With these new revelations about the Iraq War being planned in 2002 coming out
It's time to remember this email by Jack Abramoff.

"I was sitting with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when (your) email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq. That did not seem to work anyway. Bush seems to love Sharon and Israel, and thinks Arabfat (sic) is nothing but a liar. I thought I'd pass that on."

- Jack Abramoff, March 18, 2002.

The UK parliament is going to investigate those messages, when will our Congress investigate this email?

1. new revelations???
has nothing to do with your post, but are we hearing about new revelations about the war being planned before we were told it was being planned?

I was working for DoD Intel and saw it coming prior to 9/11. I quit working for the government in early 2002 (about the same time this email is dated).

Hopefully soon, we will grasp and understand that this war, both of them actually, had been planned well before 9/11. Maybe after we start to understand some of the evils that the gwb admin was capable of doing, the events of 9/11 will no longer be a taboo subject reserved for internet chatrooms.

Vidication is sweet, even if it has left me unemployable in my field because of my scruples.
