BUSH&CHENEY's Secret Mission Before War- "There were NO weapons. And we knew in plenty of time"

[kpete]

In an MSNBC TODAY extract of Suskind’s new book is the author’s narration of the musings of “a longtime U.S. intelligence official,” from which (on page 3) the passage quoted below is taken.


This state of affairs is untenable — a loss of intelligence capability that will end in disaster — and he thinks about why, about how America went from a country that people wanted to help in its time of need to one they’d just as soon see humbled. And each time he goes through this exercise, he comes back to Iraq and the suspicions of so many, in the United States and abroad, that we went to war under false pretenses. He thinks it’s the key reason the United States has lost its moral authority in the world. People — at the agency and around Washington — dismiss it, the whole mess, saying it’s all past tense, let it go. But he knows more than they do — more than all but a dozen people, maybe fewer, inside the U.S. government, with two of them being Bush and Cheney. He knows there was a secret mission a few months before the war — a top-drawer intelligence-gathering mission that the United States was involved in — that found out everything we later learned. That there were no weapons. And we knew in plenty of time.

1. Thus the haste to get in there before the docile press & citizens

figured it out.

2. Come on Nancy

impeachment is the only way to cauterize the wound. America has a mortal wound, and we are dying. The only way to save us is to sear this cancer out. GOD DAMMIT DO IT.

6. Impeach? You mean with this Congress? They are on summer holiday and Nancy is pimping her book-

but you can send them an email so that you can receive a form letter back thanking you for your concern- that's always nice. 4000+ US dead, 25,000+ maimed and or emotionally scarred for life, 1 million Iraqi's dead, millions more uprooted, our destroyed economy, not getting the guys who attacked us (apparently not looking for them either), torture, spying on US citizens, --impeach you say? Crimes? Where? Pelosi said there's no evidence and she is after all, "in charge."

What happened to this country- our country- our constitution- our rights- our-- oh that's right. Bush wanted to protect our freedom. I forgot. Silly me.

4. Again, I post the Nuremberg Indictments (clear and concise .. even Bu$h can understand this)

1. Conspiracy to Wage Aggressive War

2. Waging Aggressive War, or "Crimes Against Peace"

3. War Crimes

4. Crimes Against Humanity


Prototype for the New York Times (perhaps ca. 2010?)

5. So-the-F-what??? We're SAVED. Born-again got a ticket to Heaven!!!

Everything is going to be just fine, Jesus died for us, we're forever forgiven, The Bible says so.

All of those Iraqis are going to just forget who invaded their country. Give them jobs, rebuild their country, more money - they'll forget who killed their FAMILIES.

7. It'll take years before we see the light of Dubya's crimes.

This is only scratching the surface.
