CNN special on WMD lies (tonight) - bushco vicitim, CIA to blame
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 02:30 PM by Skip Intro
I only caught a snip at the end of Blitzer's Late Edition, laying all the blame on Tenent and the CIA - how Powell was a vicitm, and Tennent was responsible. I turned the channel.

Wonder if they'll address the mushroom cloud refernces or the Niger Uranium lies or the he's got nukes claims or the we know where they are claims. Or the kicking the inspectors out of Iraq so the shock and awe could begin.

Or the warning after warning after warnging from US intel that the WMD claims were bogus.

Do they ever stop lying for these thugs in the WH?

on edit - didn't realize there was already a thread on this

1. I watched it and Yes, they mention Niger and the mushroom cloud
Well, I caught the last half.

And yes, they mention the nuke aspect...and some of the people they interviewed pretty well say the claims were a lie.

The footage is worth taping for the speeches and comments (lies) made by the Bush Regime.

And I've said, repeatedly, there is some spinning...but there's also some stuff worth watching and taping.

They do make it seem as if Powell was a victim - which he isn't...and it does end on a weak note (with Negroponte)

But I'm glad I watched and will re-watch the entire thing later...because I've wanted that footage (of the speeches) for a while now.

3. Oh, didn't realize it had already aired.
I was going by the snip I saw at the end of blitzer's show today.

I didn't know it had already aired. I very, very rarely watch any cable news other than Olberman's show.

Guess I'll watch CNN for an hour tonight..

9. You should really watch it!
It's well done and critical. And they go as far as the MSM can go to show that BushCo lied the country and the world into this war.

7. Any expose on WMD lies that doesn't mention WHIG or OSP is bunk.
I saw the promo for this CNN snowjob as well. They're barely scratching the surface of this scandal. But I suppose that's exactly as they intended.
