John McCain: Wrong to Attack Bush

Sen. John McCain said Sunday that Iraq war critics who insist on claiming that President Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction are themselves liars.

"I think it's a very legitimate aspect of American life to criticize and to disagree and to debate," McCain told CBS's "Face the Nation." "But I want to say I think it's a lie to say that the president lied to the American people."

The Arizona Republican recalled his role on the Robb-Silverman Commission, which investigated allegations that WMD intelligence had been manipulated.

"I saw many, many analysts that came before that committee," McCain said. "I asked every one of them: 'Were you ever pressured politically or any other way to change your analysis of the situation as you saw?'

Edit: Sorry for the crappy link. Its the only one I could find of McCain talking about this.

1. It's a lie to say it's a lie to say it's a lie, John.

Stick your sycophantic, partisan, authoritarianism where the sun don't shine, John.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

19. I saw this...

...it looked like he could barely choke those words out. I lose more respect for McCain every time he opens his mouth. Once again called to duty to rehabilitate the Chimp's image. All he's going to do is further damage is own credibility.

4. Hold me >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

17. John "Stockholm" McCain. eom

[cantstandbush]

5. But the issues is WHAT WAS DONE WITH THE INTEL .

Do you really expect anyone holding a job under this administration to honestly say they were pressured to come up with intel to support Bush's case for war? What about the intel prior to 9/11 that indicated that Saddam was unable to restart his WMD programs after Desert Storm and that Saddam had no way to deliver WMDs if he had them because he was being successfully contained by our constant no fly zones and bombardment?

[stepnw1f]

6. Yeah You Are Right, John

You are a liar too... feel better?

[NanceGreggs]

7. McCain, better than ANYONE ...

... knows what the Bushevites did to him, and his family, during the primaries in 2000.

And knowing that, he stood up in front of the nation in 2004 and encouraged his fellow countrymen to VOTE this corrupt regime back into office.

I realize that McCain still has his political ambitions. But shilling for people who he KNEW TO BE CORRUPT wasn't the way to realize those ambitions.

There was a time I respected this man. Now he's just another JUDAS GOAT, leading the sheeple to the slaughterhouse.

P.S. To Mr. McCain - Who was LYING when they called southern voters and told them that you had fathered an illegitimate, black child? Was that the DEMOCRATS, too? You know better -- and you should be ashamed.

8. Who the fuck does mccain think

he is? I know..he's a Liar who's calling not just Dems liars for calling bush a LIAR, but certain republicans are calling bush a LIAR, TOO!

So, by my calculations..that makes mccain just as BIG A LIAR as bush since he was lying right on along with this big PUSH FOR THE WAR ON IRAQ. Now, mccain is trying to cover his own butt as well..it's NOT WORKING!

he's part of the problem, and he's got a big surprise waiting for him in '08.

foul language below:

with my hand over my heart while the other holds a Bible to the sky I say, fuck you , mr. mccain.

[nini]

18. Does that apply to the lies they told about his own family?

I cannot believe how this man has whored himself with these guys.. disgusting

[bpilgrim]

20. I am calling him out on the infamous 16 words of the 03 SOTU

any fair minded person who looked at the known and unknown intel at the time KNEW IRAQ was NOT a THREAT and also KNEW about the PNAC agenda.

they LIED to us.

peace

22. Oh but you're a liar too, John. So much for your opinion. n/t

23. 'Were you ever pressured politically'

"I saw many, many analysts that came before that committee," McCain said. "I asked every one of them: 'Were you ever pressured politically or any other way to change your analysis of the situation as you saw?'
----

McCain is smarter than this. The issue isn't whether individual analysts were pressured to change their information. The issue is why Bush chose to cite the opinions only of those analysts who said what Bush wanted them to say, rather than giving a critical analysis of the best information available.

I can find analysts to argue that the Earth is flat and is 6000 years old, but if I cite only those analysts I don't give a very accurate picture of the world. If I know that the best evidence disagrees with this information, then I'm lying by citing only the others.

[DanCa]

24. Than was bush lying when he insulted your family? (nt)

[ismnotwasm]

25. Um. Ok

bush is an out of control psychopathic liar without any control or remorse over his lies and makes decisions only of out his insane sense of entitlement. The only reflection he does on his possible actions is making sure any action damages as many human being as possible. Better?
And McCain, you're right up his ass. Sad, McCain, very, very sad.

[mwooldri]

26. So where does the buck stop?

If we don't call Bush a liar, well that's OK. However, he has given us incorrect information and reasons to go to war. To use the BBC's own words, the reason for us going to war was "sexed up".

So here's the $64,000 question: if Bush didn't lie, who the heck did? I'm almost tempted to support the death penalty for that person but since I don't support it I'd have to settle for true life in prison.

27. Kiss my ass McCain

You sicken me! You and the rest of this corrupt administration are the biggest pack of liars this country has ever seen! You're not just a liar, you're also a whore!

[Lefty48197]

28. John, you're lying when you say that the liar didn't lie.

We both know he's a liar, John. If you can't admit it, then you're no better yourself.

[Mr_Spock]

29. McCain - you know where you can go don't you??

I thought so... :D

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

30. But that sweaty hug was right on the money!

37%, you Dumbshit.

[Bouncy Ball]

31. Well, that nails it.

He's not running in 2008 or he wouldn't be saying this shit.

They've paid Johnny off.

[tlsmith1963]

32. I Respectfully Disagree, Mr. McCain

Usually I have respect for McCain, but I have to disagree with him here.
Bush lied. I'm sorry, but he did. He cared more about Hussein than
about bin Laden, & he wanted an excuse to invade Iraq. I was actually
in support of Bush after 9/11, even though I didn't vote for the guy. When he decided to invade Iraq I was outraged. I wanted bin Laden's head on a platter, not Hussein's. I think the leader of North Korea
is worse than Hussein, anyway. Bush was willing to lie if it would get him what he wanted. I wish McCain wouldn't go along with the desperation moves of Bush. Get off the "neocon ship" while you can,
McCain!

33. I think McCain is right. Dubya shouldn't be called a liar.

He should be called a FUCKING liar!
