NEW: White House Made False Statement on Iraq WMD: WHEN DO WE IMPEACH! -->
Edited on Wed Apr-12-06 09:39 AM by Dr. Jones
Let me get this straight. Lying about a blow job, BAD. Lying to Congress and the American people about taking us into an illegal preventive war of choice and endangering our lives and our national security, GOOD.

:wtf:

IMPEACH THIS BASTARD, WE HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE WE NEED!!


Lacking Biolabs, Trailers Carried Case for War
Administration Pushed Notion of Banned Iraqi Weapons Despite Evidence to Contrary

By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, April 12, 2006; A01

On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."

The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true.

A secret fact-finding mission to Iraq -- not made public until now -- had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement.

The three-page field report and a 122-page final report three weeks later were stamped "secret" and shelved. Meanwhile, for nearly a year, administration and intelligence officials continued to publicly assert that the trailers were weapons factories.

1. If it were only news...
Whomever did not know this at the time is an idiot.

You have to take the cognitive dissonance into account...

Healthy Forests Initiative - more roads through forests, open federal land for clearcutting.
Healthy Skies Initiative - redlax regulations on air quality, decrease pollution control standards
No Child Left Behind - everybody to the back of the bus!

Operation Iraqi Freedom? Do the Math!!!

2. I have always said this too.
Take every word that comes out of that asshole's mouth, and turn it into the opposite. THAT becomes the REAL truth.

4. Not Necessarily 'GOOD', but certainly not enough to shake J6P
out of his 300+ channel stupor.
