A "smoking Gun"!

[quilp]

This is from a website called news.com.au. It is a headline in Buzzflash. (I have no clue how to make a link. I hope I'm not breaking any rules).

John Pilger is an Australian journalist.

"Pilger uncovered VIDEO FOOTAGE of Powell in Cairo on February 24, 2001 saying, "He (Saddam Hussein) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours."

Two months later, Rice reportedly said, "We are able to keep his arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."

Powell boasted this was because America's policy of containment and its sanctions had effectively disarmed Saddam."

If an Australian can take the trouble to research and uncover this what does it say about the parlous state of American journalism? It takes an Australian to tell us what our own Administration is saying?

Nothing against the Aussies, but where are the Americans? This is embarrassing!

The American press has its collective nose up the ass of this administration.
