"In wartime, truth is so precious, she should be attended by a bodyguard of lies." - Churchill to Stalin at Yalta.
You may recall from back in the day of the Bubba bimbo eruptions that everyone lies about sex. The efficacy of that defense started a new trend in government relations (no pun intended). Now everybody lies about everything.
Washington aint what it used to be: The quality of lies is in steep decline.
Former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska once damned fellow Democrat Bill Clinton with faint praise by saying he was an uncommonly good liar. Now we have Eric Holder.
Despite lots of practice, the attorney general remains an amateur with whoppers. His claim to Congress that he never heard of the Justice Departments potential prosecution of a journalist for reporting classified material wasnt just misleading it was provably false.
the Director of National Security parses his lies:
(SNIP)
But it isthere are honest differences on the semantics of whatwhen someone says collection to me, that has a specific meaning, which may have a different meaning to him.
Translation: It depends on what the meaning of is is.
The Press Secretary is a full time paid liar.
The former Secretary of State is a seasoned liar:
(SNIP)
The former US Ambassador to the UN lied to throw off the dogs:
Susan Rice, a spectacular fivefold liar(SNIP)
And of course some people think that if you throw in lies of omission, half-truths and obfuscation that even Big Guy has been forced into lying to us. Constantly.
Weve been advised that al Qaeda is in retreat. Weve met the bodyguard of lies. The only questions remaining are: 1) against whom, precisely, is this war being waged?
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives weve set. Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
And 2) who is left to hold the precious truth? I dont know the answer to that last question just yet.
Butt here at the Ministry of Truth, lets just stipulate that everybody lies about everything, all the time, okay?

I begrudge these socialist running dogs everything!
Think of the toilet paper bill the 1,000 rats ensconced in the White Hut use to wipe their filthy bottoms and the thousands of gallons of water they waste washing their excrement down the drain.
Think of the meals a government cafeteria feeds them each day....and this isn’t KFC or Burger King here.
So easy to hate!
How many of our commanders-in-chief have thought like this of late? It always seems like the enemy is more than just two steps ahead.From Chapter 1
- All war is based on deception.
- Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
- Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
- If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.
- If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
- If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them.
- Attack him where he is unprepared; appear where you are not expected.
- These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.
From Chapter 2
- There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.
I am making a bumper sticker that says “KILL ALL ALINSKYITES!”
