i've read everything you've posted about the downing street memo and still the language is too over my head... i have no idea what it is.

Basically, it's proof that the Bush Administration planned for the Iraq war long before they presented the idea to Congress... and that they manipulated the intelligence to suit the policy.

there was a downing street memo for WWII as well, that people aren't that familiar with.

"You know what's funny? Being the person that I am... yesterday I was excited about June 16th (the DSM Hearings)... I stopped at 7-11 to pick up some coffee (and spilled it ALL when I got home), but while I was there, I was standing in line, making coffee... and there was a guy there...

I said, "Hey... are you a Kerry or Bush fan?", and he said, "Well, I guess Kerry"... and I said, "Well guess what? They're having hearings on June 16th about the Downing Street Memo!!!", and he said, "The what?""

I saw qoutes in Al Franken's latest book from Bush from before 9/11 that said he's looking at Iraq and wanting to start something. Why do you need some fancy memo, and whats the hearing for?
