Talking Points
I watch the Sunday news shows for information. Some of the blatant bias sickens me, but still it's informative.
Yesterday, Fox News Sunday had a pair of moms who had lost their 19 year old sons in Iraq. One was pro-war, one anti-. You can read the transcript here.
What struck me was the anti-war moms strict adherence to talking points. Ignoring the facts that WMD was found, just not recognized by the Fifth Estate. For all of those who didn't think we found any WMD, here's what we have found to date:
-500 tons, that's 1 million pounds of yellow cake uranium. It was found at Saddam's nuclear weapons facility (yup...he had one of those too.)
-1.8 tons of partially enriched uranium found at the same place. You know, the stuff you need to make nukes.
-Hidden centrifuge parts and blueprints.
-Two dozen artillery shells loaded with Sarin and mustard gas.
And the contacts between Al Qaeda and Iraq's intelligence service has been documented multiple times in the press, albeit on page B22.
I can't say Ms. Porchia was lying, but she has certainly ignored facts.
My sympathies goes out to both women.
