Downing Street Memo- Fixed Facts Proof

Posted By ben On 26th August 2005 @ 13:54 In Iraq, US Govt, Impeach | No Comments

From the Top Secret Downing Street Memo: July 23, 2002 British Chief of Intelligence Richard Dearlove told Tony Blair and his Cabinet that “war was inevitable” and the “facts were being fixed around the policy” in DC.

5 weeks later on August 26th, Dick Cheney was the first to “fix the facts”. In a major speech Cheney proclaimed, “We now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to aquire nuclear weapons. Among other sources, we’ve gotten this from firsthand testimony from defectors, including Saddam’s own son in law.” In fact, Saddam’s son in law’s classified testimony was leaked to Newsweek 4 weeks before the war, exposing Cheney’s claim as a bald-faced lie. Newsweek broke the story, but it didn’t “gain traction” as the push to war was in full swing.(Source: Ray McGovern’s opening statement at the DSM hearing mp3 audio)

Bush and his staff Fixed the Facts with the Niger Uranium documents, which turned out to be crude forgeries- so bad how did our experts ever believe them? Tenet had removed this claim from an earlier speech- Condi explained, “people simply forgot…” that’s why it was in Dubya’s State of the Union. People didn’t forget - ‘war was inevitable’ - this was them ‘fixing the facts’.

Colin Powell’s speech to the UN Feb 5, 2003 - more ‘fixing the facts’.

Blair fixed the facts with the ‘Dodgy Dossier‘ and the bogus 45 min claim supplied by Allawi.

?? Fixed the facts when, just before the vote, someone told Senators in a closed door session that Saddam had UAVs capable of delivering biological weapons to the East Coast. Now that is fixing the facts!

Proof Positive. All that talk about war as a last resort was a load of BS. Dearlove said they were going to “fix the facts” and there you have it, several major cases of fact fixing.

This is not complicated, it just been buried by the media. This evidence is worthy of impeachment. And considering Congress’ silence, they should all be tossed as well.
