Freepers going ballistic "Memo is fake" .....3 weeks later

[niceypoo]

Well, well, well! It only took them 3 weeks! They first tried explaining away the memo saying "Its old news anyway". Now that the wheels are turning out of their control suddenly the memos are "OMG!!" FAKE!!!!

"How convenient that the originals were destroyed, ha ha."

"If the memos weren't fake, why did the reporter destroy the originals? A good reporter would have kept the originals locked up somewhere."

1. By now, you should realize that all...

... freepers have their heads up their asses.... Please see tagline for their real problem. :P

[cthrumatrix]

2. I'm disappointed that it took soooooooooooooo long for thier lie...really.

[Goldeneye]

3. At least they realize how damning the memos are ...

When they finally accept they are real, then what will they do?

[Fluffdaddy]

15. They tried they damn best not to post about it until they realize it...

Was Now hitting the MSM. So now they are playing up this Fake memo Bullshit................Not going to work wing-nuts

[lynch03]

4. I think it was pretty freaking stupid to destroy the originals

Do we now have any solid proof to verify the memos actual existence, people are just going to use this to prove that the memo was manufactured..

[DODI]

6. Blair confirmed them in the press conference.

Neither gov't is denying their existence. If they are fake, Blair and * would have said so.

[democrat_patriot]

8. From another post. Originals NOT destroyed.

The reporter made photocopies of the originals, returned originals back to owner.

There are many 'originals' that government officials have in their possession.

Also - they have been verified by the British Foreign Office.

12. Thanks, d_p, I knew I also had read that and was

just trying to figure out how to find this info. Searching 'DSM' would have been more than I wanted to tackle so I'm glad you saw the same thing!

Edit to add: so I searched anyway:

From Downing Street to Capitol Hill
New leaked memos are raising further questions about whether the Bush administration ‘fixed’ its intel to justify the Iraq war.

WEB EXCLUSIVE
By Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball
Newsweek
Updated: 6:43 p.m. ET June 17, 2005June 15 - Two senior British government officials today acknowledged as authentic a series of 2002 pre-Iraq war memos stating that Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program was "effectively frozen" and that there was "no recent evidence" of Iraqi ties to international terrorism—private conclusions that contradicted two key pillars of the Bush administration's public case for the invasion in March 2003.

[ET Awful]

9. The Butler Committee (a UK committe investigating the WMD claims)

has quoted the documents on their official record and accepted them as authentic.

Michael Smith, the journalist who first received the leaked documents was given specific instructions by the papers attorneys on how to handle them.

21. They didn't destroy the originals -- pay attention!

You are buying into their disinfo campaign. Please read the story.

The originals were returned to the original source, as they are British intelligence documents. The journalist that released this info was just following strict procedure on how to handle top secret documents from UK intelligence.

The originals are safe in possession of British intelligence. They have acknowledge the released info is correct and accurate.

The freepers have no game on this one.

[MadisonProgressive]

5. Some big talkers

I live in fear that they will bring out the entire 6 person strong DC chapter to protest!:rofl:

[Fluffdaddy]

10. "6 person strong DC chapter to protest!" ......That's a Killer.....LOL

[niceypoo]

16. I remember them!

The folks with the pot bellies and misspelled signs. Oh, and don't forget the mulletts......

[ET Awful]

13. It seems to have escaped their attention that there are more signatories

to the petition regarding the DSM than there are Freepers in their entirety.

[bunny planet]

7. Not going to work this time Freepaholics.

[rox63]

14. Yep, that must be why

The British Govt says they're real

[Dr Fate]

17. The DEM leadership gave them all the time in the world to do this...

...I'll bet it will work too.

That's what happens when you drag your feet- the other side defines the issue and WINS.

Thanks Kerry, Dean, Hillary, Reid,Obama, etc- thanks for your deafening silence.

[cthrumatrix]

18. of course "thier handlers" (corp) ask them to keep quiet....

[Dr Fate]

20. You mean the DEM "strategists" who lost the last 3 election cycles?

Yeah- those guys are great. Their "me too" strategy of 2002 got great results- as did their "dont call Bush a liar or bother to refute his lies about your record" strategy of 2004.

I'm glad the Donna Braziles of the party are still whispering in all the right ears.

[killbotfactory]

19. The originals were returned to the gov't

the content has been confirmed.

Freepers are stupid

[KingFlorez]

22. They're scared

Not even Bush or his lackies have said the memos we're fake. They've failed to lie their way of this, so now they result to calling the information fake.

[Dr Fate]

23. All the media has to say is "Many sources are saying they are fake."

It's not like anyone in the DEM leadership will challenge it or anything.


Hell- most DEM leaders wont even go on TV and talk about it at all.

[Emendator]

24. War evidence was fake

The entire war was based on fake evidence. Now they want to play Sherlock Holmes. What a joke.

[niceypoo]

25. Theres a freeper born every minute

Life in an intellectual vaccume requires much blind faith and loyalty. Pay ye no attention to the man behind the curtain!
