Bush tonight:
Reconstruction efforts and the training of Iraqi Security Forces started more slowly than we hoped. … At this time last year, there were only a handful of Iraqi army and police battalions ready for combat.
Rumsfeld, 12/8/04
Their security forces, as I mentioned earlier, are – oh, they’re now up to something like 110[000], 120,000 — up from zero. And they are putting their lives at risk as well…they’re being trained rapidly…
This is an outrage. Now you don’t have to listen to moonbats to hear that Rumsfeld lied. Bush said it himself!

The Iraq war is about oil, Bubble boy will not allow stability, its not good for his bank account.
Impeach Bubble boy Bushie if you want the troops to come home.
December 18th, 2005 at 9:36 pmHmmmmm….lets, see, he’s admitting he got everything wrong going in, and now he’s asking me to believe him about everything on getting out……hmmmmmm…..what to do……
December 18th, 2005 at 10:18 pmAt the sentencing phase of his criminal trial, lets use the following standard for his sentencing. One day for every lie told the American people. OK, it’s probably a 2 life sentnces, but I think we should hold a pResident to a higher standard.
December 19th, 2005 at 6:07 pmIt seems that Mr. Bush was less than forthright as well when he said in his Radio Address of Sept.25 04,
December 21st, 2005 at 5:20 am“Nearly 100,000 fully trained and equipped Iraqi soldiers, police officers, and other security personnel are working today, and the Iraqi government is on track to build a force of over 200,000 security personnel by the end of 2005.”
