Turn off your TV'S: Bush Media Blitz prepared for the coming week! Sunday
Shows will not have Aministration officials but will have Biden, Lugar and John Kerry defending why we need to spend the 87 Billion in Iraq, and Repugs will also defend the spending and make the case that "even though WMD have NOT been found In Iraq, the Liberation was still the right thing to do. This media Blitz is to convince the American Public that the war and spending are positive steps in winning Peace and that things in Iraq are going well, it's the media that isn't portraying the situation correctly. This is according to Juan Williams on NPR this afternoon.

He also said Bush will be giving speeches all day Monday around US trying to prove his case about Iraq.

I just heard Cheney on C-Span and had to turn it off! He was saying that "Liberating Iraq kept Saddam from using his WMD/ Chemical and Biological against us!" I couldn't believe he's REPEATING THE LIE! (I also think he slipped in Nuclear), but I can't quote on that. He looked up from his notes to the audience as if he was emphasizing...YES, I"M TELLING YOU ....HE HAD THEM (The look on his face was emphatic.) Then, he said: "And, the terrorists who have congregated to Iraq will be taken care of in Iraq, and not on the Streets of America." (That sentence is an Exact quote) Then he went on about how the Cold War was Evil and we ended that, and Saddam was Evil and we have ended that and we will rout Evil wherever it takes us in fighting terrorism. (Loose quote)

So, Cheney is repeating the LIE and thinking he will get away with it. He must be deranged, because he WON'T. :grr:

3. Only the media can stop the GOP lies - and don't hold your breathe
how partisan and unaccountable the GOP are being and how little the media are doing about it is just not a topic the media wants to talk about.

Now - if you want the media to dump on Dems for being "partisan and unaccountable" - well, that is in their job description these days.

6. Because they have Leakers! The Leakers are after Cheney/Rummy...and the
Wilson/Plame TreasonGate has legs. That's why I said turn the TV off. What have we here on DU every learned from watching the cables and networks. NOTHING.

It's all on the internet and the print media. Just remember we knew first here that there were no WMD! We were correct. And, people in GB already know there weren't any WMD. The story broke there and Blairs polls are way down to 38% approval. Bush & Co. think we don't get our information from anywhere but CNN and MSNBC.

That's why I said they won't get away with it. Remember: "Fool Me Once"....."Fool Me Twice?" And, that Little Boy who Cried "Wolf" too many times.

No. they won't succeed.

4. Cheney's right!
If we give them zip codes the terrorists won't attack.........same is true with big new shiny garbage trucks. Iraq has wanted this all along and have been waiting for us to go to war so we could fulfill their dreams about zip codes and garbage trucks.

Maybe they could spin this to see if the gullible people will belived it. This makes about as much sense as they have been spinning....absolutly no sense at all.
