    Note: Sorry about the formating, but there is a lot of links here and I just cut-n-pasted(?) the links into the post. This approach never works well, but it works and I am lazy.

    From a Ga10 Diary
    The Philadelphia Daily News prints an opinion piece calling the media "indifferent" and comparing the DSM case to Watergate.

    The Palm Beach Post has an opinion piece detailing the DSM as Bolton's latest problem. In Alaska, they're saying the document is prime reason for Sen. Murkowski to vote against him..

    The Boston Globe printed an article and straight excerpts from the DSM.

    The Gazette reports that Sen. Feingold is pissed and will ask Blair about the document when they meet.

    More Coverage: The Dallas Morning News, The Philadelphia Inquirer,
    The Washinton Times, The Houston Cronicle, The Detroit Free Press, The Houston Chronicle, and Knight Ridder also carried the story, along with dozens of other papers as well.


    Where Bush has lied us.

    (Remember, the document is a transcription of the minutes of a British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002—a full eight months PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003.)

    Bush: "Of course, I haven’t made up my mind we’re going to war with Iraq." [10/1/02]

    Bush: "Hopefully, we can do this peacefully – don’t get me wrong. And if the world were to collectively come together to do so, and to put pressure on Saddam Hussein and convince him to disarm, there’s a chance he may decide to do that. And war is not my first choice, don’t – it’s my last choice." [11/7/02]

    Bush: "This is our attempt to work with the world community to create peace. And the best way for peace is for Mr. Saddam Hussein to disarm. It’s up to him to make his decision." [12/4/02]

    Bush: "You said we’re headed to war in Iraq – I don’t know why you say that. I hope we’re not headed to war in Iraq. I’m the person who gets to decide, not you. I hope this can be done peacefully." [12/31/02]

    Bush: "First of all, you know, I’m hopeful we won’t have to go war, and let’s leave it at that." [1/2/03]

    Bush: "But Saddam Hussein is – he’s treated the demands of the world as a joke up to now, and it was his choice to make. He’s the person who gets to decide war and peace." [2/7/03]

    Bush:
    "I’ve not made up our mind about military action. Hopefully, this can be done peacefully.” [3/6/03]

    Bush:
    "I want to remind you that it’s his choice to make as to whether or not we go to war. It’s Saddam’s choice. He’s the person that can make the choice of war and peace." [3/6/03]

    Bush:
    "We are doing everything we can to avoid war in Iraq. But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm peacefully, he will be disarmed by force." [3/8/03]

    Bush: "Should Saddam Hussein choose confrontation, the American people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war, and every measure will be taken to win it." [3/17/03]
