Bush asked to explain UK war memo

[ctenidae]

C is the traditional name of the head of MI6- the British Secret Intelligence Service, in this case Richard Dearlove. Interestingly, C, no matter who it is, always writes his memos in green ink. Those whacky Brits.

Granted, the authenticity of the memo has not been officialy confirmed by either government, but neither has it been denied (officialy or un-), and it has been confirmed off the record by a variety of people in the British government.

Your strawman isn't working, Stephen. For more information, you can Google "Downing Street memo." There are about 1,580,000 hits.

Not ski related, but it was cold as can be when I hunted out of a duck blind that Bush I had used the day before.

I got more ducks than he did.

I wanna know how I can buy the wet carpet...

Not sure about the wet carpet (hopefully the black lab puppies had nothing to do with it), but the pre-war intel (fixed) is freely available.

Free pair of Sandy Berger's pants to the buyer.

"my hope is it does get worse. i hope it gets so bad the whole thing collapses in on itself."

Earlier in this thread, he argued with me when I said his words were unpatriotic and gave comfort to our enemies.
Let him be known by his words.

just because i don't like the system doesn't mean i do not unconditionally love my country. shame on you for again insisting otherwise. questioning our government is the most patriotic thing we can do as citizens. lest we forget, our great nation was founded by people that rebeled against their prior government.

Where are the WMDs? They clearly existed 10 years ago. Did they get used, destroyed or moved? Those are the only three options.

no, those are not the only three options. the bioweapons are no longer potenent. i can not remember the exact figure, but i believe the worst of the bio weapons expired after 5-7 years or so and it is known that no new WMD's have been recently produced with a current shelf life.

The text of the "Downing Street Memo"

8 months before the invasion.

Is C supposed to be Colin Powell?

If so, then we're to believe that the one man in the administration who did NOT want to go to war is accusing the administration of moulding the intelligence around the need for war?

Ok, so Bush is supposed to answer to what? That an opponent of his policy is accusing him of molding the intelligence around the policy?

Colin Powell went from being Uncle Tom to Deep Throat? Again, you hate the person when he supports the Prez and worship him when he goes against. I can't believe his interpretation of the events 100% any more than I can believe Ken Starr's interpretation of Clinton's affairs. Both shaped their statements around THEIR deisred outcomes... Powell did not want to go to war.

C in the memo is the Director of SIS (aka MI6) - Sir Richard Dearlove. keep in mind, this memo was written for and by the british, but the memo is regarding brits who sat in on meetings with top US admin. not sure where you got colin powell from...

Stephen was using Colin Powel as a strawman, riverc0il. A favored tactic, great for creating a diversion and controlling the conversation, something the current administration is very, very good at.
