DOWNING STREET MEMO UPDATE: ON MORAL CLARITY AND A DARK VISION

 
THE HERETIK: ON MORAL CLARITY AND A DARK VISION
At Some Point Soon the Bush Administration that Pats Itself on the Back for its Moral Clarity Will Take Some Necessary Knocks for its Dark Vision
That dark vision has now been revealed in a second British memo in regard to the planning of an illegal war and the lack of planning for its shameful aftermath.  But the vision is even more dark than that.  This seeming endless night has shadows far more black than many citizens would realize.  The time has come for citizens of this great free democratic republic of the United States of America to look into that abyss and cavity of moral darkness.  The time of truth shines near.

Journalist citizens and blogger patriots must do their part to point out what is now clear. The dark vision of this Bush Administration reveals an amoral clarity.  By any means possible it has sought the amoral end of absolute power by amoral means.  Let us not forget that the Bush administration ran on this lie of a war to secure power in the midterm elections of 2002.  Now discredited talk of nuclear clouds and smoking clouds were used to secure power then and similar lies were used in the Presidential election of 2004.  And what do we see now?  The growth of an imperial presidency, a rule by theocrats who would speak for a god as they talk down to the rest of us, a boy who would be president who toys with our future and soon the Supreme Court. 

George W. Bush has lied to this country on the war on Iraq.  He must be called to account for it.  He may clothe his arguments in a variety of colors. He may claim to wear a white hat.   We must see this dark vision clearly for what it is and what it could mean if the liar is allowed to continue to tell his tales without challenge.  We must see that the would be emperor has no clothes.  The naked truth demands an answer.  When and why did the President of the United States of America decide to go to war with Iraq? 

Our honored dead deserve an answer and we the living do as well.

Hey, you missed us. :(

[Myst]

The Washington Post has picked this up as well with the comment that a British source has confirmed the documents. Since the word "documents" is plural, it gives to reason that the DSM is aslo verified.
I put it in my blog this morning.

"creating the political conditions for military action"

It's interesting to note the criticisms in the brief as well, particularly of the US's lack of exit strategy.

Hi everyone. Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. Truth is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. You don't need anything else.
I am from Egypt and too bad know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Pet radioactivity supplements have been wound in exposure of the organism, and an approach in the ear of insect."

With respect :-), Jenny.
