President George W. Bush lied about Iraq. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Saddam was not stockpiling uranium. There was no al-Qaida-Iraq link. A non-profit media watchdog group went through and systematically counted how many false statements the Bush administration made before the invasion.
What else is new? It’s been proven that people knew that before the war started, but the Bush administration plugged its ears, sang “la la la la!” and dragged our sorry American behinds over there anyway to make a stink.
Now we know precisely how many times Bush and his comrades actually made false statements. It’s interesting that a lot of major newspapers called them 935 “falsehoods”. Falsehood? What is this, Masterpiece Theatre? Maybe the word “lies” stings too much and belongs on the front page of the Star or inTouch Weekly.
When it comes down to it, you say “potayto” and I saw “potahto”, but Bush told lies. Or falsehoods.
