Inauguration in Wonderland
http://tvnewslies.org/html/inauguration_in_wonderland.html



For George Bush is in his own Wonderland, and sees what he wants to see. In this fantasy world, no one questions and no one challenges. In this imaginary world, he has a mandate to continue his personal wars with impunity.

But what pleases him most is that no one is ever held accountable.



This past Sunday, the following paragraphs appeared in the Washington Post:

President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me.”

This coming Thursday, the man who made these remarks will be sworn in for a second term as President of these United States. In a rational world, that wouldn’t make any sense at all. But in these illogical times, all things are possible.

Let’s get this straight, so there’s no misunderstanding. President Bush claims that his re-election is a call for full absolution for him and his entire administration for all the death and destruction and chaos they have caused in Iraq. He insists the American people now hold no one accountable for any errors of judgment or planning that resulted in the greatest foreign policy blunder in recent history.

Think about that. No one at all is responsible for the deceptions, the distortions, the fabrications, and the outright lies that led to the war against Iraq. No one at all can be held responsible for the lack of planning, for refusing to listen to the experts, and for invading a sovereign nation on false premises in defiance of international law.
