"Memo-gate" is sucking WAY too much media oxygen from Iraq.

3. THAT is rove's plan....no ISSUES damaging to the boy king

4. well yea...

look how bad things are going in Iraq...so they will do whatever it takes to distract the American people from the mess BushCo has created...

5. this is a set-up, I believe

and we've been duped- those f*cking sleazy bastards

[betterdeadthanred]

6. And that is probably the goal

Keep the focus off the hellhole Iraq has become this month. Distract the sheeple so they don't see. Absolutely no one in the real world that I have met yet has said one word about this memo crap. Everyone is focused on Ivan. And only Ivan.

7. You're assuming it HAD some oxygen ...

Iraq is old news and people get bored. Sorry, thats the nature of the media. They didn't have a big add campaign saying

"American loses 1000 soldiers over fake weapons intelligence."
"America lied to: soldier 1000".
"America deceived: getting worse and worse."
"IRAQNAM!!!!!"

8. True, but it could be worse.

I'm covering my car with all the stickers in my sig - real people will see the reality of Iraq. On DU there is nobody to influence anyway and we just can't control the lazy ass media. I wish there were more independant types in the media but they are few and far between.
