of the minutes in the london Sunday Times.

31. Hi stubtoe!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[AuntiBush]

26. How about "Downing Street Minutes."

Like "minutes of a meeting," juxtaposed to "memo?" This was passed on to me and it does not sound bad. "Memo" has been passed over.

Any thoughts?
