Greg Palast has a blazing
editorial in Buzzflash concerning the memo published in the Times that blows the lid off what we all already knew:
The top-level government memo marked "SECRET AND STRICTLY PERSONAL," dated eight months before Bush sent us into Iraq, following a closed meeting with the President, reads, "Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam through military action justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WDM. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." [Emphasis added]
So what kind of play is this getting overseas?
Well the Times of London published the whole
memo, and as Greg points out,
It has effectively finished the last, sorry remnants of Tony Blair's political career. (While his Labor Party will most assuredly win the elections today, Prime Minister Blair is expected, possibly within months, to be shoved overboard in favor of his Chancellor of the Exchequer, a political execution which requires only a vote of the Labour party's members in Parliament.)
But here in the US, with our corporate controlled media, not a peep.
Spread the word far and wide, we have the smoking gun. High crimes and misdemeanors! Off with his head!
