I keep hearing that the "Downing Street Memos" are not that relevant because they do not reveal anything new. Wrong! What they do is provide actual hard evidence about things that had been rumored by some, written about by others, but heard by few.
I knew that we went into war for reasons other then the ones that were given by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Powell, but many believed every word they said. And every lie they told. These memos are the jumping off point. Now we are looking at all of the other circumstantial evidence and seeing a clear and undeniable cohesiveness which makes everything easily understood even by those who would rather not know. With these documents as the anchor maybe we can bring this behemoth to a halt and get our soldiers home and start to bring those accountable for the lies to justice.
I also read that the media did not know what we bloggers wanted from all of this. Well speaking just for myself I want justice. I want every responsible member of this administration punished for their role in starting a war on false evidence. I want a message sent to the next president, and the next, and the next, that we will not be used as pawns in a war for any self serving reasons. That we are willing to fight and to die for the freedom of this country and to protect our loved ones but we will not suit up for just any whim that occurs to our leaders.
