A few of the mainstream news media are starting to ask questions that Bush & Company don't want to hear, but why aren't more news people asking MORE questions?

CONSERVATIVE TEXAS CONGRESSMAN Ron Paul listed over 30 of the right questions to ask on the House floor on 9/10/2002, but he was ignored by the media.

Just a few of those questions were:

IS IT NOT TRUE:

...that the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency was able to complete its yearly verification mission to Iraq just this year with Iraqi cooperation?

...that former President Bush cited the UN Resolution of 1990 as the reason he could NOT march into Baghdad, while supporters of a new attack assert that it is the very reason we CAN march into Baghdad?

...that the intelligence community has been unable to develop a case tying Iraq to global terrorism at all, much less the attacks on the United States last year? Does anyone remember that 15 of the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and that none came from Iraq?

...that we would be taking precious military and intelligence resources away from tracking down those who did attack the United States – and who may again attack the United States – and using them to invade countries that have NOT attacked the United States?

... that an attack on Iraq would just confirm the Arab world's worst suspicions about the US – and isn't this what bin Laden wanted?

...that former CIA counter-terrorism chief Vincent Cannistraro might not have been wrong when he recently said there is no confirmed evidence of Iraq’s links to terrorism?

...that the CIA has concluded there is no evidence that a Prague meeting between 9/11 hijacker Atta and Iraqi intelligence took place?

...that northern Iraq, where the administration claimed al-Qaeda were hiding out, is in the control of our "allies," the Kurds?

...that the vast majority of al-Qaeda leaders who escaped appear to have safely made their way to Pakistan, another of our so-called allies and NOT IRAQ?

Is it not true that the constitutional power to declare war is exclusively that of the Congress? Should presidents, contrary to the Constitution, allow Congress to concur only when pressured by public opinion? Are presidents permitted to rely on the UN for permission to go to war?

Are you aware of a Pentagon report studying charges that thousands of Kurds in one village were gassed by the Iraqis, which found no conclusive evidence that Iraq was responsible, that Iran occupied the very city involved, and that evidence indicated the type of gas used was more likely controlled by Iran not Iraq?

Is it not true that anywhere between 100,000 and 300,000 US soldiers have suffered from Persian Gulf War syndrome from the first Gulf War, and that thousands may have died?

Are we prepared for American casualties in a war against a country that does not have the capacity to attack the United States?

Are we willing to bear the economic burden of a $100 billion war against Iraq, with oil prices expected to skyrocket and further rattle an already shaky American economy? How about an estimated 30 years occupation of Iraq that some have deemed necessary to "build democracy" there?

But, yeah, it's all about the liberals trying to "get" President Bush. A vast left wing conspiracy. :lol:
