Carol showed up network hacks

LISTENING to Carol Coleman’s interview with George Bush on Air America (accessible to Irish citizens via the internet) sharply defined the difference between his treatment by real journalists, such as Ms Coleman, and the network hacks we are saddled with here who have spent the last three years asking ‘how high?’ every time Bush commands: ‘jump!’

I urge everyone in Ireland indeed people worldwide to see 'Fahrenheit 9/11' as soon as possible, as it shows how and why America made the mess we find ourselves stuck in now.

Some critics in Ireland have described the American invasion of Iraq as 'illogical.' The pre-emptive invasion was in no way illogical it was in the planning for years (research Paul Wolfowitz and the 'New American Century' thesis), and the events of 9/11 gave Bush and his crowd perfect cover to implement their plans.
