Iraq: From Alternet, Frida Berrigan comments on weapons of mass deception:

… these grim forecasts were wrong. Despite the advance hype, Hussein’s dreaded arsenal was not the biggest threat to Americans on the battlefield in Iraq. In fact, it was no threat at all.

The real threat – not only to U.S. troops but to Iraqis as well – may prove to be a weapon scarcely mentioned before, during or after the war: depleted uranium.

US: From the Memory Hole, a 5-minute video of Bush 43 on the morning of 9/11. The networks made some cuts when they broadcast this tape, which shows “… President Bush sitting in a Florida classroom for 5 minutes after he was told that the second Twin Tower has been hit and that America was being attacked. A truncated version of this footage that has been available online since June 2002 shows Bush for only 2 minutes, 10 seconds after being told. This new footage more than doubles this length of time.”
