According to the Washington Post, George Walker Bush, the appointed 43rd President of the United States, said the following on Monday, while speaking with reporters about the decision to go to war in Iraq : "We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."Thing is, um, that's not what happened, George. The inspectors were already there, they were already doing their job. You simply got impatient and would not give them more time. Don't you remember that? It was kind of a big deal at the time. Those are facts. Is it more frightening that Bush is out-and-out lying about known history, or is it scarier to think that he's just that stupid... that he doesn't know from one moment to the next what's going to fly out of his mouth? Or maybe it's more frightening that there's not enough outrage about this. Joe Conason gets it, though. From his journal on Salon.com : "What possessed the president to make an assertion that everyone on the planet knows to be untrue? And who is going to take the responsibility for this one?"Howard Dean's Blog for America calls attention to the lie as well... but the question is, is anybody listening? We can only hope that this is another pointed nail in this administration's cash-lined and oil-shined coffin.  |
