THE GREATEST STORY EVER SOLD

[bryanz]

I could have wrote this book. Frank Rich explores the relationship between the NY Times and the White House. I was breaking this down months ago right here. What do you think Weasel ? Your boy Bush and the No good NY Times. You always said the Times was aiding and abetting the enemy. I always say the enemy is us. I guess you and I are not that far off.

a moment of clarity?......maybe realityis setting in...as opposed to theory.....

i want kennedy/truman and roosevelt back....now.....

here`s some of it..and the link...

"At its most extreme, liberal denial has found expression in a growing subculture of conspiracy theorists who believe that the atrocities of 9/11 were orchestrated by our own government. A nationwide poll conducted by the Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University found that more than a third of Americans suspect that the federal government "assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East;" 16% believe that the twin towers collapsed not because fully-fueled passenger jets smashed into them but because agents of the Bush administration had secretly rigged them to explode.
Such an astonishing eruption of masochistic unreason could well mark the decline of liberalism, if not the decline of Western civilization. There are books, films and conferences organized around this phantasmagoria, and they offer an unusually clear view of the debilitating dogma that lurks at the heart of liberalism: Western power is utterly malevolent, while the powerless people of the Earth can be counted on to embrace reason and tolerance, if only given sufficient economic opportunities."

Your response is nice and has more to do with the price of tea in China than what this book is about and what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how the NY Times and this White House sold this war to the American People. Do you remember when Judy Miller was this Presidents girl friday ? You know what I'm taking about right. Not that crazy boogeyman man under the bed stuff you like to throw out to get off the subject. Stay with me. Do you even know what this book is about ?

Of course they did a sales job. Cheney took lead. He was still back in 80's and 91 war. He would sell it again. It had nothing to do with WMD. Truth is we should have stayed in Afghans and finished job. And for sure went into Pakistan mountains how far we had to, to get Bin. Just think we may have been all done there. Instead now we need to send troops back again for that screw up by this administration.
