lizziebelleI've seen this link on at least three other blogs, and I think it's a good idea to post it in as many places as possible. The major media outlets have not picked this story up, as they are apparently still in the back pocket of the administration despite their protests to the contrary. I truly never thought that I would be living in a country that acts like it's in a dystopian novel, but apparently I am.
Following 9/11, President Bush and seven top officials of his administration waged a carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. President George W. Bush and seven of his administration's top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Nearly five years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, an exhaustive examination of the record shows that the statements were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.
Spread this around; call your representatives and demand to know why they can impeach a President for lying about a blow job, but not for sending thousands of Americans to their deaths under false pretenses; go out and vote. Be heard! As the bumper sticker says: if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
