There were thousands of people demonstrating in the streets in New York, Washington and other cities against "No Blood for Oil" back before the invasion of Iraq (I was one of them) but the complicit MSM barely covered the demonstrations and would only publish horrendous under-counts of the number of people at the demonstrations. Many TV stations didn't even mention them in their newscasts. They were in on it
My point is of course that many of us were not fooled at all and knew what Chaney (he of Haliburton and their no-bid billion dollar war contracts) and Bush were up to. We were the same just-over-half of the country that voted against Bush in 2000 but were snookered by the Scalias and Thomases on the Supreme Court. We were demonstrating and voicing our opinion against the war. You might say the fix was in on the war just as it was in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
