So if Scott McClellan now says bush used propaganda (lies) for the Iraq war ...
... when does the impeachment start?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10649.html

4,100 Americans are dead.
60,000 Americans have been wounded, hurt, taken sick, or had mental problems
of which 40,000 have been air lifted out of Iraq.
We are spending $700,000/minute in borrowed money
1,000,000 + Iraqis are dead
4.5 million Iraqis are out of their homes
Terrorists have gained strength
bin Laden, the Taliban, and al Qaeda are still strong

1. And just as important...
...If, as he said, the media fell down on the job, will the media now stand up and do it's job with regard to IRAN?

6. Greg Mitchell of Editor & Publisher
has written a great book about how the American media blew it (and continues to blow it) - "So Wrong For So Long: How The Press, The Pundits -- And The President -- Failed On Iraq." I cannot recommend it highly enough.

7. While I will never let media off the hook for giving bush so many passes
are there any stats on the ratio of Scotty calling on Helen as opposed to Jeff Gannon during pressers?

One hopes the man found his soul and decided to pen the book. But he was part of the problem and he damned well had an inkling back then.

what they have done?

3. Agreed - We Can't Let This Criminal Serve Out His Term - He'll Pardon.......
everyone on his last day in office and we will have lost our chance to make sure that this never, ever happens again in the U.S.

Leaving * in office - is just saying that what he did was acceptable - and that sucks.

4. He isn't telling anything
Edited on Tue May-27-08 09:24 PM by vpilot
that wasn't strongly suspected or known already. IMO, it says more about the uselessness of the MSM and the spinelessness of the Democratic Leadership for taking impeachment off the table and capitulating on so many issues than about Bu$hCo.

10. I am sure there are still plenty
of secrets being hidden, I just meant that in general we know that Bu$hCo has lied, speaks out of both sides of their mouths and in *'s own words "catapulted the propaganda"

5. smells like Rove
Scotty was/is a mouth piece. He is a sociopathic liar who will say what they tell him to do. This is horseshit.
