80 battalions? Who's lying - Bush or General Casey ?? |
|
Bush said we had 80 battalions of Iraqis fighting alongside the AMericans in Iraq? General Casey told John McCain just the other day that there was only 1 battalion that was combat ready. Which is it? One battalion or eighty battalions? How many American battalions are in Iraq? Do they take along a dozen Iraqi recruits and call it an "Iraqi battalion"? What's the truth about this?

2. Both of them, there probably aren't any that are battle ready. |
|
Those big killing missions have lately been exclusively US forces.

Right wingers start counting when the going gets rough. The numbers themselves don't mean a thing. Normal discourse is lies and distortions. When they throw numbers in then it's a BIG lie or distortion.

4. The one battalion could completely run independent military operations |
|
Bush's "80" means they are anywhere from 1% to 100% comabat ready - and only one is 100%. It is all spin, all the time.

6. Obviously it's Casey who is lying.... |
|
Our pResident would never lie to the American people. Especially after the way they made an example of Clinton for lying. Actually now that I think about it, Casey didn't lie, it must have been Clinton's fault.
