The timing of this Newsweek "incident" vis-a-vis US coverage of

[Postman]

the UK memo (aka smoking gun of Bush lies about Iraq)

Is this non-story about Newsweek reporting the facts involving the Koran having the effect of US mainstream media ignoring the elephant standing in the room? Better known as the smoking gun memo in the UK prior to US/UK Iraq invasion?

1. Highly probable

2. don't think so

the MSM was ignoring the UK memo anyway.

My thinking is BushCo knows things are turning very bad in a whole bunch of Muslim hot spots around the world and this is the chance to pin it all on the "liberal media"

3. Any time there is a Government source you can always expect a cover up.

Cover up the big story with an even bigger made up one.

4. It's like a dance.....

very highly choreographed. Very, very possible.

6. Perfect timing. Gotta hand it to that KKKarl. Lie to start a war, kill

10's of thousands, spend hundreds of billions, maim thousands of American youths, financially uproot thousands of families, good,

report a story originating within the govt, a few dozen people die in uprisings that had already been attributed to something entirely different by Richard Myers, bad.

What a bunch of losers.
