NBC's Andrea Mitchell has awakened after a very long nap although she is still a bit groggy. She at least recognizes the Downing Street Memos exist and that they seem to indicate the Iraq war was inevitable.
But now, war critics have come up with seven more memos, verified by NBC News.
One, also from July 2002, says U.S. military planners had given "little thought" to postwar Iraq.
“The memos are startlingly clear that the British saw that there was inadequate planning, little planning for the aftermath,” says Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
And maybe Cheney is a bit loose with the truth?
Vice President Dick Cheney also told a National Press Club luncheon Monday, “Any suggestion that we did not exhaust all alternatives before we got to that point, I think, is inaccurate.”
In fact, current and former diplomats tell NBC News they understood from the beginning the Bush policy to be that Saddam had to be removed — one way or the other. The only question was when and how.
If Bushco has lost NBC (General Electric) he's in even deeper shit than the polls would indicate.
