Remember THESE Bush Gems? [View All]

[Delano]

Remember all through late 2002 and early 2003, how Bush repeated OVER and OVER and OVER how he was "sick" of "playing tic-tac-toe" and whatever other games with Saddam (as though Saddam had done something of any consequence since our 1998 bombing of his remaining WMD sites).

How he would not make war on Saddam "if he would comply with UN resolutions." When Saddam presented tables full of documents, that wasn't enough. When he allowed inspectors full access to anyplace they wanted to go, that wasn't enough -in fact, Bush even lied that Saddam wasn't letting the inspectors in! Bush insisted over and over that he had not yet "made a decision to go to war" - even when he had 100,000+ troops en route to Kuwait!

He was obviously lying that there was any way for Saddam to avoid war, and LYING that he hadn't made up his mind about going to war. And when Iraq failed to put up ANY defense to our invasion, WMD or otherwise, it became clear that Bush had been LYING about the weapons as well.

WHY doesn't this constant pattern of deceiving the American people not bother repukes in the least?

Watching Bush's bizarre, surreal performances during that period made me SURE that there was NO way to avoid war, that he had made up his mind (I went to the protests anyway) It was so obvious that every word was a lie - do you think most Americans remember him saying these things?

I've posted on Yahoo boards that apparently Saddam had pretty much been complying with UN resolutions after 1998, and those people act like I had said that 2+2 = 9.

Is everybody else on some kind of weird SOMA-like drug where they listen to Bush's stumbling, bizarro lies and it somehow sounds reasonable and sincere?

GRRR...
