To the Media,
A reporter from a well established news paper sent me this link and story along
with the PDF files that you can read. But, this Iraq War has gone too far and
our men and women are over there risking their lives while this administration
makes up some more lies according to Sam Gardiner who taught at the National
War College. So, while the mantra is support our troops and while over three
hundred are dead, it is your responsibility to these men and women to hold this
administration accountable. Also let us not forget that Bush has not attended
one single military funeral. No, he has just been too busy on the campaign
trail. Well DAMNIT our men and women deserve an honest Commander and Chief
leading them. One who actually cares about them and not just uses them as a
backdrop for his own self serving desires.
Frankly, I do not care who owns your media outlet, these brave soldiers deserve
better than what they have gotten. They are over there protecting your way of
life, and you who have remained complicit in helping this administration spread
their lies have done nothing to protect them. Others that have pushed the
envelope within the media deserve our praise.
In my opinion, impeachment is too good for George W. Bush. He should be tried
as a war criminal.
Regards,
Mary MacElveen

Wilson Adds Ammo to Hit War Credibility Gap
Just as former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's story that Bushies blew his CIA
wife's cover to get back at his criticism of the war in Iraq was getting old,
he has stumbled on new ammo to hit the administration's credibility. Wilson
tells us he plans to circulate the text of a briefing by analyst Sam Gardiner
that suggests the White House and Pentagon made up or distorted over 50 war
stories. You know some tall tales, like the Pvt. Jessica Lynch story. But
there's more, says Gardiner, a war gamer who has taught at the National War
College. Like how defense officials said the first Iraqi unit marines
encountered, the 51st Mechanized Infantry Division, had surrendered four days
before it actually did. And he says Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Joint
Chiefs Chairman Gen. Richard Myers gave bad or deliberately incomplete info on
several topics. Sure, propaganda has always been used in war to deceive and
demoralize the enemy. But these guys went way overboard, Gardiner says. "Never
before have so many stories been created to sell a war," he insists. "And they
probably didn't need it."
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are
to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile,
but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Republican President
