While the U.S. media have finally gotten around to lamenting the faked intelligence that the Bush people foisted on an unsuspecting public to grease the skids to go to war - something we wrote about nearly two years ago - the Downing Street memo is now flying under the radar screen.
Some contend that's because the American press is too chicken-livered to really take on the president, especially in view of the fact that some are claiming the memo is the smoking gun that ought to lead to George Bush's impeachment.
If nothing else, the memo lends credence to those who have contended all along that the Bush administration was never serious about trying to avert this war, that its mind was made up, and all that had to be done was convince the American people that it was justified. That's when they cooked up the phony stories about Saddam's nuclear and biological weapons capabilities.
Frankly, if Bill Clinton needed to be impeached for lying about sex with an intern, George Bush ought to be tossed out of office for purposely lying to the American people.
