Bush is spinning and it seems that the Media may be bowing, again. It seems the media easily forgets the chronological order of events leading up to the invasion. Let me help them. Forgive me if i'm a little off.
1) Bush is voted in
2) Bush, Wolfowitz, and Cheney push for Iraq invasion (see Richard Clarke's Against All Enemies)
3) 9/11 occurs
4) Bush and team say Iraq did it and request invasion. Others such as Richard Clarke say where's the evidence and disprove the notion of such a link.
5) Tenet says "It's a slam dunk!" that Sadamm has WMDs, and Bush present case to democrats.
6) Democrats see evidence with blinded republican patriotism.
7) Congress authorize Bush to invade with Tenet and Bush manipulated evidence.
8) Weapons inspectors cannot find WMDs
9) Colin Powell delivers manipulated speech to UN and then Bush says, "We cannot wait for final proof," Mr Bush said. "The smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud." UN resolution passess.
10) WMDs have yet to be found. Inspectors request more time. Bush rejects.
11) Iraq invasion occurs.
12) WMDs have yet to be found.
13) Bush continues to lie.
There it lies the truth where Bush and team used WMDs as a scapegoat. They were going to invade anyway and if they waited for the Inspectors, their case would've been debunked. Phase II of the Senate investigation must be speedy. Why do you think Colin Powell is never seen on the airwaves, b/c he regrets his actions and support of Bush.
Now, they're saying Democrats had the same intelligence reports. Will the Democrats have a backbone and counter Bush?
The media must do their job, look out for the national public, and recall these chronological events to Bush before Bush attempts to rewrite and distort the past, again. If the media fails to question Bush about these events and play hardball, they will be of no public service to us.
