Drudge: NOW BBC TAKES ON WHITE HOUSE!

[LeftCoast]

With link to the following story:

White House "warned over Iraq claim"

Looks like it's jumped the pond, kids!

1. I have to say,

I'm getting a perverse satisfaction out of this

[wtmusic]

3. Hey are_we, welcome to DU

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

but your satisfaction, it's not really perverse at all.

AAMOF, everyone here at DU has got their popcorn, kicked back, and we're ready for the show...

so, BRING IT ON!!

4. I think most of us are

These are things we've been saying for months, but no one cared to listen. I'm glad they're finally starting to listen now, though there's tens of thousands of lives lost thanks to the...delay.

7. As I'm sure Scalia did when he subverted democracy

no doubt.

2. Poodle is claiming he has other evidence on a Niger purchase

but won't specify...you know, national security (job security?)

5. Arrogance breeds contempt for the truth

The CLAP and their minion Tony pulled the wool over the eyes of the people, well, most of them, to go ahead with a war they knew was not morally good on a unilateral basis.

Now, their big lie exposed, they poo poo it away with "Oh, we didn't know" thing.

These guys really take us for fools don't they?

6. he...

.... hasn't had time to fabricate it yet.

His marching orders "use names of current officials this time dammit!"

[HFishbine]

8. Say what?

"The CIA warned the US Government that claims about Iraq's nuclear ambitions were not true months before President Bush used them to make his case for war, the BBC has learned."

Say what? The BBC just learned this? How long has this information been floating around DU? I've been aware that the CIA debunked the nuclear claim in March 2002 for at least a couple of months now.

I'm glad this is getting exposure, but it boggles my mind that the news at DU is months ahead of the "legit" media. What gives?
