"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]

    Of course we knew Hussein had wmd at one time. we had the receipts. but after the first Gulf/Exxon/Mobil/Texaco War, he had nothing, and the no-fly zone and sophisticated surveillance made it impossible for a camel to crap in the desert without us knowing what the ungulate had for dinner. This whole war was trumped up, from jumpstreet. Every death, American and Iraqui, is a needless one, and the blood is on Commander Codpiece's callous-free pampered candyassed hands.

  • Inspectors denied?

    Joe Conason

    does a good job of reminding us that bush lies as easily as angels float.

    He goes on to point out how the press time and again ignores the lies and has the gall to wonder why. Clearly he fears upsetting the owners of the press as much as reporters in any other mainstream venue.

    I know it's a risk but isn't anyone (in any "press") going to tell the public that they will hear the truth when there is a profit in it and not before.

    Docile press, docile public. right controlling shares?

  • Deny Inspection?

    Even if I was a 'Connecticut Yankee", I wouldn't claim that I was a TEXAN.

    Gram told me in my youth, "You can watch a Thief, but you can't watch a Liar" little did Gram know that you can watch one who is the same on both aspects of that Revulsion Party of Newt and Tom where"We The People", will just say "He is the President and We are at WAR and we must be Patriotic".

    SO

    Dear Gram,

    How could you be so wrong with both of your sons having protected this Nation against the Germans and the Japanese.

    This is the "New American Centuty" and those sentiments mean as much to this Administration as the United Nations or that sticky Geneva Convention.

    Is all fair in love and war

    or

    is murder not murder, even if you insult my daddy?

  • IT'S THE OIL STUPID

    I KNEW IN 2000, EVEN BEFORE THE SELECTION OF THE 43RD PRESIDENT THAT THE FIRST THING BUSH WOULD DO WOULD BE TO GO TO WAR IN IRAQ.

    I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I WAS EMAILING GOV BUSH ON A REGULAR BASIS (JUST TO VENT)RE: HIS BROTHER AND THE WAR.

    I TOLD GOV BUSH THAT I WOULD CUT OFF MY SON'S TRIGGER FINGER BEFORE I WOULD LET HIM FIGHT AN "OIL WAR" FOR HIS "WAR WHORE BROTHER AND HALLIBURTON'S DICK CHENEY".

    I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE DOESN'T GET IT....IT'S THE OIL STUPID.
