CNN: Did Bush/Blair blatantly lie about DS Minutes? - (VIDEO)
June 7, 2005

Video - CNN: Did Bush/Blair blatantly lie about DS Minutes?

In a joint press conference today, Bush and Blair were asked if they had "fixed the intelligence to fit the policy" as the Downing Street Minutes has shown.

I listened for the truth but never heard it.

2. What you heard were two non-denial denials
to use Watergate parlance.

The best they could say was "that was before we went to the UN" which is kind of the fucking point, but I guess they just don't quite get it.

7. I would classify bush's comment as a non-denial denial, but
not blair's. Blair came right out and said the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form.

Since chimpy communicates in bushspeak, it's harder to pin his words on him.

9. That's what I thought, too.....watching this. We already have evidence
that they went to the UN after the War had started. Listening to both of them was :crazy: But I think they realize they are in "trouble deep' with the "non-denial-denial" others on this thread have mentioned.

Frankly Chimp seemed to be really "protesting too much." :shrug:

5. They both keep repeating....
that this DSM was BEFORE they even went to the U.N. So? What does that have to do with anything? They WERE fitting the intelligence to meet the desired goal, invading Iraq.

bush keeps talking about his "hard work" again as well. :eyes: Gee, george, you'd think you were the first person in history to ever do "hard work". :wtf: did he think the presidency was going to be, a damned day at the beach? What an assclown, and assclown junior right beside him.

6. Blair confirms the authenticity of the document at least.
...and the document states to the opposite of what Blair & Bush claim.

re: Bush in particular, what a dumbass. Ok, 'They' just released it during Blair's campaign, does that invalidate its contents? More to the question though is when would it be appropriate to discuss it? The campaigns are both over. What's your excuse?

10. They both sound desperate.
If this is the best they can do, they're toast. This is going to stir things up again on the other side of the pond.
