Prewar British Memo Says War Decision Wasn't Made

The so-called "Smoking Gun" Downing Street memo really has very little bite to it and is certainly not official considering it is the opinion of one anonymous source. And still so many anti-Bush anti-Iraq war anti-everything use it as proof we've been lied to. The facts don't bear that out. But, don't let the facts get in the way of opinion.

This other memo covered by the New York Times, certainly not an official or unofficial arm of the Republican party, even flys in the face of that "smoking gun" memo. Why aren't those critics mentioning this memo? Oh, yeah. It doesn't suit their purposes.
