O'Neill was given 20 minutes by 60 Minutes --he showed the president lied

[cthrumatrix]

for the whole lead up to the war. In that 20 minutes:

* he showed the planning for oil -- remember the Cheney papers they are trying to hide in the Supreme Court

* planning in early 2001 for Iraq gives the "terra folks a black eye". He left OBL hunting (the guy for 911) to go get oil.

* The lead-up to war is now documented as a path of lies and deception ... the families who have lost loved ones will be angered as will any decent america that has a brain.


No..I think this is more than a "seed planted". This is a chance for us to call the senate/congress and demand an inquiry into the papers that O"neill has.

Anything less than a full assault by DU readers ...who be a sign that you don't care about justice, you don't care about your blood for thier $$oil.

This is "our biggest gift" from this lunatic as a president. Embrace the path of "truth and disclosure" and fire this president.

1. Impeachment would be even sweeter

than winning the election.

[cthrumatrix]

2. you got that right....

[BeatleBoot]

4. But its not like

he got a blow job or anything. That would be impeachable.

[cthrumatrix]

6. that's the sad part....here a pres lies-people die ...and we have CNN and

others not jumping down on this president.

The guy has data...the guy has records...we were fed BS and it cost 10,000 or more lives.

What else do you need?

[agingdem]

14. Impeachment...

OK so we impeach Bush, right?...what about Cheney?

[DemoTex]

3. Cheney is toast

Finally.

[Skittles]

5. Demo, what is convincing you?

we have been let down so many times

[alfredo]

8. That doesn't mean we should not continue fighting for our country.

We must resist the Junta.

[DemoTex]

17. Skitt, this is the motherload.

We might not get convictions, but we will get a shift in public opinion. Mark my word! Trust your buddy DemoTex.

[madaboutharry]

27. But how many times have we all

said "this is it, he is going down?" Then...nothing.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

7. I agree completely...

if DUers and other Dems/liberals/Greens/pised off GOP don't spend the next week making HUGE noise about this issue it will be sinful.

We have been handed the keys to the kingdom, folks -- this matter is ours to lose.

DON'T BLOW IT.

[cthrumatrix]

11. It doesn't get any bigger -- impeachment if the media get's on the case...

has to be a consideration.

I'm shocked DU'ers don't think this is big.

[Toots]

19. There have been soooooo many "big" things to come along

and nothing developed. Enron, No WMD, No Bin Laden, Mission Accomplished, etc. etc. It is no wonder people are a little leary of great expectations. IMHO this is HUGE but if the Media doesn't pick up on it it is ancient history.

[peacetalksforall]

9. Resident 'Well-Oiled' is going to get away with this...

if there aren't enough genuine journalists to take if from here and if propagandist cable gets away with their role of pulling the brown stuff down and over all our eyes.

[peacetalksforall]

12. and if all our milk-toasted congresspeople continue

to support the right wing cabal.

What would Wellstone have done?

[Cat Atomic]

10. Any video available online?

I'd love to see this thing.

[Stephanie]

13. Upset that O'Neill...

:eyes:

...didn't spill the beans on Bush's search for the "Ark of the Covenant".

*sighs*

15. This is the chink in the armor we've been waiting for!

We've been waiting for ONE Bush "Insider" to come forth with the Truth. O'Neill isn't any "crackpot" who can be easily dismissed or discredited. That he has 19,000 documents of evidence at his disposal makes him somewhat of an "Untouchable" for the BFEE.

The 'Merican Public WILL take notice of this story because of 60 Minutes's credibility and the rest of the media wanting to jump on the bandwagon in short order. The "Buzz" has started. Now that the slumbering populace is groggily starting to open their eyes, PLEASE let's hammer the message home.

I ask each and every person reading this thread to make at least one copy of the "Whispering Campaign" for distribution tomorrow. Keep the message/info flowing. Keep the energy/focus where it needs to be.....just ONE danged copy is all I ask.....just ONE and I will be grateful.......

Help Wake Up The Nation With Stealth Activism!
THE WHISPERING CAMPAIGN

[madrchsod]

16. everyone in the free world

knew this or at least suspected it ,everyone that is, expect the citizens of the usa. we were not informed by the newspapers or the television. but have no fear, it will be all buried in the next few days.

[salinen]

18. This is the perfect opportunity for the candidates

to hammer it home. Especially those who will be dropping out. Nothing to loose. They will get in a final statement, and it better be against this regime, and not about the other candidates.

[AndyTiedye]

22. I Hope He Is Keeping Many Copies of the Documents in Many Safe Places

so the BFEE cannot destroy the evidence.

O'Neill should take the train, too. No small airplanes!!

[cthrumatrix]

23. they are on CD...and I suspect several copies in mucho places.

[cthrumatrix]

24. not if we act.....not if we keep it going...not if we demand an inquiry

with the help or dean/clark and others...

[FreakinDJ]

20. We need to link this to the Fed Deficit

We need to make America realize how much this Oil War is costing us the tax payers. We need to help the average John Doe Tax payer realize just how long his taxes will be paying a Federal Deficit so that cheeny and his cronies could rape the Iraqi people of the natural resources
