Yeah, We Got Them Now!
"Intelligence and facts were being fixed" by the Bush administration "around" a policy that saw military action "as inevitable," the newspaper quoted from the memo.
"There's nothing farther from the truth," Bush told reporters as Blair stood at his side. "Both of us didn't want to use our military," Bush said in response to a question about the memo. "It was our last option."
Blair added, "The facts were not being 'fixed' in any shape or form at all."
I heard the press conference. It was hysterical! Dumbya and his pet doggie, Blair, sputtering about the memo. Actually, only Dumbya sputtered. It's not possible for him to be coherent, especially on an issue like this.
What really got me, though, was this little tidbit at the end of the USA article:
USA TODAY chose not to publish anything about the memo before today for several reasons, says Jim Cox, the newspaper's senior assignment editor for foreign news. "We could not obtain the memo or a copy of it from a reliable source," Cox says. "There was no explicit confirmation of its authenticity from (Blair's office). And it was disclosed four days before the British elections, raising concerns about the timing."
WHAT FUCKING BULLSHIT. This is our Mainstream Press, in action. Pretty pathetic.
