Now that the Downing Street Memo along with Rove/Plame/Treason-Gate has effectively been buried alive in media coverage and the public conscious, BushCo has announced that * will spend the next five days justifying the war and attempting to tie it directly to 9/11. This is pretty obviously a Rovian counter-offensive to the 'Cindy Effect'; one mother's simple quest for the truth behind her son's unnecessary death, to the detriment of the prez's ratings. Nearly 2/3 of Americans now believe this administration's course of action in Iraq is wrong.
This five day propaganda/mountain bike tour will apparently be followed up by The Mother of All Rumsfeld Brain-Farts: a Pentagon sponsored march on Sept. 11 to reinforce the Iraq-9/11 connection, against all evidence before, during, and since the invasion.
The Chimp will be arriving here in Boise tomorrow afternoon to kick off his mid-vacation "Lie and Distort" tour with a "terror speech" (billed as such) for Idaho military personnel. He will no doubt gain a few cheers. But the ghosts of Casey Sheehan and Idaho Iraq fatalities may be left wondering WHY?
