Bush lies about his lies.
George W. Bush, continues to defend his decision to go to war by telling lies. The President and his army of televised spinners, are now attempting to rewrite history by repeating the same untrue arguments over and over. While this tactic has worked for the Republican party for quite some time, even their own supporters now realize this Administration cannot be trusted. So, next time you hear a Red repeat the talking points they have learned from talk radio or FOX, tell them the truth. Because even the most loyal supporters of the Republican party, perhaps feeling guilty for what has happened, are beginning to see the light.
THE BUSH LIES
Argument 1. Congress, who voted for the war resolution, had the same information as he did.
Truth. Bush and his aides had access to much more voluminous intelligence information than did lawmakers, who were dependent on the administration to provide the material.
Argument 2. Independent commissions determined that the administration did not misrepresent the intelligence.
Truth. The commissions cited by officials, though concluding that the administration did not pressure intelligence analysts to change their conclusions, were not authorized to determine whether the administration exaggerated or distorted those conclusions. The only committee investigating the matter in Congress, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has not yet done its inquiry into whether officials mischaracterized intelligence by omitting caveats and dissenting opinions.
