Am I in an alternate universe? Bush invaded Iraq to provide a stable government in the ME?

Whatever happened with wmd's? mushroom clouds? aluminum tubes in the desert? yellow cake from the Niger? saddam's link to 9/11?

Today on MSNBC it was Dan Senor, joined later by Ari Fleischer, spouting stuff about our involvment in Iraq. I felt as if there was another reality out there that I had not lived in....

1. Not at all

They present a complete inversion of reality. ReTHUGS LIE the way the rest of us breathe - up is down - in is out - spin, spin, spin, they revise history better than most writers of fiction.

2. Hush now, America is creating its shared reality of what good guys we are

and how contrary to being a war criminal, Bush gave us good faith torture that was downright patriotic and peace was brought to the world through waterboarding.

Both men have a vested interest in re-writing the history.
