4. No, no one is leaving, he was just protecting his ass because

if he had admitted the truth that the US IS in charge then the rules under the Geneva Conventions on the responsibilities of occupiers could come into play immediately.

[anarch]

[bowens43]

16. This is what republicans do.

No surprise here.

[Alizaryn]

18. He continues to blow my mind .

When he went on the tangent about (paraphrasing) "The measure of the support for the war is in the recruitment for soldiers in Iraq, its up!". I wanted someone to ask him what that says about recruitment being way down in his own country, what kind of message THAT is sending him.

ALSO ... What the hell was that inset picture of people voting in Iraq doing up there? Did anyone else notice it??? How much did the administration pay the networks for that? (Its not that I object with the picture but that it was sooooo blatantly the stuff that propaganda is made of.)

[salin]

19. remember when politicians used to "spin" real facts

take a factoid, dress it up to sound even better? Weren't those the good old days... these guys just create complete fabrications and don't worry about having it related to any grain of truth or any fact.

[JohnyCanuck]

20. let us say that, yes, they are killers, liars, thieves and incompetent foo

Let us say -- as the incontrovertible facts compel us to say -- that they were willing to kill tens of thousands of innocent people in an action they knew to be illegal, reckless, ill-planned and unsupported by evidence; that they knew their public statements about the plans for war were lies; that they started the war with a vicious bombing campaign months before obtaining even a fig leaf of approval from their respective legislatures, a clear and treasonous violation of their own national laws; that long before their blitzkrieg rolled across the border, they were already divvying up the loot of conquest: the oil rights, the "privatizations," the crony contracts.

In short, let us say that, yes, they are killers, liars, thieves and incompetent fools. But let's not imagine that as they settled their safe and cosseted backsides into the fine upholstery of their elegantly appointed war rooms, they gleefully regaled each other with visions of the exquisite tortures they would soon inflict upon the children of Iraq.

Let's not imagine George W. Bush nudging Tony Blair in the ribs as they masticated their pork together, saying, "Cholera, eh? Typhoid fever. Malnutrition! By God, we can grind these Iraqi children lower than the slum rats of Haiti!" Let's not picture Dick Cheney chiding Donald Rumsfeld over the steak tartare: "Damn it, Don, if there's a single pregnant Iraqi woman left without hepatitis before we're through, heads are going to roll! I want the wombs of those Arab cows swimming in lethal viruses. Lethal, do you hear me?"

<snip>

So when leading international agencies -- including the World Bank, now headed by one of the chief liars, Paul Wolfowitz -- find that Iraq's children are dwindling and dying twice as fast under the coalition's benevolent care than under the despotism of Saddam Hussein, we should not conclude that this was the liars' conscious intention. Yes, it's true that Iraq's child malnutrition rate is now worse than the broken nations of Uganda or Haiti, as the Japan Times reports. Yes, cholera and typhoid are cutting swaths through the population, with especial virulence in the "stable" areas of the Shiite south. Yes, epidemics of hepatitis are killing pregnant women. Yes, antibiotics are scarce, leaving children, the old and the weak to die of common infections -- that is, when they can get treated at all in a health system ravaged by the liars' war and its atrocious aftermath. (Such as the destruction of Fallujah, for example, when coalition forces deliberately destroyed the city's health clinics and imprisoned doctors to prevent news of civilian casualties from leaking to the press, as the Pentagon's own "information specialists" told The New York Times.)
