    Selective Amnesia

    The Neocons and the Radical Right wing Zionist Christians are hard at work revising history.

    Go back and read James Risen's article of November 6, 2002, "Iraq said to Have Tried to Reach a Last-Minute Deal to Avert War.

    Two quotes, hopefully not out of context: "..that they wanted Washington to know that Iraq no longer had weapons of mass destruction, and they offered to allow American troops and experts to conduct a search."

    "...the officials told him they did not want to pursue this channel, and they indicated they had already engaged in separate contacts with Bag dad. Mr. Perle said, "The message wad, 'Tell them that we will see them in Bag dad.'?

    Who are the Thees? Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Addington, Perle, Cheney, Albert Gonzales, Jim Haynes, Timothy Flanigan, John Yoo, C. Rice and Chairman of the War Department, Richard Meyers.
