That's the title of an
L.A. Times editorial this morning:
...Cheney, in commenting about Iraq on Sunday during a rare television appearance, broke new ground. He not only defended the Bush administration's record in rebuilding Iraq but he upheld sweeping, unproven claims about Saddam Hussein's connections to terrorism.
---
On Aug. 26, 2002, Cheney announced to the Veterans of Foreign Wars that "simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction," and in mid-March he declared that U.S. troops would be "greeted as liberators." Since then, no weapons of mass destruction have been found and American troops face up to 17 attacks a day.
---
The longer that top officials peddle rosy scenarios, the more resentful the audience will be when the pep talks no longer work.
I hope for the day that the Times can use the word "bullshit" in their editorials. It'd be in there several times today. Let's try it, shall we?

Bullshit! Since then, no weapons of mass destruction have been found and American troops face up to 17 attacks a day.

See? Effective and on message.
