A Time to Step Up, As Patriots...
What Is the Downing St. Memo ?
(DOCUMENTS)
Nobody wants to go war. We trust our leaders to shed blood in our name only when absolutely necessary. Two years after the start of the Iraq War, Americans are just learning that our government was dead set on taking our nation to war.
The Downing Street Memo, recently leaked, reveals that President George W. Bush decided to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in the summer 2002 and—determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policies—"fixed" the intelligence and facts.
What has come to be known as the Downing Street "Memo" is actually a document containing meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002. The Times of London printed the text of this document on Sunday, May 1, 2005.
The contents of the memo are shocking. The minutes detail how our government did not believe Iraq was a greater threat than other nations; how intelligence was manipulated to sell the case for war to the American public; and how all the talk of "war as a last resort" was mere hollow pretense.
Regardless of politics, every American should ask themselves: Was I misled? Did President Bush tell me the truth when he said he would not take us to war unless absolutely necessary?
Please join us in demanding that we get to the bottom of this issue. For if we do not demand the truth from our government here, where the Downing Street Memo is so damning, then we may as well forever cease holding our government accountable.
