Last night's Bush* lie about Iraqi oil revenues

There were so many lies that weren't followed up last night. Here's another one that pissed me off, from Geraldine Sealey in Salon's "War Room"

Then there are the Iraq oil revenues. Asked by ABC News' Terry Moran how he got it so wrong that Iraqi oil revenue would pay for most of the war-ravaged country's reconstruction -- among other never-materialized claims about the war -- the president said that in fact, "the oil revenues are bigger than we thought they would be at this point in time."

Actually, we already know that Iraq's oil revenues are far below what the administration had estimated. As the AP reported last fall: "Wolfowitz told a House panel in March that Iraqi oil revenues could be between $50 billion and $100 billion in the next two years. 'We're dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon,' Wolfowitz said in testimony March 27, a little more than a week after the war started. Current Pentagon estimates say that Iraq's oil revenue will be about $12 billion to $15 billion next year and around $19 billion in 2005 -- a fraction of Wolfowitz's prewar claim."

the media could have been involved in the full time business exposing the lie, foibles, and utter malicious foolishness these guys have gotten up to.
but instead they rehabilitate over and over again the deceit these fools put out.

treason, holistically speaking, but what does one person know?
