237 Lies

These are not lies about a girlfriend. These are not about failed real estate deals. These are not about discrepancies with the travel office.

These are misleading statements about Iraq made by the top five decision-makers of our country - and man, this is a barnyard full of powder kegs at Kerry's disposal.

Rep. Henry Waxman's report called "Iraq On The Record" contains a mind-boggling 237 specific misleading statements these people made as a reason to invade and take over another country, bringing even more chaos and death to not only the citizens of Iraq, but our own soldiers and citizens - horror which far outweighs an episode of oral sex in the Oval Office. When you factor in the horror that hit Baghdad today, this makes you realize how bloody and sick their little fairy tales were...and makes you wonder how these people live with themselves.

On March 19, 2003, U.S. forces began military operations in Iraq. Addressing the nation about the purpose of the war on the day the bombing began, President Bush stated: “The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder.”

One year later, many doubts have been raised regarding the Administration’s assertions about the threat posed by Iraq. Prior to the war in Iraq, the President and his advisors repeatedly claimed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that jeopardized the security of the United States. The failure to discover these weapons after the war has led to questions about whether the President and his advisors were candid in describing Iraq’s threat. This report, which was prepared at the request of Rep. Henry A. Waxman, is a comprehensive examination of the statements made by the five Administration officials most responsible for providing public information and shaping public opinion on Iraq: President George Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. It finds that the five officials made misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq in 125 public appearances. The report and an accompanying database identify 237 specific misleading statements by the five officials.

Five officials. 237 misleading statements in 125 public appearances. It adds up to one failed reckless presidency. There is an end in sight...


Is it worth 25 or 50 bucks to dump these hoodlums? Damn straight.
