So the re-education of the American people begins at Fox News. The sad thing is that there will be many Americans who will end up believing this, just like many Americans now believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, and that Iraq had WMDs.

The Fox News Republicans have no choice but to insist there is no moral equivalence between USA invading Iraq and RUSSIA invading Georgia. They can’t very well criticize Russia otherwise. Fox News Republicans are perplexed at the sight of people everywhere taking note of our hypocrisy in criticising Russia.

Wingnuts are getting lazy. They learned there is no downside to lying to their base, they will belive ANYTHING, and they arent going to convince real thinking people anyway. So they just factor lying in. Not in any way concerned with FACTS or really reality they say whatever is useful for propaganda. Apparantly they are willing to take this to galactic level stupidity. At this point they no longer seem to care HOW ludicrous what they say is.

I’m so glad Dicky finally told us all the reason wer’e in Iraq.Saddam invited us.

I heard ol’ B.Clinton knocked him on his old no neck fat ass. Apparently that made him dildo-lusional.

Dick Morris is the one who doesn’t have a clue…but then again, he is a Dick…like Cheney…although I don’t view him as being as evil a Dick as Cheney has proven himself to be.

THE PRESIDENT: We are there at the invitation of the Iraqi government. This is a sovereign nation. Twelve million people went to the polls to approve a constitution. It’s their government’s choice. If they were to say, leave, we would leave

Well, we now know what a big lie that one was. But, it was an expected lie because Bush is incapable of telling the truth.

Innocent Bystander Says:
Alan Colmes has always struck me as a pretty weak liberal. But he’s able to make simple observations that totally tie the RW noise machine in knots. Way to go Alan…I admire your willingness to hang in that pit of stupid.

The requirement for working with Hannity is that you be a weak liberal. If they got a strong liberal, Hannity would be shown to be the fool he is on a daily basis. Personally I detest Alan Colmes. I think he has sold his soul to the devil. If I had his job I would have to go home every night and wash the stench off my body. I would make it maybe a week.

We’re in Iraq as the result of a democracy asking for us to come in there. It’s not an invasion. It’s not a takeover. We’re not trying to annex Iraq.

If we are not in a takeover of Iraq, then why is the Bush Administration having such a hard time letting go?

Is Colmes trying to grow a backbone? He’s a little late.

Colmes says: We are in Iraq now at the invitation of the government.” But seconds later, Morris repeated his false assertion:

And so it goes. One idiot neo-con makes a completely false statement and the statement is then repeated a thousand times as truth. BTW we all know that Saddam invited us to come in and depose his government. Let’s see how that spin that one.

Saddam invited us to illegally invade and occupy his country ?

Along with tearing his head off at the end of a rope ?

That Dick Morris ; ever the intellectual………..

That’s an ‘invitation’ not many countries like to send to Bush and Cheney.

How is fish and US occupation in Iraq similar? After six years it really, really stinks, smelled throughout the world and everyone is tired of the smell.

Not the first or even the second time this has happened.

Martha.

Q Thank you, Mr. President. You say you want nothing short of victory, that leaving Iraq would be catastrophic; you once again mentioned al Qaeda. Does that mean that you are willing to leave American troops there, no matter what the Iraqi government does? I know this is a question we’ve asked before, but you can begin it with a “yes” or “no.”

Q — catastrophic, as you’ve said over and over again?

THE PRESIDENT: I would hope that they would recognize that the results would be catastrophic. This is a sovereign nation, Martha. We are there at their request. And hopefully the Iraqi government would be wise enough to recognize that without coalition troops, the U.S. troops, that they would endanger their very existence. And it’s why we work very closely with them, to make sure that the realities are such that they wouldn’t make that request — but if they were to make the request, we wouldn’t be there.

Not since Gerald Ford pronounced that Poland was not under Soviet domination in a 1976 debate with Jimmy Carter has there been a public pronouncement as contrary to fact as this.

You know there was a time when the talking heads would spout crap like what Morris did and Alan Colmes would let them get away with it. But of late, it seems Colmes is finally feeling his druthers. I’ve seen clips of him actuall ytaking on Hannity!! Maybe, Morris thought he was with the old Alan and could get away with his stupid comments.

I’m just saying….
