Downing Street Saga
So.. The same mainstream media that didn't bother to tell anyone that Bush had pre-decided to go to war and was just going through the motions with the UN and congress [because saying that wouldn't be polite... or fair and balanced].. NOW.. is saying.. hey everyone knew Bush was planning to go to war no matter what, this is old news. NO, NOT EVERY DOES!!!

Was the Iraq war a foregone conclusion by early 2002? Of course it was. These new memos provide further evidence of that, but I'm not sure there's anyone who really doubted it in the first place.
Look, this is just bullshit. There are two sets of people here. One consists of inside the beltways types and assorted news junkies and the other consists of The Amerkin Public. The former knew the Iraq war was a foregone conclusion by early 2002, but didn't bother to tell the Amerkin Public. They still haven't. I knew the dance with the UN was bullshit and I tried to point it out, but my blog is not all powerful. The American press did not bother to tell people. And, now, they still don't want to bother to tell people.
