MSNBC, HuffPo Finally Air Wilkerson's FIRST HAND EVIDENCE On Iraq War " HOAX "

" A million or more protested in streets across the globe in 2003, even before Bush's Iraq Team, led by Dick Cheney, declared the US at war. The foreign relations wonks and the whole wired world knew Iraq's military capability had been long contained. UN weapons inspectors reported no WMD and Saddam Hussein was a tinpot dictator smuggling oil for Chevron in violation of UN sanctions while Condoleezza Rice served as international public affairs director.


We know now that bald lies duped us into the war - convicted Plamegate perjurer Scooter Libby fed lies about WMD in Iraq disguised as leaks to completely besot NY Times reporter Judith Miller, which touched off a chain reaction of liars lying in the liarsphere: Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell all spread out to ring the alarm bells in the media, in Congress and at the UN. Note carefully what President Bush himself said on Polish TV on May 29, 2003:



"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."


Note the heavy leaning on Powell's credibility.

Rumsfeld was caught in his own lie on live TV by Thomas Friedman and Tim Russert on Face The Nation,

but the mainstream media did not expand on this in the evening news.


Beginning in 2006, PBS broke the silence - Secretary of State Colin Powell's #2 took public an account of duplicity long absent from US media headlines. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson's internal research into the Abu Ghraib scandal shook him to the core, making him question his loyalty to a runaway administration and his greater duty to his nation. Powell's Chief of Staff announced the Iraq War was a "hoax" and recounted the doubts expressed at the time by Secretary Powell as CIA Director George Tenet seemed to play organ grinder for a tyrannical Dick Cheney. Also on that program, the chief weapons inspector for the UN Hans Blix revealed that Cheney told him to lie in a meeting to President Bush or be discredited.

1. Rec, rec, rec!

[polichick]

2. Shhhh, we're looking forward. nt

[Enthusiast]

24. Obama is part of it. He has a huge role

in this.

[Bandit]

3. It is a good thing for people to know about this but nothing will ever come of it.

The "war criminals" will continue on as they always have expressing disdain for anyone of a lessor stature than they feel they have.. They are laughing at us peons..It won't be long until it is all repeated with torture and missing billions and all..

[Segami]

5. There is always room for optimism. Justice might not materialize on our timetable

or our expectations, but it will eventually come out in the wash and rear its face.

[obxhead]

29. Maybe. It will likely be after all of the offenders have died

having lived long and carefree lives. All that will be left is to trash their name a little.

I'm deeply upset that Obama is complicit in this continuing crime.

[Segami]

35. Disappointed would be quite an understatement for me. Championing righteous

causes for those that need a ' bold in-your-face leadership voice ' has been tossed into the attic by him and his advisors, collecting dust while becoming nothing more than a perky memorable speech. I cannot put my finger on the reasons for his very puzzling turnabout.

The ongoing politics of getting re-elected has been their primary focus from the get-go. Representing the ' people's business ' has taken a back seat position riddled with never-ending compromises that is currently serving the rethugligans well.

[obxhead]

36. I would argue he isn't working so hard on getting reelected as

he is getting reelection campaign dollars.

The thing is, Obama is continuing the crimes of the Bush admin. From the Patriot Act (what a joke of a name that is) to the wars, Obama is no better than the last boss. Hell, he's worse in some respects such as drone bomb attacks on suspected (get that SUSPECTED) "terrorists."

Yeah school is a bit easier for some to get a loan for, some will get health insurance (notice I don't say care), and the girls got a cool puppy, but all in all the principles of the prior admin is still rolling forward at full steam. Money for the rich by breaking the backs of everyone else.

I think there is a reason Obama won't go after Bush. He knows they will do it to him as well, rightfully so.

[bigmonkey]

6. Your assertions are based on facts not in evidence.

I contend that your main social effect in such statements is discouragement of effective action. Leaving positive change open as a possibility is neither delusional nor ineffective.

[dreamnightwind]

12. Thank you

There's a lot of that on DU, counter-productive "it won't matter" posts. Glad you called it out, it matters if enough people say it matters.

4. Good stuff. k&r

9. Kick

Let's keep the ball rolling.

[hulka38]

10. The Democratic Party's efforts

to sweep this under the rug has nearly destroyed my confidence in the party's commitment to its principles. It would mean bringing to light its own complicity in the sale of the Iraq War to the American public.

sadly true, so unecessary too

13. Moving story...

...this story is seeing some follow up now - Powell, Drumheller and even a member of the Iraqi National Congress has weighed in. More to come...

[glinda]

14. K & R n/t

[Imagevision]

15. Nothing will come of this because the MSM control what we read, what info is available

meanwhile guys like Chris Mathews suggest that we listen to his "let's play hardball act...

[Amerigus]

16. Is the HuffPo part of the MSM?

Long time Mid East correspondent for the Toronto Sun Times chimes in regarding media complicity:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-margolis/how-curveball-made-monkey_b_826074.html

I commented he was on the right track except he didn't name names....

[keopeli]

20. Before or after the merger with AOL?

[Amerigus]

34. Good question...

...the consensus would then be that they were indie before the merger and are now MSM?

If so, they are breaking ground covering this story, no?

[Major Hogwash]

32. Fuck Matthews. That's beside the point. The MSM doesn't control Obama's Justice Department!

So, the ball is in his court.
Is it going to be another "slam dunk" that Obama, or none of the Dems, do anything about it?

I think you know the answer to that by now.
Too many fucking books have already been written by the war criminals bragging that they ordered and approved of torture.
I thought criminals in this country were not supposed to get rich from selling books about how they committed their fucking crimes!!!!

[Raster]

19. War criminals, liars and murderers.

bush*, cheney*, rice*, rove* and rumsfeld*. War criminals and traitors.

[grahamhgreen]

21. Looking forward... To prosecutions!

"What's the big deal. Aren't you all used to Republicon lies by now? Smirk."

[Enthusiast]

23. What we are going through now,

this attack on working people and the economic collapse, is only a continuation of the plans put into action when the SCOTUS falsified the election of 2000. This is a SLOW MOTION fascist coup de' eta on the United States of America. Frog...boiling water....ringing bell?

26. This is all behind us now

no need to worry about the past - let bygones by bygones so we can recycle the same crowd the next time a Republic is elected president. Sec of State Paul Wolfowitz; Sec of Defense Bruce Feith; Atty General John Yoo...

[GeorgeGist]

27. The Official Liars have changed ...

but the game is unchanged.

The Rich win until their pawns destroy them.

[blackspade]

28. prosecutions?

We're waiting Holder....

30. Punish the evil doers

War and those who pursue it must pay for their crimes.

33. Who you gonna call....????

...MythBusters?

You keep playing around with your two party system, huffin' and puffin' about how important it is while the REAL game is going on behind your backs.

The realgame has you locked into the pursuit of 'shiny trinkets', metaphorically speaking. They convinced you that without them, you die a horrible death, after suffering discrimination, isolation, desperation and eventually separation from whatever kept you sane.

Justice is a work in progress. That keeps me sane...
