Bush Lied is the Big Lie
Real Clear Politics ^ | 22 March 2007 | Debra Saunders

Posted on 03/22/2007 8:00:22 AM PDT by Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson wants to impeach President Bush. In arguing that point, he asked Fox News' Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday, "Have you seen the National Intelligence Estimate that was provided in October of 2002, in which the intelligence agency under the State Department said that Iraq was not building up a nuclear capability, that this whole story about the aluminum tubes (reportedly sought by Saddam Hussein in Niger) was completely off base?"

I decided to re-read the NIE excerpts that the administration released. What does the report say? "Baghdad has chemical and biological weapons as well as missiles with ranges in excess of U.N. restrictions; if left unchecked, it probably will have a nuclear weapon during this decade." The NIE also reported that Iraq had "expanded its chemical and biological infrastructure under the cover of civilian production," that Baghdad had renewed production of mustard and sarin gases, and that Iraqi missiles could threaten the "U.S. homeland."

It's amazing that she is still allowed to write for a San Francisco newspaper.

All of which IS true. Its escaped Mayor Anderson's notice Al Qaeda terrorists have employed chemical weapons in attacks in Iraq. So how exactly has President Bush misled the American people?

Where was all this insight when 60 Minutes did the first story on Saddam's aluminum tubes years before Bush was President?

Since when do liberals care if they lie? Liberals always rationalize lying as for the greater good. Behind every liberal agenda is a stack of lies. Liberals take pride in lying.

Here's another point that the Bush-lied misinformation campaign has forgotten.

They did not forget. The point just does not matter to them. Their strategy is to repeat the same claims over and over again for a long enough time that people start to believe the claims simply because the arguments have been around so long.

"Bush Lied" continues to be a grassroots moonbat Lefty mantra."

"Bush lied" has replaced "Bush stole the 2000 election."
The left is demented.

Rocky Anderson has always been a left-wing moonbat. People don't realize that the political entity "Salt Lake City" is only the small urban core (200,000) of the much larger metro area. Like most urban cores in America, it leans strongly to leftist drooling moonbats like Rocky.

The anti-war people are the liars. They do it all the time. Without a care and without any penalty. This country has become an absurdity. The leftist lunatics have taken over the asylum. The anti-war goobers from the 1960's and 70's are now in Congress.

Leftwing propagandists are being paid millions and millions to poison the American people with lies and distortions.

Just look a the millions Katie Couric and the other anchors have been paid over the years, and there are thousands of Dem hack "reporters" like her, not to mention Hollywood and Academia.

They run a 24/7/365 political and cultural campaign for the leftists, with impunity.

Did you read the article? I would think she would be fired in San Fransico for siding with Bush.
