April, 2007

April 26, 2007 - Is Pat Tillman “worm dirt” as Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich says that he is? No! Pat Tillman is a hero.

In the Secretary of Defense he had the perfect ally in his effort to bend the facts to fit the PNAC agenda. Cheney would declare that Saddam Hussein was at the center of the 9-11 plot and Rumsfeld’s Pentagon would provide the “intelligence” to back him up. Cheney would declare that Saddam was just a step away from having an atomic bomb and Rumsfeld’s intelligence shop would provide the mushroom cloud......click here for entire article
