Letters to the Editor

"Saddam chose to deny inspectors" Bush repeated this bald-faced lie recently. The cowering press still lets him get away with it, but the public is no longer fooled. By Joe Conason [2006-03-31]

• here is the text of a letter I sent to the local paper editor six days ago about Bush lies

  It has been strange watching Bush flail around this spring as his ratings plummet, he seems so small. People are turning sour on him and his Operation Iraqi Quagmire. Just wait till the taxpayer is presented with the bill: estimates run to at least a trillion dollars. I'm sure that the tax hike to pay that off will be very popular. And don't fool yourself, it's coming folks. We can't keep borrowing forever. So many lives have been ruined that people want to know why this happened. Tuesday Bush was asked point blank: why did you invade Baghdad? His final answer was that Saddam kicked out the inspectors: wrong! This seems to be a myth that has taken root in Bush's mind, but really in the months before invasion there were 2000 inspectors in Iraq. We need true leaders in this country and Bush has got to start telling the truth.
