Why is it that the mainstream media here in the U.S. have been treating the Downing Street memos as some kind of quirky European boo-boo? Oh... Ho hum, those silly Brits with their snooty sense of propriety about International Law.
When I did see an article in the U.S. press the emphasis was on the fact that we knew we didn't have an exit strategy instead of the real story which is that the whole entry strategy was a calculated, cynical, unlawful, unconstitutional manipulation of "Intelligience" to justify and scare the public into accepting a pre-determined agenda to invade a country that posed no real threat to the United States.
Is the whole Ho -hum quality to the non-reporting of this story because it's pretty much old news? Didn't we already know that Bush and his pack of lying cronies did everything they could to sell us on this debacle? How many different reasons were given by the Bush administration to justify the war...something like 34?
Don't we already know that we were screwed and are still getting screwed?
To the tune of how many billions?
And instead of having this stupid war to consume our minds, money, and energy, what could we have done as a nation in the meantime?
Healthcare? Shore up Soc. Security? Gain real intelligience about how to identify and reduce the possibilites for terrorist action in the future?
ho hum, ho hum.
