Study: Bush, officials made 935 false statements about Iraq


news.yahoo.com
The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

Only 935? That's the real news!

Applying lessons learned, I wonder what the count is so far on Iran?

You'll also note that they've become a bit less obvious about it, as when W said he didn't believe his own govt's NIE stating Iran had no active nuclear program. Essentially, he'd rather call his intelligence agencies liars than dropping another whopper. Well, sort of progress, somehow...


PS TheoOne: It's hard work being the Decider.

All sarcasm aside, the presidency is well known to prematurely age its occupants. Compare photos of Lincoln at the outset of his term and just before his assassination. The Civil War ravaged him as much as the country.

The drive-by MSM is forever tireless in pursuit of nothing.

Maybe the MSM should ask the following questions:

Who is Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani ?

Where did he travel to?

Whom did he meet with in the Czech Republic and Why?

They've asked those questions plenty of times and the results are just more of the same. The only people claiming he met with Atta were the Bush Administration, in direct contradiction of all the evidence and opinions of our own intelligence agencies.

Source
September 23, 2002: Newsweek reports that the CIA is resisting Pentagon demands to obtain pictures of the alleged meeting from Iraqi exiles. One official says, “We do not shy away from evidence. But we also don’t make it up.” [Newsweek, 9/23/2002]

October 10, 2002: British officials deny the meeting ever took place (see October 4-10, 2002). [Financial Times, 10/4/2002; Guardian, 10/10/2002]

October 20, 2002: Czech officials, including President Vaclav Havel, emphatically deny that the meeting ever took place. It now appears Atta was not even in the Czech Republic during the month the meeting was supposed to have taken place. President Havel told Bush “quietly some time earlier this year” that the meeting did not happen (see Early 2002, probably May or later). [United Press International, 10/20/2002; New York Times, 10/21/2002]

If you believe ANYTHING that the scumbag liar Cheney says, or any other minion like Tenet, who lied and got the medal for his lies, you are3 less than informed. You are quoting the foxes saying that they really did have an alibi for the henhouse raid even though they were seen there!!

Quoting Cheney and Tenet is like quoting Hitler: They say what it takes to keep their interests safe, and to hell with the truth and the rule of law.

try again..next time quote a source that has some credibilit: Cheney the scumbag traitor and Tenet the scumbag spy and not worth belief...ever.

I'll be honest. I stopped reading right here. At this time of night, I just can't bring myself to muster up the effort to entertain someone who opens their post with a line lifted from Rush Limbaugh.

Right now, I choose to fight ignorance with ignorance!
