Complicity from the Covert operative in Blue must also be addressed. Pelosi & Reid- amongs a slew of others- must be held responsible for their enabling Actions and Inactions. what are they waiting for? this Doctrine of Oil at all costs has not only afflicted our country & the World for the last 8 years- but for decades. That is what lead to the Attacks of 9/11, the global quest for Oil and the subserviance to the 'royals' of the M.E.Blood of Millions is on their hands.

Leave it to Bill Moyers To tell the truth in media. Only if the others will follow in his foot steps will we have a more informed public. It always takes a crisis for people to pull there head out of the sand. Lets start by not electing idiots like Bush or his little brother McCain.

Dear Fox News: We invite you and Mr Bill to watch Listen and Learn in the hopes that some day you to may wish to do a similiar story on the REAL DEAL BEHIND IRAQ ! But that would mean you would have to go back and re-tract every bogus Pro-Bush pro-War Statement, every Slanted Anti-Demo/American twisted story you aired in fact you would have to flat out Apologize for everyword out of Mr O'rielly mouth since the Quote WMD Storys Broke. You would then have nothing left to do but to Apologize to Bill Moyers for the Disgraceful way that He was treated buy your Employee Mr Big Mouth Orielly .
