PBS hatchet job

Yesterday, I noted that the Frontline show on global warming wasn't necessarily a Bush hit piece. Well that came last night on Bill Moyer's show.

The show was supposed to be on the press' lack of candor on what they knew to be lies from the Bush "regime" on the war. Most of the information these reporters had was based on CIA "intelligence".

Here's what we know about the CIA. It's dominated by liberal bureaucrats whose sole mission is to create a need then fill it and that their pre war intelligence was abysmal at best.

But, just like global warming, they failed to answer the fundamental question regarding the Iraq War..... What was the motivation for the Bush Administration to pursue a war based on "lies" and why would John Howard & Tony Blair follow suit?

The liberal mantra is that it was all about oil. But if it was all about oil, the Bushies could have simply lifted the sanctions on Iraqi oil exports.

There's much more to it than that. Even in the special, they showed clips of the neo cons and other pols advancing the cause of eliminating Saddam prior to 9/11. So it appears to me that there is information the public does not know that made it imperative to have a fundamental regime change in Iraq.

I'm no fan of Bush on this war because he's failed time and time again to communicate to the American people why it's necessary to spill American blood in a country that we had contained in some matter.

After the past few nights of watching PBS, at least I got to see first hand how our tax dollars are used for "independent news coverage".
