June 23rd, 2005 at 12:14 pmIf these guys will lie about something as substantive about GOING TO A WAR, then what’s to stop them from lying about telling lies?
June 23rd, 2005 at 12:17 pm… and here I thought speaking the truth was some kind of super serious really important thing for Christians … I haven’t seen such a large band of corrupt liars since Nixon, Ray-gun and BushI …
June 23rd, 2005 at 12:53 pmThe news programs will be all over this one! Oh, wait, I forgot…
Back to watching the Daily Show.
June 23rd, 2005 at 1:13 pmand those were the exact areas that we secured and searched to make sure all the weapons and bombs were strictly under our control.
We did this for our safety and to use as evidence in the war’s success.
Right, Donald?
June 23rd, 2005 at 1:26 pmYeah, so? Those things were known before the election. We have to realize that many of our compatriots are rather ignorant. The majority of the Bus voters still believe that we’ve found WMD in Iraq and Sadam was responsible for 911….
I mean with a little effort, basic critical skills, and the interest to know–even if you don’t like the truth–anyone would have known that Rummie, Condi and her “husband” lied about Iraq. So, too many people don’t bother with the facts. And, I’m not talking about little obscure details, but about issues that have major implications.. like committing the nation to war!
On the other hand, we live in a world where: there are 2 sides to a coin! Those who believe our leaders lied and those who don’t!! Go figure (in a fair & balanced way)….
June 23rd, 2005 at 1:27 pmIt’s Getting Brutal Out There
Rumsfeld, Rove, The Supreme Court and more. Let’s get all the issues on the table and talk about them.
June 23rd, 2005 at 2:19 pm#7, what do you mean “It’s getting brutal out there”? It’s been brutal ever since the Republicans drafted their “Contract On America”. Their mouthpieces, Limbaugh, Hannity, Larson, and the entire rightwing Christian media circus/echo chamber, has been going for decades now.
It’s been brutal for far too long! If we don’t take back the country, they aren’t going to _give_ it back.
June 23rd, 2005 at 2:27 pmCheck out the look in Rummie’s face when Sen. Teddy K. asks “Isn’t it time for you to resign?”
Damn near PRICELESS!
June 23rd, 2005 at 2:57 pm#4…..It is a crazy world where the real news comes from the Daily Show hosted by a comedian on the Comedy Channel! Although there are some sincere journalists on the networks and cable stations, the main corporate impetus is for tabloid features and entertainment. In the meantime, we can all be thankful for Comedy Central’s world news headquarters in New York.
June 23rd, 2005 at 4:38 pmIn all fairness since it was Rumsfeld who sold the WMDs to Iraq in the first place under the Reagan adminstration - and who even personally gave the go ahead for Iraq to use WMDs in its war with separatists and Iranians, one could see how a delusional nut job like him would believe they still had the weapons.
Of course if had read any of the IAEA assessment reports or even talked to the field commanders who had been involved in inspection and destruction of Saddam’s arsenal he might have known better. But then when you’re a delusional prick like Rumsfeld is who’s just looking for an excuse to go grab some power, facts and details never are allowed in the way…
There’s a great story that was done by Newsweek and that’s archived at thruthout about how we helped create Saddam in the first place:
http://www.truthout.org/ docs_02/ 09.18A.neswk.us.iraq.htm
Here’s an archive from the Washington post story where they outline how Saddam was given the go ahead to use WMDs.
http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/122003B.shtml
And of course the revelation that Rumsfeld was the original architect of the whole iraqi weapons program.
http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/09.30A.byrd.wmd.htm
And while we’re on the present and future lies of rumsfeld, lets focus on Iran. It was Rumsfeld (isn’t it funny how his name always pops up anytime something smacking of illegal or poorly considered is discussed) who sold the Plutonium reactors needed to build a nuclear bomb to Iran!

Big fat lying idiots is I think a great description of this entire administration!
June 23rd, 2005 at 7:03 pmThis crazy world we live in. Democrates turn Republican, Republicans turn Democrates, The United States turns USSR and USSR tries to turn USA. If we make King George a Monarch we will be right back in 1775. See how quick you can lose your property rights. One more act from congress and you will lose your liberty rights.
June 23rd, 2005 at 10:10 pmFSTV(free speech tv) and Democracy Now (a news show) are also great news sources, besides the Daily Show. (If you have sat. or cable.)
