BUSH MENDACITY WILL SHOCK HISTORIANS
Thanks to Buzzflash for the link: And now the Saudis are permitted back into our country and back into "training"???


======================================
http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/gallagher213.html

<snip>
DETROIT -- When historians write about our times, they'll shake their heads and wonder how so many people could believe so many lies for so long. They might actually write two parallel books -- one describing the cascading lies and deceptions George W. Bush and the Republicans sold and the other telling the truth.

We're told, in effect, that trampling on civil liberties and eroding freedom are a sure way to protect us from terrorists who envy our freedom. That colossal lie will be one of the lasting stains on this era, and I fear the day coming when the Busheviks or their political heirs, gripped in fascist fever, will silence those who expose the fraud.

On the heels of Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's visit to Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, we now know the prince and the president were doing more than holding hands in public. They were privately playing footsie to make it much easier for Saudis to enter the United States.

After Sept. 11, Bush reluctantly allowed the State Department to impose some tightened restrictions on Saudi visitors attempting to enter the United States. Up until then, all a Saudi citizen had to do was fill out a form at a travel agent's office and they were here in a jiffy. That's just what the 15 Saudi hijackers did.

1. Here's the link to the article I posted on May 4 in the WMW, which
Buzzflash broke out as a separate story.......

US EASES SAUDI VISA RESTRICTIONS
M. Ghazanfar Ali Khan, Arab News

RIYADH, 4 May 2005 � US Ambassador James C. Oberwetter says changes in the US visa process would ease travel between the States and Saudi Arabia.

The ambassador�s comments come in the wake of the Saudi-US Summit and before a high-profile, 63-member Saudi business mission leaves for the US next week.

Last week's visit by Crown Prince Abdullah to the United States has given a major boost to the bilateral relations,� said Oberwetter. �I am very satisfied with the outcome of the royal visit,� he said, referring to the joint communique issued after the talks held by Crown Prince Abdullah and the US President George W. Bush.

He also gave details of the Saudi commercial delegation scheduled to visit the United States from May 7-19. The delegates will hold business talks in several cities including Washington, New York, Atlanta, Chicago and Houston.

Oberwetter said once the new system was in place, it will ensure long-term stays for Saudi businessmen or tourists in the US with multiple-entry visas. It will also reduce the time lag for processing visa applications and interviews, he said, without detailing the proposed system.

8. They don't hate America
They hate the lying, horse masterbating Republicians. Freepers are usually rude, why are you different? Also, if Bush is such a good Christian, why does he break all the rules Jesus set down?

6. from "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"
Big Daddy: Now, why do ya drink?!
Brick: Give me my crutch.
Big Daddy: Tell me first.
Brick: No, you give me a drink first and I'll tell ya.
Big Daddy: Tell me first! First you gotta tell me!
Brick: All right, disgust!
Big Daddy: DISGUST WITH WHAT?
Brick: You strike a hard bargain.
Big Daddy: Boy, do you want liquor that bad?
Brick: Yes, sir. I want liquor that bad. (Big Daddy hands him his crutch)
Big Daddy: Now tell me, what are you disgusted with?
Brick: Mendacity. You know what that is. It's lies and liars.
Big Daddy: Who's been lyin' to ya? Maggie? Has your wife been lyin' to ya?
Brick: No. Not one lie, not one person. The whole thing.

The Washington Post recently noted the untruths and mischaracterizations in President Bush’s attacks against Senator John Kerry’s bid for the Oval Office. Mendacity appears to be the leading characteristic of the Bush administration.

7. Last week I saw a video, on the news
Where the Chief Cleric of Saudi Arabia, was sitting in a government mosque, telling young Saudi's to go to Iraq and kill Americans.

Seated right next to him, was The Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.

2 days later I see Bush holding this motherfuckers hand and kissing him. Can someone please explain to me where is the outrage?:wtf: Are people really dumb enough not to get it?

10. Why isn't this shit exploding all over? Why is no one
making a huge stink over this shit?


This is more batshit outrageous than Rice congradukating Chalabi on his 'comeback' to head the OIL ministry.

WHY ISN'T THE OPPOSITION GOING NUCLEAR?

9. The "Victors" write the history.
The Busheviks are already silencing those who expose them.

The Busheviks are, Right Now, running a World Wide Gulag. The scope of what is happening is almost unfathomable.
