Bush Rewrites History on Zarqawi Statements

During today’s press conference, ABC News reporter Martha Raddatz asked Bush why he continues to say Saddam “had relations with Zarqawi,” despite the Senate Intelligence Report findings that Hussein “did not have a relationship with, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi.” Bush replied: “I never said there was an operational relationship.” Watch it:

[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2006/09/Bush_9_15_06.320.240.flv]

In fact, Bush has repeatedly asserted that Saddam “harbored” and “provided safe-haven” to Zarqawi:

BUSH: [Saddam] was a threat because he provided safe-haven for a terrorist like Zarqawi… [6/17/04]

BUSH: [Saddam] is a man who harbored terrorists – Abu Abbas, Abu Nidal, Zarqawi. [9/23/04]

BUSH: [Zarqawi's] a man who was wounded in Afghanistan, received aid in Baghdad, ordered the killing of a U.S. citizen, USAID employee, was harbored in Iraq. [3/6/03]

Transcript:

MARTHA: Mr. President, you have said throughout the war in Iraq and building up to the war in Iraq that there was a relationship between Saddam Hussein and Zarqawi and al Qaeda. A Senate Intelligence Committee report a few weeks ago said there was no link, no relationship, and that the CIA knew this and issued a report last fall. And yet a month ago, you were still saying there was a relationship. Why did you keep saying that? Why do you continue to say that? And do you still believe that?

BUSH: The point I was making to Ken Herman’s question was that Saddam Hussein was a state sponsor of terror, and that Mr. Zarqawi was in Iraq. He had been wounded in Afghanistan, had come to Iraq for treatment. He had ordered the killing of a U.S. citizen in Jordan. I never said there was an operational relationship.

    what a fricken lie. and why do these folks keep denying the truth when in fact it can be proven. ummmmm, sociopaths?


  2. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Yay…more fodder for Jon Stewart.

    Somewhere along the line, the presidential shenanigans have lost their appeal…I think it was around January 20th, 2000.

    Someone needs to go in armed with a soundboard of all the president’s statements, and just play them back to him when he attempts to deny them.

    When is enough enough? When do we get our country back?


  3. G.W.SuperChrist says:

    Why doesn’t someone point out that Saddam was trying to have Zarqawi arrested… BUSH KNEW THIS… and still he perpetuated the lie that Saddam was providing safe-haven for Zarqawi?


  4. gmnotyet says:

    *!@$#^ liar that Bush.


  5. gonzoknife says:

    He’s not lying. See, he never used the exact phrase “operational relationsihp” so everything is hunky dory (*wink*). He also never said Saddam and Zarqawi were “BFF”, “totally ccol with each other”, or that they were “homies” so he’s totally off the hook and it is everyone else’s fault for believing otherwise.

    Now, someone needs to ask him if he said “he provided safe-haven for a terrorist like Zarqawi”…….


  6. trueblue says:

    TripMaster Monkey,

    I’ve been wondering the same thing.
    The journalists know the question they’re going to ask; for crissake have a tape or at the very least a transcript available!

    Why do they let this Admin. get away with blatantly lying to the American Public?


  7. theswan says:

    Do you mean he has been lying to us all along?
    Could someone clarify his statement(s)?


  8. margaret says:

    Methinks that it’s getting harder and harder to talk their way out of their lies.

    I learned that lesson when I was a kid. Tell and lie and you almost inevitably had to tell a bunch more lies to cover the first lie.


  9. hellinabucket says:

    I don’t believe the question was if there was an “operational relationship”. This is amazing. They push the fear then juggle the words when that falsehood is exposed and go merrily along like the gengerbread man. “I didn’t say that” is not a free pass. Game over.


  10. Toonguy says:

    Look, you can’t have it both ways – when you say something, and it’s on record, you can’t just magically “un-say” it. How many times can the president claim to have it both ways and the so-called “reporters” let him get away with it?


  11. Tyler says:

    I was looking for the quote from Clear and Present Danger when Harrison Ford confronted the President when he tried to pass the buck and say he didn’t know what had happened. Can’t find it. Something like “I won’t let you tarnish their memories by saying you had no idea what happened!”

    But this one is almost better. For shame Mr Bush.

    “(1) You are such a boy scout. You see everything in black and white. (2) No, no, no Mr Bush {Ritter}. Not black and white. Right and wrong.”


  12. Seitz says:

    But..but…but…he wasn’t lying. He said that Saddam provided safe haven to terrorists “like” Zarqawi. In the second statement, he said that Saddam harbored terrorists, then just rattled off a few names which had nothing to do with the original statement. See, you folks need to work harder at splitting hairs.


  13. leonard says:

    We just heard the President of the United States refuse to obey the law and directly attack The Supreme Court of the United States, when he said “This debate is occurring because of the Supreme Court’s ruling that said that we must conduct ourselves under the Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention.”

    We just heard the President of the United States ask what outrages upon human dignity meant, when he asked “And that Common Article 3 says that, you know, There will be no outrages upon human dignity. It’s like — it’s very vague. What does that mean, outrages upon human dignity?”

    Any more questions?


  14. Quadrajet says:

    “I never said there was an operational relationship….”

    ….and no one asked you if there was an ‘operational relationship’ Georgie.


  15. Count+Iblis says:

    Bush also never said that Saddam was trying to obtain nuclear weapons. He was talking about “nukular weapons” :)


  16. G.W.SuperChrist says:

    Can someone please ask him if being in the same country constitutes a relationship… if so maybe we need to investigate Bush’s relationship with the 911 hijackers!


  17. Erroll says:

    What Bush says and does is reminiscent of how the writer Mary McCarthy described th playwright Lillian Hellman: “Every word that comes out of her mouth is a lie, including the words ‘the” and “and.”


  18. sunshine says:

    All I can say is thank god for miracle of technology. Not only do we see the actual clips of the lies and misstatements, we have transcripts to verify them as well. Does he really believe that he is pulling one over on the people of this country? Not anytime soon and with technology. We can see the actual clip and see him for the liar that he is.


  19. Pam in SC says:

    I wonder what the Bush adim. has already done, he wants the law changed in quite a hurry. The 14 sent to Gitmo may have already been subjected to some of it. And why is the CIA hiring lawywers left and right?.


  20. goose1 says:

    Democratic President lies- Impeach
    Republican President Lies-IOKIYAR


  21. NoMoreBush says:

    They are puking on their own lies. If it were not so serious, it would almost be entertaining.


  22. Solitaire says:

    Bush lies even when he doesn’t have to. It’s good practice.


  23. Jay Randal says:

    Bush rewrites history on everything regarding Iraq, so I am NOT surprised Dubya Dunce Decider Despot tries to change his prior statements on Zarqawi, who by the way was a CIA stooge creation!


  24. calguy says:

    BUSH HAS JUMPED THE SHARK! IT IS ALL COMING UNDONE NOW!


  25. Briseadh na Faire says:

    By the same logic, Bush had a relationship with the terrorists who struck on 9/11. After all, they were living in the United States, ergo Bush provided terrorists like the 9/11 hijackers a safe-haven; Bush harbored terrorists. Now, there might not have been an operational relationship….


  26. pgl says:

    You see – “harbor” is not spelled the same was as “operational” so God told Bush that this lie was OK.


  27. Zooey says:

    My thoughts exactly, calguy.

    Could it be that GWB has finally hit the slippery slope?

    AND can we please not back off the guy?


  28. yowzer says:

    i hope the bushliar-criminal is in a public setting when his head explodes so we get to see what shit-for-brains looks like.
    .


  29. pluege says:

    putting bush out in public is an incrediably risky proposition. unka karl is clearly desparate.
    .


  30. crickett says:

    I’d love to see an ad run continuously by the Democrats that simply shows Bush’s denial and then clips of him saying there was a connection (maybe with some Rice and Cheney clips thrown in for good measure).

    The screen could then say: “Had enough? Vote Democrat.”


  31. hellinabucket says:

    One possible reason for the President to hold onto this idea of ties between Iraq and Al Qiada is that there is no declaration of war only the AUMF.

    SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

    (a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

    No connection means no authority to attack Iraq. Why isn’t this being pushed.


  32. SouthPaw says:

    #11-Tyler:

    I was just (in the bar at lunch) seeing the replays on CNN of the conference, thinking of Batman….”this town (country) needs an enema!!”

    Funny (disgusting) how we can pull crap out of Hollywood to compare this mess to. Fitting, no doubt.


  33. nanlichi says:

    Riddle me this….

    Bush is exposed as a liar, admits to torture and secret prisons, admits to breaking the law, admits that Iraq had “nothing” to do with 9/11…… and his poll numbers go up because of the Repuglicans coming back to his side.

    WTF? Are Repuglicans really that frigging stupid?

  36. WaltTheMan says:

    I think that it is ironic that the most significant early advances in magnetic recording technology occurred in Nazi Germany. My dad spent about six weeks in post-war Germany gathering up the technology for the feds. He had spoken German at home as a boy and was able to speak either native or English with the German engineers and physicists.

    That technology has come back to haunt the Fascists here.


  37. Steed Lankershim says:

    Per the Intelligence Committee Report:

    The Intelligence Community used the term safehave to describe both active assistance to and passive acquiescence of al-Qa’ida operations.

    The report finds that Saddam indeed provided a safehaven to Zarqawi and other terrorist networks.

    Another thinkparanoid thread debunked.


  38. Jay Randal says:

    Bush baby looks angry in the TP pic, so watch out he might order an attack on Iran tomorrow to screw us all over in revenge! Dubya is going insane, so he is very dangerous unstable kook now!

    You are right Roger_Roger, it’s not new news, it’s fact.

    Comment by Steed Lankershim —

    “Passive acquiescence?” You mean, Zarqawi was in the Kurdish safe zone?

    Another “debunking” that gets debunked! How it feel to be pantsed by your own strawman, Steed?

    You want us to stop talking about ONGOING distortion from BushCo, but you can harp all you want about Clinton after all this time. I don’t think so!

  47. KRank says:

    Goddamn, why can’t one member of the press, ONE TIME respond to one of Chimpy’s misdirections by saying clearly and loudly, “With all due respect, Mr. President, that WASN’T the question”?

    That seems to me like it would be one GIANT step forward to restoring the nation we once knew.

    Is this why we still have Bush and other criminals still in power?
    Damn!!!
    Each time I see this type of comment, I lose hope for my country little more.


  49. margaret says:

    When a lie from the lips of the “commander-in-chief” is exposed, and said lie was used as a basis (amongst other lies) to go to war with a country that was not a threat, then yes that is news.

  51. Bob Jones says:

    This is the rub… when they catch him trying
    to rewrite history, they need to hit him right
    then and there with the facts. Read back his
    quotes to him and let him respond to THAT.


  52. eternal springs says:

    Reporters need to start bringing portable AV units with the quotes in question cued-up and ready for playback. That way, next time one of these asshats denies he ever said it, they can play it right there. Gotcha maggot repuke!


  53. Yikes says:

    “Read back his quotes to him and let him respond to THAT.”

    That is all well and good BUT as we saw earlier in Bush’s response to Powell, Bush evades the question and produces strawman aurguments and baseless rhetoric AND I’m not sure anyone at a Bush question and answer period gets to do a follow up question. Rove has taught him well


  54. ForTruth says:

    I saw the old clips of Dan Rather getting into it with Nixon. Even Nixon kept some level of composure and dealt with it, like a professional should. The exchanges were allowed to take place.

    Shit nowadays if that happens the reporter would be fired the next day, and family would disappear. They are much more afraid to ask the tough questions, they know they will just be removed. If that isn’t moving away from a free country I don’t know what is.


  55. Marie says:

    And he doesn’t allow follow up questions. She sat down. I saw only Gregory persist for a follow up only to get another non-reply.
    One day I expect to see W explode in rage at one of these press conferences. He is petulant, defiant, and arrogant. He cannot continue to defend his losing position. His contradictions and revisions are more numerous. He is cracking at the edges, and Humpty Dumpty is either going to have to take more meds or cease the pressers.



  56. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

  57. ForTruth says:

    Remember “Schoolhouse Rock” played on Saturday morinings during cartoons? We bought that tape for my 9 year old son, and I watched it with him, all the episodes are there. It was real nostalgic, but I noticed, some of that material would be considered leftist propaganda today, or even Anti-American.

    The one that was most poingent (sp?) was the one about how we had a revolution, due to taxation without representation, and they throw the bucket on the king after the Boston Tea party. Run the British out, and we’re gonna have a president instead of a king.

    “Rockin and a Rollin”
    “Splishin and a splashin”
    “Over the horizon what do I see”
    “It looks like its goin to be, a free country”

    I know its corny, but what would people say if that material was shown to kids nowadays? The concept of revolution and throwing out a King? Taxation with representation?

    What have we become?


  58. W. Dylan says:

    I support this blog. I believe Bush and his administration are incompetent.

    But if we are going to make true progress, then we need to be judicious in our critique. In none of the three examples supplied by Payson does Bush ever claim that Saddam and Zarqawi had an operational relationship. Technically, there is no history being rewritten here. Naturally, however, there is a lack of total honesty.


  59. ForTruth says:

    Ren,

    We got it on video tape, I don’t know if they have a DVD, it is really good stuff, I didn’t know how good I had it when I was a kid.


  60. redbone says:

    “The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. Past events, it is argued, have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and in human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it. It also follows that though the past is alterable, it has never been altered in any specific instance. For when it has been recreated in whatever shape is needed at the moment, then this new version is the past, and no different past has ever existed.”

    George Orwell, in the voice of Emmanuel Goldstein, 1984


  61. ForTruth says:

    Hey I got an idea, we have Bush sit down and watch “Schoolhouse Rock”.

    It gives the basic fundamentals of government, the Constitution, our founding fathers, and some grammar to boot. Its put in a format with catchy songs, and cartoon depictions. I think that would be a perfect way to introduce George to America and how things work.


  62. Marie says:

    We have School House Rock in our house too – on DVD.
    It was a great learning tool.


  63. ForTruth says:

    Ren you are entirely welcome, and thanks for the positive feedback.


  64. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    W. Dylan
    Bush’s use of “operational relationship” is his current phrase to try to parse the language and sidestep his responsibility for repeatedly, even in his 9-11-06 speech, to connect Iraq and the 9-11 attack. “Technically” takes a back-seat to reality, morality, and intentionality!

    #44,

    You haven’t debunked anything. Zarqawi was in Baghdad.

    The Committee concluded in 2004 that the CIA reasonably assessed that the al-Qa’ida or associated operatives were present in 2002 in Baghdad, and in Kurdish-controlled northeastern Iraq. The Committee noted that the CIA approached the issue of safehaven by describing the presence of al-Qa’ida and individuals associated with Ansar al-Islam-mainly the al-Zarqawi network-and explaining why the Iraqi regime likely knew of their presence in Baghdad and Kurdish areas.

    Given the pervasive presence of Iraq’s security apparatus, it would be difficult for al-Qa’ida to maintain an active, long-term presence in Iraq without alerting the authorities or without at least their acquiescence.


  70. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    Steed Lankershim

    And how long were the 9-11 hijackers in the U.S. planning (i.e. operating) and there presence known by U.S. agencies?

  81. pessimist says:

    Here is Colin Powell at the UN on 2/5/03, promoting the upcoming Iraq war:

    But what I want to bring to your attention today is the potentially much more sinister nexus between Iraq and the al-Qaida terrorist network, a nexus that combines classic terrorist organisations and modern methods of murder. Iraq today harbours a deadly terrorist network headed by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, an associated collaborator of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida lieutenants.

    He used Zarqawi’s name more that 20 times in that speech, even though Zarqawi seems to have been in a part of the country that was controlled by the Kurds, not Saddam.

    Also, Bush prevented the US military from taking Zarqawi out in 2002. (see this from WSJ, 10/25/04 and this from MSNBC)


  82. Bill+from+Dover says:

    Yeah, and he never said that Sadam ordered the 9/11 attacks either. Get off the Liar-in-Chief’s back.

    Comment by Steed Lankershim — September 15, 2006 @ 6:46 pm

    From the report (emphasis mine): “Reporting shows that unknown numbers of al-Qa’ida associates fleeing Afghanistan since December have used Iraq - including the Kurdish areas of nothern Iraq, Baghdad, and other regions – as a safehaven and transit area. We lack positive indications that Baghdad is complicit in this activity, but the persistence of an al-Qai’da presence and the operatives silence may indicate that Baghdad is acquiescent or finds their presence useful.

    Did you think I wouldn’t check, Steed?

    So let’s review:

    “[. . .] unknown numbers” doesn’t translate to Steed’s assertion that “Zarqawi was in Baghdad.”

    Strawman one bites the dust.

    “We lack positive indications that Baghdad is complicit in this activity.”

    Your clumsy paraphrase omits the operative part (a lie by omission): that there is no proof that “Baghdad was complicit,” the rest is supposition, on the part of the commission, and you.

    Strawman two, sent home crying to mama.

    “May indicate” also doesn’t mean “Zarqawi was in Baghdad,” does it?

    Your are an intellectual fraud, as I’ve just shown, but thanks for trying.

  86. CyraBrown says:

    As more information is revealed, exposing all of the Lies BushCo has showered us with over the years, these denials will become more frequent, more ridiculous and more obvious to those who are a bit slower on the uptake. Even if the reporters do not play ‘gotcha!’ with the President, at least they are getting him on record giving us the proof we need to show that he has been lying all along. The ability to compare his actual statements, then and now is vitally important. This is the only proof that the Righties will accept, no matter how they nitpick and parse the words. They are doing that in a last desperate attempt to save themselves as well. They all went along with BushCo, and are ‘guilty by association’, and they know it. The clock is ticking…

    Bush Presser and Gregory
    By: John Amato on Friday, September 15th, 2006 at 11:33 AM – PDT
    Bush refused to accept Gregory’s question which is very relevant to the discussion about Article III. It was never vague before. As Ezra says,

    This is by far the pissiest press conference Bush has given. He’s furious. I assume his feet are manacled behind the microphone. Otherwise, he’d be stalking across the stage, tearing apart the podium, and occasionally leaping into the crowd to rip out David Gregory’s heart…
