Slowly the controversy grows, taking an innocuous memo and making a big puffy pastry out of it.
Noted socialist columnist and all around buffoon Greg Palast was kind enough to make me aware of the revelation in the Times of London of the so-called 'smoking gun' memo from the British government's briefing by C (the head of MI6) about US plans for action against Iraq.…

Bush is a fucking criminal
plain and simple.!
You Fucking TWITS that basiclly
lick his boots and support this
fucking criminal cabal are just as guilty as sin.
We are many here in the U.S.
that see through the smoke and mirrors
of shrubs crimes against our republic.
It would do you well to wake the fuck up
for yourselfs before it is too
late.
cheers,jeers and beers.

I'm with sydney 150%. The problem is, it's only a minority seems to be incensed by the blatant lies, spin, stonewalling, and conniving, and some (like Dave) even deny totally that there have been any lies, spin, stonewalling and conniving...or if they admit it, it bothers them not at all - which really is appalling, almost as appalling as the fact that the current administration has no problem resorting to such tactics first instead of last for any situation lately. What is wrong with the public - and the media - that ANY kind of shenanigans such as these are not only tolerated, but shrugged at?! 'Oh, so what - every president has done it'- what kind of attitude is that?! This isn't about partisanship - on my part, anyway - it's about honesty in government and those elected to public office being held to standards of integrity, at least to the people of the country they are supposed to be serving. Bush wants to lie to Korea or the French, fine. He's not president of Korea or France. But to lie to me, or pull the old "from a certain point of view" crap of Obi-Wan Kenobi? That puts him beyond the pale, and as far as I'm concerned, it should put him in front of a firing squad for treason. Furthermore, it kills me to see my former political party hijacked by such scum. They have brought it so low thru their manipulations, it isn't recognizable any more, nor is it viable for anyone having any decency, honor, honesty, or ethics - despite Bush's loud ballyhooing about same. Baloney. Bush wouldn't know honesty or ethics if they leaped up and bit him in the nuts; the history of his dealings throughout his life testifies to this, as does the company he keeps...and I don't refer to Laura.
