this is what i remember:
after 9/11 i remember the white house saying there was an axis of evil.
i remember the white house saying we needed to be afraid of iraq - because they were part of this axis.
i remember bush said that they had weapons of mass destruction.
i remember condi rice implying they had nuclear capability.
i remember niger and yellowcake.
i remember a memo from italy.
i remember colin powell going to the UN and holding up a chart.
at the same time i also remember old CIA and UN weapons inspectors saying that none of that was the case.
i remember colin powell's presentation being totally bogus.
i remember the whole yellowcake thing being totally bogus, too. (hello, valerie plame.)
i remember news items saying the italian memo was bogus, too.
so out of all this bogucity, wherefor all this revision?
(need a timeline? i found one here.)

Ah the republicans. They're not going to take the blame for being wrong. Methinks they doth protest a lot.
Oh, of course your memory's not better than Dick Cheney's. The difference between you is that every fiber of your being is not evil incarnate.
bushco isn't about to let a few facts stand between them and world domination. it's the meedja's job to obfuscate and huck out the shrill propaganda.
If lies need to be told in order to keep the masses afraid and pliable, so be it.
there's oil in them thar hills, it's their quarry and where they and we are going to remain.
A-non
