The Lies, The Lies
I'm not even going waste time dealing with the outrageous falsehoods that are being spread by Bush and Cheney about Iraq and al Qaeda to trick the American people in order to justify the disaster that is the war in Iraq.
But this caught my eye from the 9/11 Commission report:
Cheney, who told the commission he was operating on instructions from Bush given in a phone call, issued authority for aircraft threatening Washington to be shot down. But the commission noted that "among the sources that reflect other important events that morning there is no documentary evidence for this call, although the relevant sources are incomplete." Those sources include people nearby taking notes, such as Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and Cheney's wife, Lynne.
Bush and Cheney told the commission that they remember the phone call; the president said it reminded him of his time as a fighter pilot. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice, who had joined Cheney, told the commission that she heard the vice president discuss the rules of engagement for fighter jets over Washington with Bush.
Now we know why they wanted to meet the Commission together.
Restoring honesty and integrity to the White House, huh?
