What pisses me off is that this should have started months ago.

The unanswered charge of BushLied was allowed to go on until the President's ability to successfully prosecute this war was placed in jeopardy. We cannot blame the Democrats for being craven and dishonorable: that is to be expected. Dishonor is in their nature. We can blame George Bush for placing support for the war, a critical strategic necessity if you read your Clausewitz, in doubt by allowing these lies to stand unchallenged.

That was a political mistake that, in the long run, was a disservice to the troops in the field. A lie unanswered does damage to the cause for which good men died. I don't care how much you people think that "rope-a-dope" is a stroke of genius. I don't happen to agree.

As Churchill said, "a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on."

Bush has rolled out, Cheney has rolled out. I expect to see Condi rolled out in the near future. These bastards asked for it. They want to peddle appeasement? They're welcome to it!

Be Seeing You,

Go back and check when these "Bush lied" things really started gaining steam. I believe it was right after Hurricane Katrina. The left had success with attacking Bush on the response to Katrina (thanks to our spineless Republican senators and congressmen and the media/Rat partnership). And the Miers brouhaha also kept Bush from making the case for Iraq. While these two issues were commanding much of the news, the democrats got their PR machine rolling (a la Cindy Sheehan, etc.)

I believe that the delay was because of these issues, and also I am geting the feeling that some much-looked-for PROOF has been located.

Remember, during all of this the President has still been visiting bases and posts and talking up the war andthe role of the military.

Don't let the media make you think nothing has been happening.
