A Provocation 2 Thought

Don’t believe everything you read, hear or see (even on this site). Most of the “news” in print, on the radio, and on television is commentary. Not NEWS. Even the “facts” in a story are usually presented in such a way as to leave you thinking as the writer. Sometimes the “facts” are made up, or so distorted they no longer resemble the truth. My goal is to provoke you 2 thought. Read between the lines. Glean truth from many sources. Then… Think for yourself. Make up your own mind.

Terrorism NOT Linked to Saddam (Part 2)?

Prerequisite. Read my post: Terrorism NOT Linked to Saddam?

The day after the New York Times asks President Bush to apologize for what it calls his "plainly dishonest" effort to link the war in Iraq with the war on terror, Reuters reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin tells the world that, BEFORE the war in Iraq, Russian intelligence informed U.S. officials on several occasions that Iraq was planning terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Keep in mind that while telling us that we were in eminent danger from Saddam, the Russians, along with the French and the Germans, were trying to talk us out of going into Iraq. By the way, kudos to the Russians for sharing intelligence with us that added to our resolve to do something they wished us not to do.

Per my previous post on the issue, providing only a small amount of the huge piles of evidence connecting Saddam to terrorism, the evidence, even yesterday, would have told even those of us with the lowest of I.Q.s that there was definitely a link between Saddam and terrorism. Today we find that Saddam was DIRECTLY threatening the U.S. In essence he had declared a terroristic war on the U.S. And, rather than wait for another 9-11, was the president not required to take preemptive action?

I would assume that in order to protect sources, prevent public panic, etc. the Bush administration could not publicize this information earlier. Or, maybe they could have publicized this some time ago and were simply waiting for enough people to make fools of themselves first.

Will the New York times have the fortitude needed to, today, make their own apology to the president? Is there anyone (not in a vegetative state) who cannot connect the dots now?

Read more about it, then…

Think for yourself!

Make up your own mind!
