What about Bush admin relying on forgeries to go to war?
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 11:50 PM by Onlooker
We should hold the Bush administration to the same standard as CBS. After all, the Bush administration used forged Nigerian documents (which purported to show Iraq was buying radioactive material) as part of its justification to invade Iraq. I believe Bush alluded to these documents in a State of the Union address.

7. W went to War
using documents he knew were forgeries, to build his case.

That is a much more serious crime, than whether or not some memos about W's illustrious military career are real.

If the WH wants to talk about forgery, bring 'em on.


Can you say Plame, W?

Who you going to out this time?
