Bush is lying again! "We did not choose to go to war, Saddam did."

[cantstandbush]

WTF Evidently Saddam did comply with the demands of the international community since no WMDs were found and it was the US that ordered the inspectors out of Iraq so that the bombing could begin.
HTF does the media and the Dems keep allowing Bush to get away with these outright lies?

[catmother]

1. i saw that. he just twists everything to fit his agenda. n/t

[Christa]

2. It almost seems as if his speechwriters

WANTS him to look like a fool.

[hwmnbn]

7. I think it's more that his speechwriters....

EXPECT us to be fools. :mad:

[liberal N proud]

3. Was it not the United States troops who invaded Baghdad?

When you are on drugs the world looks different.

[flakey_foont]

4. Of course he's lying

his lips are moving

[dutchdemocrat]

5. Contradicts this...

[Kadie]

6. "I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq," Bush said

"I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq," Bush said, even though much of the intelligence "turned out to be wrong."


So he is saying both things today?

[ninkasi]

23. Yeah, but he says it with a smirk

It's like he gets up there and lies, and smirks because he knows he's lying, and that nobody is going to call him on it, and he can get away with it. I hate that smirk.

[ashling]

8. We just cose to invade

since he did not arrange for Iraqis to meet us with flowers, it was he who chose to go to war :sarcasm:

[TahitiNut]

9. It's really appalling. The bald-faced lies spew forth without cessation.

Over and over and over he repeats the same outright lies. "Saddam didn't comply." "Saddam ejected the inspectors." "Everything changed on 9/11." "We're at 'war' in Iraq." (It's an illegal occupation, not a 'war.')

[harlinchi]

10. Why doesn't someone ask Bush, when he mentions WMD's, where...

...Iraq got the WMD's used against Iran and against his fellow Iraqis? If he was wrong to use them wouldn't his suppliers have been wrong as well? If a junkie is caught with drugs and is willing to tell the police from where the drugs came, aren't the police obligated to pursue the supplier as well?

Certain topics mentioned by Bush should require a throat-clearing 'ahem' from whomever he is speaking to, followed by the actual truth. Whenever he mentions the budget, a statement informing readers that the costs of operating in Iraq were not included. Whenever Social Security is mentioned, that 'ahem' needs to be followed by a statement telling folks that Social Security funds are still being incorporated into the larger budget, to reduce the larger-than-reported deficit. Whenever the Iraqi use of chemical or biological weapons is discussed, it needs to be said that we sold them to him and congratulated him on their initial use, so to speak.

The list of corrective 'ahems' is large.


I posted this in a different thread but it applies here.

11. He has definitely learned 4 or 5 sound bites that he repeats over & over

He has made slight revisions in his act. The "saddamist" word is now part of the daily hit parade.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. yes. he used to call them Bathists...

I noticed the word change during Monday's speech

[Rocknrule]

12. Bullshit!

As bad as Saddam was, he wasn't the one who was practically begging for a war.

[mattclearing]

13. No one considers the minor detail that Saddam complied in 2002.

Rumor has it he even offered to step down through an intermediary diplomatic channel. He seemed to want to avoid the invasion, but clearly, we weren't taking no for an answer.

[rustydog]

14. Saddam offered his exile to stop the war and Bush refused

You lying sack of shit, you lying sack of shit.
100,000 innocent people died you lying sack of shit.
We are nearing 3000 dead Americans you lying sack of shit.
maybe 50,000 severely wounded, physically and mentally you lying sack of shit.

Step down you crook.

[Benhurst]

15. ...

:thumbsup:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. Oh my Rustydog....

soooo on point.

I think I love you! :loveya:

[havocmom]

20. Didn't Saddam also offer a man on man fight with bush the brave?

What channel was that on? I missed it ;) How'd el shrubito do?

[MallRat]

18. Saddam repeatedly slammed his country into our bombs.

:eyes:

[Canuckistanian]

19. He has to give Faux news SOMETHING

You think they're going to lead with a story like "I'm responsible even though the intelligence was faulty"?

No, Faux is going to go with this story.

[bumblebee1]

21. What did Saddam do?

Draw a line in the sand and then say, "Yo, Bush, I dare you to cross this line!!"

[stop the bleeding]

22. too much booger sugar fried his brain - he really can't say anything

else no matter how hard he tries.

24. The mantra of the abusive "You MADE me do it." n/t
