Bush: ‘It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.’
In an interview with ABC News, President Bush asserted that he first learned about the CIA’s destruction of the torture tapes when Director Michael Hayden briefed him last Thursday:
“My first recollection of whether the tapes existed or whether they were destroyed was when [CIA Director] Michael Hayden briefed me,” Bush said.
“There’s a preliminary inquiry going on and I think you’ll find that a lot more data, facts will be coming out,” he said, “that’s good. It will be interesting to know what the true facts are.”

Bush: ‘It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.
Once they get fixed, you mean?
December 11th, 2007 at 12:44 pmLIAR. LIAR. LIAR
December 11th, 2007 at 12:45 pmInteresting to know what the true facts are?????
And uninteresting, presumably, to know what the “false facts” are…
In any event, thanks to such stalwarts as Jay Rockefeller, we ain’t going to know any facts, true or otherwise…
December 11th, 2007 at 12:47 pmTrue facts? What’s interesting is Bush thinks there is a need to add the word True to the word Fact. Very telling. Too many years with “The Math” teacher Rove to understand that Truth and Facts go hand in hand.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:48 pmBush: “It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.”
That way I can avoid repeating them.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:48 pmwill someone PLEASE smack the dogsh*t out of that retard!
P L E A S E !
December 11th, 2007 at 12:49 pmhere are the facts bush:
9-11 was a false flag operation…
but since you had a part in it, i sure can sleep better knowing that YOU know how my pet goat turned out.
FU*KING TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 11th, 2007 at 12:50 pmSo, even though he’s been caught several times lying about his recollection of things, the media just gives him a free pass…
I’m beginning to think that the real evil in this country comes from corporations and their control over mass media…. rather than from the neo-naz… um, sorry, neo-cons who took advantage of the situation
December 11th, 2007 at 12:53 pmTrue facts? What’s interesting is Bush thinks there is a need to add the word True to the word Fact.

Excellent point.

December 11th, 2007 at 12:54 pmdidn’t he say the exact same thing about the Plame leak case? the one in which he was personally involved?
December 11th, 2007 at 12:54 pmsheesh- what an ass.
#8–Welcome to the party, pal!
December 11th, 2007 at 12:56 pmSeriously, what does this guy do all day that he isn’t informed of anything? Maybe he is spending too much time on digg reading the headlines? Could someone cut off his “internets” access so he will pay attention please??
December 11th, 2007 at 12:56 pm“It will be interesting to know what the true facts are.†or should he be saying, “We will be cooking up some facts for you soon.”
Everything Bush says is a lie, so why in the world would anyone believe him, he IS A PROVEN LIAR.

December 11th, 2007 at 12:56 pmHow bad does it have to get for people in the room to just start laughing at him? It truly amazes me that this hasn’t happened yet.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:57 pmWhat comes from Bush’s mouth is all BUSH-IT!!!
December 11th, 2007 at 12:57 pmA great many people have been saying the same thing for nearly seven years. Every few weeks, even before this regime officially started, many people have wondered ‘what the truth is’, ‘what the facts are’, without the need to distingusih between ‘true facts’ versus any other kind of ‘fact’.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:57 pmPlausible deniability is wearing extremely thin.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:57 pmPresident Bush asserted that he first learned about the CIA’s destruction of the torture tapes when Director Michael Hayden briefed him last Thursday.
Right. And you learned about the NIE report 13 months after Sy Hersch. Right. And those WMD’s & aluminum tubes are in Cheney’s Hendler sized safe. Right. And you stand by the fact you were never AWOL in the Air National Guard. Right. And you have never lied to the American people. Right.
And you still expect us to believe this BS? Right.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:57 pmYet more evidence of the giant gaping hole in life left by the absence of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:58 pm.
Dear Mr. Bush,
How does one “FIX FACTS”?
.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:00 pmWhich is worse a lame assed president or lame assed congress?
December 11th, 2007 at 1:00 pm20…you almost think that the media barons are trying to drag out the writer’s strike. That way, the can run dirt-cheap reality bs, the sheep will still tune in, and they get to keep stewert and colbert off the air as a bonus.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:01 pm“There’s a preliminary inquiry going on and I think you’ll find that a lot more data, facts will be coming out,†he said, “that’s good. It will be interesting to know what the true facts are.â€
“facts coming out“?
when has that ever happened in this administration?
why would (should) it happen now?
December 11th, 2007 at 1:03 pmThe facts will be fixed around the policy.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:04 pmThe United States President is a War Criminal and/or incompetent.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:04 pmBush: ‘It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.’
What does that comment even mean? He’s the frigin’s President. Why doesn’t he already know what the facts are? Is this guy even running the country or is he just a puppet?
Sorry, my mistake. Its because he’s a fu(king idiot.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:04 pmLIER! WAR CRIMINAL! AND BUSH STILL HAVE A LOT TO INSWER ABOUT 9/11!!!!
December 11th, 2007 at 1:09 pmtorture were used to extract information from Abu Zabaydah, an alleged al-Qaeda operative said to have helped plan the Sept. 11 attacks. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? MEANS THAT THEY TORTURED ABU AND INDER TORTURE HE “CONFESSED” INVOLVEMENT ON 9/11 AND BUSH USED THIS AS EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNDER TORTURE I’LL SIGN A DOCUMENT SELLING MY MOTHER AND ASSERTING EVERYBODY THAT I ALONE HAVE DISCOVERED AMERICA! 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! AND THIS TORTURE TAPES HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS! IMPEACH, INDICT, IMPRISON THE WAR CRIMINALS, THE LIER, THE TORTURES, THE TRAITORS AND THE DESERTER! BUSH AND CHENNEY AND REPITILE RICE, HAGE 09!
Bush: ‘It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.’
That statement right there is a lie. Bush has never been interested in anything, except what’s for dinner or “what country can I bomb next?”
He’s certainly not interested in the “true facts” — not if the false facts work for him, I mean.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:09 pma textbook handjob of an answer, proffered up by the textbook handjob of a President.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:13 pmhow can one recall that which one claims not to have known about?
December 11th, 2007 at 1:14 pmtranslation: “I’m going to be impressed when Dick hands me the prepared statement as to what the “true facts” are.”
December 11th, 2007 at 1:14 pmAll the facts will come out at chimpy’s war crimes trial at Nuremberg
December 11th, 2007 at 1:16 pmBush: ‘It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.’
Liar-in-chief + torture tapes = stall tactic
December 11th, 2007 at 1:27 pmthe “true facts” vs the “facts”?!?!?!?!
December 11th, 2007 at 1:37 pmOh, give me a break. He’s the President. These folks report to him. If he wanted to know the facts, he would. If he doesn’t, he’s incompetent and/or complicit.
It’s really not that complex.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:40 pmThings just get stranger and strangerer…
December 11th, 2007 at 1:41 pmT.R.U.E. facts = Tactical Republican Universal Evasion facts
December 11th, 2007 at 1:47 pmBush: “Those reeaal facts can stay in the closet with the gays. Don’t need ‘em out here in public.”
December 11th, 2007 at 1:49 pm“facts will be coming out,â€
the only things that come out in republican adminstrations come out of closets, or airport restroom stalls.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:53 pm“Bush: ‘It’ll be interesting to know what the true facts are.’
What does that comment even mean?”
Yeah. This is my reaction to MANY, MANY comments emerging from “the other side of the aisle.” Such things appear to proceed entirely from the lizard brain which — Arthur Koestler would have said, I guess — lies beneath our advanced layers of cortex & keeps pounding its fists upwards, ruining and interrupting our more civilized thoughts. The ‘cons seem to WANT to give in to the worst impulses of the lizard brain. I have never understood it and never will.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:11 pmTrue facts mean nothing to you, bushshit.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:12 pmI’d love to waterboard YOU, you stinking asshat chimp, and learn exactly what those “true facts” are.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:30 pmremarkably troll-free posting. such things make you doubt the resolve of conservatives and the neo-conservative movement. they no longer care to stand up and fight for what they once believed in.
eh?
December 11th, 2007 at 3:39 pmImpossible Mission Unaccomplished
As in previous missions their will be no comments because;
It is an ongoing Congressional investigation.
It is an ongoing Judaical investigation.
It is an ongoing appeal.
It is classified.
… and as usual if you or any member of your Impossible Mission Unaccomplished team is caught or captured all E-mails and video tapes will self destruct in 5 seconds.
December 11th, 2007 at 4:41 pmthe true facts: Bush’s 9/11 coverup idiot traitor full of lies so obviuosly involved in the attacks of September 11 should be tried jailed and executed for lying and betraying this great nation! All done with the sole purpose of finding an excuse to invade Iraq! Idiot freak! Death to the freak Bush! Now!
December 11th, 2007 at 5:01 pmThis sounds like a replay of what Bush said about the Plame name leak. He says one thing and knows the facts to be much different. Some people call that lying.
December 11th, 2007 at 7:40 pmtrue facts
Is “true facts” what is left over after the spin doctors have had their way with the real “truth”?
December 11th, 2007 at 8:59 pm“It will be interesting to know what the true facts are.” – George Bush
Wouldn’t it, George? Living in a unreal world can be taxing on everyone.
