After four years of changing reasons and contrived justifications, and they are just catching him on it?
Wow, I am so impressed with the reporting power of AP…
October 15th, 2006 at 11:03 amIt is heartening to see that the AP is finally questioning the administration’s continuining justifications for taking this country to war. This begs the question: will the majority of this country finally acknowledge that Bush’s policy in Iraq is a failure by throwing the Republicans out of office this November?

October 15th, 2006 at 11:15 am“…the hope of the civilized world depends on us…”
Cheney is such an egotist. Now if only he would put his body where his mouth is by trading in his hunting rifle for a military rifle and go to the war front and fight along side of our Marines and solders. Cheney is so eager to send other people off to fight his wars when he never served a day in his life. Cheney – today’s Traitor of the Decade.
October 15th, 2006 at 11:32 amBut he didn’t! After all, apocalyptic neo-con badthink already put the ‘clash of civilizations’ on the table few years ago and the ‘axis of 3vIL’ had been pulled out of the hat immediately after 9/11. So now the fight is against just ‘evil’; better put the ‘Book of Revelations’ into your backpack, soldier! Maybe now that the ‘axis’ has gone firecracker on one end and frayed on the other (’evil’ being no longer identifiable or attributable to a single man), one has to simplify the message.
October 15th, 2006 at 11:38 amSlow news day so far…
October 15th, 2006 at 11:41 amEl Tonno – right on… keep the message simple for simple minded folks… the ones that voted for Bush.
October 15th, 2006 at 11:43 amcalendar boy for why a drug test should be done on the people who run the toilet of the world ,, hail to stupidity
October 15th, 2006 at 11:53 amBetter late than never – but will it last.
October 15th, 2006 at 12:12 pmBush has, “The Eye of the Tiger” going on…The paper tiger.
October 15th, 2006 at 12:17 pmI wonder if he plays it in his headphones while he’s jogging..?
Better late than never – but will it last.

I have a crinkly, smelly old $1 bill that says — No.
October 15th, 2006 at 12:26 pmBushCo = LIARS
October 15th, 2006 at 12:42 pmMy spouse penned this a couple of days ago and gave me permission to post it here. This seems like a relevant enough thread:
ELEPHANTS, ASSES AND PEDOPHILES
Elephants, Asses and Pedophiles,
Oh, my what tangled webs beguiles.
Fear and smear. Cut and run.
NO party’s better than the other one.
Payoffs. Blame Games. Grasping at straws.
Spineless leaders. ALL have flaws!
A lie based war. Rigged elections.
The vampires can’t see their own reflections.
Flipping and flopping. Roll over, play dead.
Why won’t the Ass kick the Elephant’s head?
Our constitution’s down the drain,
Cap’n she can’t take much more of this strain!
We the people… what a joke!
We’re a blind, apathetic folk.
Dumb us down, we don’t mind.
We’re ALL children left behind.
We see truth stare us in the face,
Then reelect yet more disgrace.
Oh, God forbid! Two boys might kiss…
Is that more important than an armistice?
But talk is cheap, and so are lives,
According to our political connives.
War on terror? It doesn’t exist.
October 15th, 2006 at 1:05 pmBut the war on FREEDOM does persist.
“CALLING” him on it would be a more appropriate title.
October 15th, 2006 at 1:16 pmThe ThinkPropagandists seem to be censoring dissent again.
October 15th, 2006 at 1:34 pmI see you there, NoPropaganda. Does anyone else see it? What do you have to say?
October 15th, 2006 at 1:54 pmI simply posted the fact that “Bush keeps revising war justification.” is a partisan lie, and ThinkPropaganda deleted it.
Fascists.
October 15th, 2006 at 1:57 pmI am convinced that NoProp is a reincarnation of wwallace, the obnoxious troll who once visited here.
October 15th, 2006 at 2:26 pmWe should ignore NoProp.
Marie – agreed.
October 15th, 2006 at 2:44 pmHow do I invade thee,
let me count the ways.
I accuse thee of having WMD
I force the inspectors to flee
I link thee to 9/11
and to the terrorists haven
And when I muck up all
three years after the fall
Some might say
We’ve lost the day
And trolls give but faint praise.
“We can’t tolerate a new terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East, with large oil reserves that could be used to fund its radical ambitions, or used to inflict economic damage on the West,” Bush said in a news conference last week in the Rose Garden
Well George, I can’t tolerate your terrorist state (it sure as hell can’t be called America anymore), stealing large oil reserves to fund your radical ambitions, and to inflict economic damage on the world.
October 15th, 2006 at 2:55 pmSKdeA, I agree. America is the new terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East, with large oil reserves that can be used to fund PNAC’s radical ambitions.
October 15th, 2006 at 3:08 pm“SKdeA, I agree. America is the new terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East”
Yeah, but nobody better question liberals’ patriotism! LOL
October 15th, 2006 at 5:31 pmYeah, but nobody better question liberals’ patriotism! LOL

None of us are pleased about the current situation, you idiot.
October 15th, 2006 at 5:36 pmZooey,
The difference between being unhappy with the current administration and calling your country a terrorist state is obvious to any reasonable person.
October 15th, 2006 at 5:38 pmWell then, start being reasonable, No_Propaganda.
October 15th, 2006 at 5:43 pmPerhaps we should ask a reasonable Iraqi??
October 15th, 2006 at 5:49 pmAlso quite reasonable, RUCerious.
October 15th, 2006 at 5:51 pm22 – NoProp aka Hendler – your question is a non-sequiter. Are you calling yourself a liberal now?
And I agree with your assertion in #24. Any reasonable person who knows the definition of “terrorist state” and the actions of the government of the United States of America would have no trouble concluding American is a terrorist state. America condones torture; excepts itself from provisions of the Geneva Convention; uses extreme rendition; holds foreign nationals for years without so much as a hearing; invades sovereign countries at will; uses cluster bombs and white phosphorous in urban areas; rapes and murders civilians; is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent children, women and men; evesdrops on its own citizens without a warrant…
What part of “terrorist state” do you not understand?
October 15th, 2006 at 6:50 pmI simply posted the fact that “Bush keeps revising war justification.†is a partisan lie, and ThinkPropaganda deleted it.
Fascists.
Comment by NoPropaganda — October 15, 2006 @ 1:57 pm
Pot, meet kettle. Especially with a name like yours, comin in here spewing propaganda. I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, put down the Kool-Aid!
And as the old saying goes in your reference to ‘fascists’ it takes one to know one. The reason for the headline “Bush keeps revising war justification†is that Bush DID revise his alleged justification, and anybody with an IQ above room temperature caught onto that eons ago.
October 15th, 2006 at 6:53 pmI think NoProg keeps his thermostat set at 68.
October 15th, 2006 at 7:16 pm#2: I agree. Cheney should not have any problem fighting in Iraq, since they are in their “last throes”.
October 15th, 2006 at 7:42 pmWe are still in Iraq?!?!?!??! i thought we were done when he had that victory speech on the aircraft carrier with the mission accomplished sign and everything. are we really still over there?
October 15th, 2006 at 9:01 pmI become incensed when I see the MSM slowly waking out of it’s stupor 3 years later and act like we weren’t yelling “Viet Nam!” before the Iraq invasion. And they STILL don’t call Bush on his lie that Saddam wouldn’t let the inspectors in.
Wake Up People!
October 15th, 2006 at 11:38 pmC’mon trolls…. please come here and tell us the justification has never changed and Pres Bush’s explanations have remained consistent, and unchanging ever since the start of the invasion, or even before that.
I can’t believe there were people so blind to the plain facts. Well, even AP has noticed…
October 16th, 2006 at 12:37 amGregor,
The President’s explanations have remained consistent. Read the 2002 Iraq war resolution. Read the Iraq Liberation Act, signed by Clinton in 1998. Or remain an ignorant, blindly partisan buffoon; your call.
October 16th, 2006 at 10:41 amTheTruthShall,
Feel free to blabber again when someone finds those WMD that were such a threat to the security of the United States, or when you can find a paragraph in the 2002 resolution that talks about an American commitment to single-handedly build a democracy in Iraq.
October 16th, 2006 at 1:54 pmThe msm is NOW hedging its bets…
…we STILL need a purge…
…and to take back the people’s airwaves…
…ACCOUNTABILITY OR BUST!
…should be our motto…
…from now ’til the rotten scumsucking inbred bastiches are brought to justice…
