Mirror.co.uk - News - EXCLUSIVE: BUSH PLOT TO BOMB HIS ARAB ALLY

America trying to level the Al Jazeera news network? Never!!

Mirror.co.uk - News - EXCLUSIVE: BUSH PLOT TO BOMB HIS ARAB ALLY: "The attack would have led to a massacre of innocents on the territory of a key ally, enraged the Middle East and almost certainly have sparked bloody retaliation."

I JUST found this story now, yet it's dated Nov. 22nd. OK, I'll admit, I don't read the paper or watch the news as much as I should, but this sounds pretty big. Between "The Daily Show", blogs, internet lounging, CBC and CNN, you'd THINK I would have heard about this, right? You'd THINK would have been talked about just a LITTLE more.



What's my point? To me, this is HUGE and extremely scary news, had Bush done what the article suggests he wanted to do. Isn't it amazing how stories of such importance and potential global impact are so easily over looked? Kind of reminds me of another little memo that was floating around some time ago.

The other Downing Street Memo...

...and a website dedicated to it.

So what did I get INSTEAD in my news-watching this week? Something about Oprah being on Letterman next week, AND....



Bush shakeing hands with a Genghis Khan look-a-like somewhere in some Asian-esc country.

Of course, I don't know WHICH Asian-esc country, but that's not really important. What IS important, is that this said country was not, I repeat, NOT America. See? We can be worldly, right? We get along with other countries? Weird lookin' people in forin' places gooood!

Then again, for all that I know, it could have been a sound-stage in Burbank. Maybe even the same one where this famous photo was taken.


(no offense Neil)

A quick check on CNN's site, reveals nothing, but American reps denying everything (surprised?)

CNN.com - 'Bomb Jazeera' memo: Media warned - Nov 23, 2005: "Two men face trial under Britain's Official Secrets Act in connection with release of the memo, and the attorney general's office warned news organizations that the case against them should proceed 'without prejudice.'"

Well, that about wraps it up then, right?

"A White House official told CNN, 'We are not going to dignify something so outlandish with a response.' And a Pentagon official called the Daily Mirror report 'absolutely absurd.' "

Well, if the Pentagon says it's so, then it must be so, right?. Case closed.

Reuters reported the following on the 25th:

National, World and Business News | Reuters.com: "The Daily Mirror newspaper reported on Tuesday that a secret British government memo said British Prime Minister Tony Blair had talked Bush out of bombing Al Jazeera's headquarters in Qatar in April last year."

So...let me get this straight. Help me out here. A bunch of guys in England are on trial for a memo that's being denied even exists. When asked about it, the british refuse to comment, and the American's blow it off as utter nonsense (or as the Queen would say, "Rubbish"). Oh, and Oprah is opening on Broadway in a few weeks.

Even scarier, this "memo"(keep in mind I'm still undecided on ANYONE'S credibility here) was from APRIL, which means, WHO THE HELL CARES! THE PHANTOM TRAIN HAS LEFT THE METAPHORICAL STATION.

Well shoot Billy-Bob, they're just a bunch A-Rabs out to take our freedom and liberty and what-not, anyway, right? F*CK 'EM ALL!!!
