Really? Bush also told us that he knew -"" emphasis on knew -"" that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction"- and chemical weapons and was getting set produce nuclear weapons, and those aluminum tubes were for making such weapons, and on and on. And the press respectfully reported every claim. And we know it was a package of lies, and that most of the reporters had to have known that.
We knew, how could they not?
Is Loven sure that this time, unlike all the other times, Bush is telling the truth? By her phrasing, she tells us she is sure. Do you trust her?
And why does the story ""- in fact, every story that reports administration tales of Iran's supposed nuclear threat -"" not mention the fact that almost every major intelligence agency in the western world has stated that the country's nuclear weapons effort, which apparently wasn't much to begin with, ended in 2003?
If we believe what passes for news on television and in the once-were newspapers and magazines, if the press "is America,"- this is a doomed country.
