Duh!!!
<snip>
A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a threat.

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."

Just part of his 'brilliant' legacy.

and we must never let them forget that we know they are LIARS.
Journalists check sources.

of this disgusting regime. We have their number too, apparently it is too bad that there are many Americans who don't get what's happening yet.

And we have a lame duck congress that will not take the motherf***er down.

How many of us have been able to see the lies in real time and not need a study to show us that the boy king lied?

Good find Malaise :hi:

I can't believe Bush and Cheney have not been frog-marched yet.

that is all we will get. If these goons were doing this in another country they would have been long gone, what will it take? to stop this crap, oh, I forgot its an election year.

like Mike Hockloogy

oh well something else for them to deny

Each one a lie, each one brought death and desolation, each one robbed us of great people and wasted untold resources.

The Highest of Crimes.

:rofl: :toast: good!

DUzy time!!! :D

:thumbsup:

That SOB and his veep should have been impeached and jailed long ago.

:mad: :mad:

Not a fucking peep on a cable channel. I'm betting only KO exposes this criminality.

that is how arrogant this jerk is.

Call or email today to keep this out there. The average person in the street can understand this. Some of the crimes committed by these bastards are complicated. This is not. Bush Lied Americans Died.

Let's bombard the same lying media who repeated all of this without checking a single source. Let's remind them of Dr. David Kelly who was killed over these lies not to mention the one million Iraqis, US soldiers and other persons killed by Bush's lies.

backed him up all the way....still covering up for his ass.

A lot of information was hidden from Dems.

The Dems who initially supported BushCo thought they were relying on info from an administration who was honest and had a little bit of integrity. Instead it turned out BushCo was lying not only to the American people but to Congress as well. This is why I am adamant that the corrupt BushCo Regime should be prosecuted. Not just the top two criminals but the whole gang of co-conspirators -- Powell, Rummy, CONdi, Gonzo, Asscroft, Ridge -- round em all up and put them on public trial.

FISA
Subpoenas
Iraq war lies
Plame
Edmonds
ect..

Don't act as if they aren't covering Bushs ass. It's the facts jack.

Any coverage of the most important story today yet?
