It is too late for this President to engage in profound soul searching about what has gone so terribly wrong with his presidency and with his war.

It is too late for this President to engage in profound soul searching about why he causes such intense revulsion throughout America and throughout the free world.

I do not believe George W. Bush is capable of such reflection, integrity of thought, honor of discussion. He is trapped in a world of partisanship, delusion and desperation.

He sends troops to war without adequate body armor, protected vehicles, helmets, bandages and supplies yet he accuses opponents of not supporting the troops.

He sends troops to war with such negligence and lack of support that the Marine Corps pathologist finds that up 70% of the killed and wounded were preventable casualties, yet he accuses opponents of not supporting the troops.

He allows shameful derelictions of treatment for wounded troops that should never occur in our country, yet he accuses opponents of not supporting the troops.

There is an Orwellian character to these attacks and a delusional character to this President's inability to respect facts, common sense, truth and honor in political discourse.

The President said today he decided to surge the troops and escalate the war because our commanders asked him to.

The President lied. They pleaded with him, to do the exact opposite.

1. well, it is tuesday

wht did you expect?

[aquart]

2. Okay, that's just funny.

It's only gonna be headline news if he ever, ever, ever tells the truth.

4. Breaking News, an unnamed administration official said bush told the truth today

We'll have more on this developing story at 6:00 and get reaction from national and world leaders.

[BOSSHOG]

3. And he said Iraq would not allow inspectors in to the country

and he said he would get to the bottom of the plame outing. And on and on and on. No wonder he had to buy property in Paraguay so he has someplace to escape to after the inauguration in January 2009. His life as an abject, miserable failure will continue on foreign shores.

5. In other news, the sun rises in the east

Why should today be different from any other day.

6. Why is this day different from any other day?

Sorry, that was a Passover echo.

on days ending in D-A-Y.

10. So, does he take a break from lying on Easter and Halloween? New Years Eve?

8. I did not hear a single lie

I had the sound off.

9. Let's analyze this title: "Bush Lied Today"

Where do we place the emphasis?

1. BUSH lied today. That would be in contrast to Condi, the Press Secretary what's her name, the Secretary of War, the VP. Nope nothing shocking about that. They all lie.

2. Bush LIED today. Meaning, we usually expect him to tell the truth. Um... not so much.

3. Bush lied TODAY. This suggest he lied a lot before and he'll lie some more tomorrow, but we have an specific incident of lying today we'd like to discuss. Well, that's not much news either.

Okay. The title wasn't exactly captivating: the entire administration always lie, and they lie every day.

So, he lied about the surge? Knock me over with a feather.

11. Ouch. Another paper cut.

Very well stated. He lied, again. And again. And again.

He only told the truth twice, in my estimation, when he said "I'm a war president" and "Money trumps peace". Did he really say these things? I almost have to check.



All I can think of is what a HORRIBLE mother Barbara must have been.

12. It was a day like any other day.

So naturally, Bush Lied. x(

13. And the only thing exceptional about today, is that he only lied once.

14. He Opened His Mouth.......nt

15. My 1st thought when I heard sirens in the the background was that his pants had burst

into flames.
