Bush did lie. Or better mis-represented and mis-emphasized the truth.
He lied that Islam was peace.
He lied that Sadaam had much of anything to do with 911 because he was covering for his friends the Saudi’s, who were in tight with his family for multiple generations. He was sneaking them out of the country while he was building the narrative to finish what daddy didn’t.
Muslims DID rejoice on rooftops, though not in the known quantities and locations that Donald “remembers” and when keeping in mind that day, that I TOO saw them rejoicing on rooftops and so did my family members IN New Jersey at that time... I don’t think failure to give exact quantities and gps coordinates was within the scope of Donald’s jurisdiction at that time.
It was represented that way in the press as well.
Pictures of their rejoicing were suppressed and scrubbed from news outlets as well as the pictures and recordings of dead New Yorkers splattering on the concrete after falling 65 floors or so to their deaths while burning alive.
That “Islam means peace, Islam is peace” was absolute bull crap. LIAR GW LIAR... GW KNEW it was Saudi Arabia. KNEW. Yet we rightly get torqued at Hillary for lying about the Benghazi video. She was just following the track record of ALL governmental globalist hacks. Just follow the money.
I have heard Trump say WE will “repeal and replace,” as I have told you before, it is in numerous recordings all over the place... but I have never heard any statement that he is intending to “expand Obama care.” That is just plain not a true statement.
Regarding repeal however, do we actually believe that Congress will allow President Trump to sign a bill that repeals Obama care outright?
I don’t think they will give him a bill to sign to begin with. I think they will stall about building a replacement that they intend to ram down his throat and ours... and in the meanwhile Obama care will go another four years with it’s tentacles growing like a pile of maggots on a rotting corpse.
I think Donald will try to manipulate a way to kill it via exec order and the pubbies and demos will find a way to work together to ram it to him, like they intended to do to us from the git go.
That’s what I think.
Your turn...
I agree with you concerning the difficulties of repealing Obama care, and I wish those who mindlessly hero worship Donald Trump would consider how politics actually works.
As to Bush lying, we don't know the actual state of his knowledge because there is simply no evidence to support the idea that this is a giant conspiracy to spare the family's connection with the Saudi's. Let's wait and see what this new evidence brings in.
As to lying about Islam being a religion of peace etc. I think we should remind ourselves that 1.6 billion souls on earth are Muslim and it was no doubt a calculated position of the Bush administration, as it is the position of the Obama administration although perhaps for different less noble motives, that a distinction must be made between terrorists and the Muslim faith. So Bush declared war on terrorism instead of a war on militant Islam. I thought at the time it was fastidious and would not have much effect. But it was not a stupid approach, at least in the beginning of our reaction to 9/11.
The question remains whether Donald Trump's big mouth has converted more of the 1.6 billion potential Muslim terrorists into terrorists. We have no way of knowing. We have no way of knowing whether rallying the homefront against Muslims in general (as Trump undeniably has done although he professes to the contrary) works on balance to our advantage by waking the country up and perhaps making is more wary of permitting any Muslims to intrude the homeland.
But to call these things lies when one is stating an opinion rather than advancing a fact is wrong. Trump advanced false statements of fact.
