The Cassandra Page looks at the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Nairobi and Tanzania and concludes that their memory is being tossed down the memory hole by the mainstream media:
These bombings predated 9-11 by three years. At that time, there was still time to prevent 9-11. These and other bombings gave us all of the justification we needed to confront the terrorist threat head on. Clinton’s response was to bomb an aspirin factory in Sudan. The Taliban remained in place in Afghanistan and Osama was free to use Afghanistan as a training base for another three years.
But the MSM/DNC, otherwise known as the Clinton Legacy Rehabilitation Project, has chosen to ignore this anniversary. Think of what you saw on the morning news programs today. Were most of the features even in the same ballpark as this item in terms of importance?
The slightest emphasis on today’s anniversary would destroy the MSM/DNC meme, which blames George Bush for all terrorism. Even the slightest mention of this story would remind Americans that terrorism began BEFORE the U.S. led invasion of Iraq.
For the benefit of the left and the MSM/DNC, here is a chronology:
(1) Global terrorism occurred many times over the past thirty or more years.
(2) We began to fight back, including the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
(3) The MSM/DNC began a relentless campaign to reverse the order of ## 1 and 2 in the minds of the public. That is a very difficult task. Judging from the last election, this strategy has worked with only 47% of the voters.
That task requires the MSM/DNC to bury many facts down the memory hole. The victims in Nairobi and Tanzania are mere inconveniences to be forgotten in the MSM/DNC’s mad rush to play politics and rewrite history.
One minor quibble–it’s not all that mad of a rush: the memory hole has been lit for well over a year, if not longer. In fact, arguably since the liberation of Iraq in 2003.
