Downing Street Memo
June 17, 2005 ( politics )
Who else is holding their breath in fear that the smoking gun of the Downing Street Memo is just another plant of hot information that will soon be discredited, dragging down reporters and unbiased or non-right-leaning news sources with it?
The memo of course is the proof we've always suspected that BushCo cooked intelligence to match their desire to go to war:
Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patience with the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi regime's record. There was little discussion in Washington of the aftermath after military action.
It's also caused some stir among Congress demaning a response, and Nader's making impeachment rumblings.
How wonderful would it be to see Shrub impeached? Of course that's prolly no more than a fantasy with the neocon power to spin news and control of Faux News and ClearChannel radio, but hey, a man can dream?
