Memos--What Memos?

Now the Conservative SpinMeisters are trying to deligitimize the evidence (Memos) by creating rumors that they are bogus. So far I haven't heard anyone in the Blair administration deny their authenticity--but who needs the memos?
It was obvious from the start that the Bush and Blair administrations were engaging in a Propaganda campaign using the flimsiest of examples to promote a war--case in point: Drones, they said Saddam was planning on using them to attack the U.S.--from 7000 miles away? Not even our own sophisticated Drones had that capability. Then there was the "aluminum tubes", ordered openly over the Internet, that nuclear experts said to the administration that they were unsuitable for use as parts of an uranium centrifuge, they were too thick, too short, and were anodized. An aluminum tube alone does not a centrifuge make. Then there was the "yellow-cake" uranium ore--worthless without the centrifuges; besides the French had control over the mining of yellow cake and it was already sold; besides, it was a controlled substance and monitored by the International Nuclear Agency. The whole affair was an obvious set-up, which could have been exposed if our media was doing its job; which it obviously wasn't.
