Fool me once...
Bush: Talk of US attack on Iran are "ridiculous" --Feb. 22, 2005 "US President George W. Bush on Tuesday forcefully dismissed the idea that Washington is planning to attack Iran to keep the government in Tehran from developing nuclear arms. 'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous,' Bush told reporters after he met for 90 minutes at a summit meeting with the 25 European Union leaders. 'Having said that, all options are on the table.'" http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1109042628893

Bush, Schroeder Say No Concrete Plans to Attack Iraq --May 23, 2002 "President Bush says there are 'no war plans on my desk' for dealing with the threat posed by Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, but that 'we've got to use all means at our disposal to deal with Saddam Hussein.' Speaking at a press availability with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in the garden of the Chancellery in Berlin May 23, Bush said, 'I appreciate the German Chancellor's understanding of the threats of weapons of mass destruction. And they're real.' 'I promise consultations with our close friend and ally. We will exert a unified diplomatic pressure. We will share intelligence,' the President added." http://www.usembassy.it/file2002_05/alia/a2052302.htm

2. he wont fool those who actually...
listen to the news and have seen this line of garbage before. Besides he keeps saying all options are available so when he does attack, he can claim that he never said he wouldn't attack. There is a saying Mr President, and it goes like this: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. But George can't bring himself to say that because he can't admit that he is wrong, s you'll never hear him say it. All he says is fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, you can't fool me. What a dumbass!

4. Mr.bush always means what he says and says what he means
The notion the the US is getting ready to attack Iran IS ridiculous, but also true. Just because something is ridiculous does not mean it is false. USA is going to bomb Iran, may not invade until they turn over Iraq to Iraqis and have all these soldiers to pull out and zip off to Iran and Syria, but they will bomb sooner.

And, the war plans were not "on" his desk, they were in a folder "in" his desk. So, technically, the evil shit Mr.bush is not lying. Too bad. Don't misunderestimate him and never assume anything into what he says beyond what the specific words mean, and don't let them go as cutesy "bushisms".

But the media lapdogs will faithfully bark out "Ridiculous!" and fail to smell the lie right under their noses.
