This is something I've been waiting to see since that man was elected. What a shame the Red States are blind or they would see how this liar has lied even to them.

This will be a great historical document, if anyone is left around to compile any history after these neocon knuckleheads are done with us.

One by one, the stones of the Bush Admin are coming down. Truth overcomes insanity, greed, power lust, hate, and stupidity. The would-be-King is dead......long live America!

Now we have proof!! Every word that butcher Bush utters is a lie. Ditto Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld. This entire administration is built on lies. Yet people still defend this group of greedy thugs. Can wse wait another two years to send them packing?

I guess the quiet so far on this post(from the cons) is all the cons reading every scrap of it and tryin to find just one tiny thing to say is a falsehood, a fabrication.
HMMM, it will be intersting to see what they come up with.

Richard L. Armitage was the one who inadvertently leaked the name of Valorie Plame and he does not have to worry because she was not undercover and no law was broken. Now who lied. The people who indicted and convicted Carl Rove for it. did Bush lie, no. There were 500 incidents of Chemical WMD found in Iraq. Did Bush lie about WMD in Iraq, NO. The people pushing their progressive Seclurist agenda have twisted and lied and turned it all around and you people with small minds beleive it.

Libscape has another hate Bush article. This is just like reading the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe and etc. It is this type of one sided reporting that disgusts so many Americans. You Liberals just believe whatever you want.

At least now we know where Dan Rather went, he is working for Mother Jones.

As a Die Hard Bush fan and committed republican I have defended this president of ours on these blogs numerous times...I have pleaded the case of the republican party and supported many of the decisions this administration has made...HOWEVER, I can officially say that I am no longer a fan of George Bush. I still support the president however I do believe that he has lied about some things as a result of a level of arrogance. The turning point for me came today...when i saw some pictures of a little child digging a teddy bear from the rubble of a bomb site in Iraq. A great tragedy for our country and also for the world. I support the troops but this war is unjust and plain wrong. Do not campaign for a Republican candidate George W. You have done enough.

It is too bad you feel the way you do. We are just in the early stage of WW3 and if people like you don't see the continued need to confront governments that support terrorism then we as a nation are going to lose.
I obviously still support Bush and believe he is right about Iraq. The next real test is Iran and I suppose you don't feel we should do anything there either.

Ed,
Now at least you`re being consistent.
Like a good neocon, just attack the messenger and ignore/deny the message. Straight out of the Hannity/O`Reilly handbook.

farmerman...my apologies but you know nothing about my stance on the war on terrorism. I have made your same argument in these blogs on a large number of occasions. My statement basically just said that George Bush has lied in the past and it has gotten us in deeper than we care to be. If he would have said " We are going to oust Saddam from his position as a pre-emptive campaign against terrorism." and left it at that...people would support that. But to lie in a bold faced manner is not only disrespectful to this country but puts the ball in the hands of the democrats.
Iran admits it pursues nuclear technology and Israel can police that sugject. If the time comes for us to get involved then so be it.

What is the lie you are accusing him of? That there were WMD's in Iraq? If he lied then so did much of the Senior leadership of the Democratic Party, including President Clinton, Kerry, old lady Clinton, Reid, Kennedy and countries like Russia, Germany, UK and etc.

WMD's a lie? So you don't consider the mustard gas that was found a WMD?

We try to work through the UN and implement sanctions. However, I don't believe either will work. So we have to decide as a country, whether we are willing to be faced with a nuclear Iran. I for one, am not. We have to try to get a change of government through internal change first. But if that doesn't work then we bomb. When they try to rebuild we bomb again.

So far the UN countries seem to agree. Why don't you think it will work? By the way, I agree with you that Iran should NOT have 'Nukes."

Russia and China probably won't go along with any meaningful sanctions. In addition, the Mullahs will subject their people to about anything to get the bomb.

That is the kind of weapons Bush was talking about. The mustard gas, sarin were part of the WMD list.

luvmyprez, netscape is not nauseating, it's the liberals on here who post these stupid articles and believe them without any proof to back them up. You can't believe anything liberal blogs or papers write. And notice I didn't call any liberal names, which they say all conseratives do.

My curiosity is getting the best of me.
Am I wrong to think here that everyone believes Sadaam not to have his hands in some type of terrorism? Does everyone here think that we should have left Sadaam alone and hoped he would never attack us somewhere?
I know that Bush has made mistakes, don't get me wrong. I don't agree with everything he has done or at least the way he has done it. But are we really supposed to sit here and make pretend that Sadaam, if given a chance, wouldn't have done something horrific to the US?

Given:
There are many other threats that were greater at the time of the Iraq invasion.
Sadaam did state in the 90's that he wanted to proliferate WMD's and he had hidden his scientists to do just that. Does everyone here really think Sadaam didn't have WMD's somewhere? All that money from the oil, power was what he wanted. To attain WMD's would have given him even more. Don't think like the sane people here, gotta think like a crazy to understand what goes on the the mind of a power hungry leader.
Just to beat ya to it.. I know everyone here is gonna say, "Yeah Bush!"

you just love to bleive any of it's true, of course you do beleive that it is all true.
Still it is ok with you that Sadaam had decaired war on America and we finnally have a Pres that called his bluff locked him up and now HIS OWN FREEDED PEOPLE are going to kill him.
Oh yea you stand behind dictatorship and wish you could kill the people who speek against you with the law behind you.

bishop79, I am sorry to hear about your doubts. However, how many pictures have you seen of firefighters being removed covered by an American Flag from the rubble of the WTC? Did you hear any actual footage of the next day? In the background all you could hear was PASS devices under the rubble, that meant you could hear the firefighters but could not reach them because they were buried. Similar to an old lady reaching down for a teddy bear, only our case was a result of being blindsided. Another case in point, how many lost their lives at Pearl Harbor (in one day), we eventually clamied victory in that war as well.
