Leveller you said earlier that we had no proof that Bush has lied and that is what we have to have, but is that not what he's searching for? Proof. He's trying to prove that his intitial excuse for this unjust war was the WMDs and that all the lives lost were for a just cause. He still hasn't proved it to me, and the only reason we haven't proved he's lied is because he hasn't been under oath yet.

You actually think that the media is a seperate entity or independant of the "Administration"?
ONE

Yes. It is a totally separate entity driven by one force and one force alone - MONEY.
The truth doesn't matter to the media as long as they get the cash in their pockets.
Media has bought down governements many times. It also spends a lot fo time opposinmg governments if it helps to sell more airtime or newspapers.
There is no loyalty to anything other than the dollar sign.

Missing Weapons Of Mass Destruction:
Is Lying About The Reason For War An Impeachable Offense?
By JOHN W. DEAN
Friday, Jun. 06, 2003
For one, it is not clear that WMD's will NOT be found in Iraq, a country the size of California. Also, the info was apart of our intelligence agencies purveiw. The Whitehouse is only responsible for interpreting the info, not deciding wheter it is truthful of not! Geo Bush is not to blame here and any attempt to slam him on this war will backfire in'04.
President George W. Bush has got a very serious problem. Before asking Congress for a Joint Resolution authorizing the use of American military forces in Iraq, he made a number of unequivocal statements about the reason the United States needed to pursue the most radical actions any nation can undertake - acts of war against another nation.
Now it is clear that many of his statements appear to be false. In the past, Bush's White House has been very good at sweeping ugly issues like this under the carpet, and out of sight. But it is not clear that they will be able to make the question of what happened to Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) go away - unless, perhaps, they start another war.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, of course it is! Our own very government. The government that is asking us to bask ourselves in the red, white, and blue lied to us! If we can't trust our government in matters like this when can we trust them. The American People blindly ok'd Bush to invade Iraq and murder hundreds, even our own soldiers!
Bush needs to get kicked out of office. We need a regime change here in USA.
