Thanks to Internet, Lies of Powerful are Quickly Exposed

[DianaForRussFeingold]

"The first week of August 2006 provided a case study in the indispensability of the Internet. I specifically refer to two issues: statements by embattled Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman that he had challenged the Bush Administration on the conduct of the Iraq war, and testimony by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that he has “never painted a rosy picture" about Iraq. Rumsfeld insisted that he has been "very measured" and that "you would have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I have been overly optimistic."

1. They forgot Rumsfeld's famous "A Few Dead Enders"

Which was how he referred to the insurgency when it began. A handful of dead enders, a few Saddam loyalists, they could be cleaned up quickly.

He purposefully lies that over 80% of Iraqis in a recent poll want US troops out NOW, but the 'elected leaders' of Iraq have to keep US troops there and HAVE to live in the Green Zone or they would be killed, because they don't have popular support. They are puppets of the US.

2. Love it!

Thanks for posting! I love this stuff to no end! I'd love to see someone make a movie or video or something with all the lies strung together. Powerful stuff when you catch them in their own lies. Mighty powerful.
