George Bush Is A Liar

Shocker.

A previously undisclosed exchange of letters shows that President Bush was told in advance by his top Iraq envoy in May 2003 of a plan to “dissolve Saddam’s military and intelligence structures,” a plan that the envoy, L. Paul Bremer, said referred to dismantling the Iraqi Army.

Mr. Bremer provided the letters to The New York Times on Monday after reading that Mr. Bush was quoted in a new book as saying that American policy had been “to keep the army intact” but that it “didn’t happen.”

Rule #1 of the Bush Years: Don’t believe your eyes.

    Bremer makes the unwarranted assumption that Mr. Bush was a participant in the exchange of letters that bore his name.

    I will wager that he (in observance of treasured family traditions) was “out of the loop.”

    We saw plenty four years ago. It still wasn’t enough to wake up the sleeping, easily fooled electorate.

    Twenty years from now, mark my words, some shiny, brand-new idiot just like the current one will come along selling the exact same automobile, and enough Americans will buy it because surely, surely, this one is just as good as it looks.

    You mean in the next 500 days and the shiny new idiot will be Bush selling Iran, right?

    Do. Not. Want.

    Are the right wings trolls here catching on to the fact that they’ve been played for utter dupes for years now? I’m just curious. Is there anyone out there willing to defend the incompetence and duplicity of this administration? Especially on Iraq …

    in other words, typically when oliver flat out calls Bush a liar there are any number of right wing idiots here in a flash to argue the fine points of semantics to find Bush some wiggle room. Now, not so much ..
