Another Bush LIE on the evening news!!! |
|
Today, in front of several press members the president told another lie. Bush stated that the "Mission Accomplished" banner hoisted on the USS Abraham (pardon me if I have the incorrect name of the vessel)during his May 1st address was put there by the service men and women of the USS Abraham and the banner was intended to convey the message that the men and women of the USS Abraham had completed their mission. Even though of course the president was announcing the end of major combat operations.
Another reason I believe this is a lie is because, "how long have people expressed their disagreement with that banner as our men and women are still being killed daily?"
NOW, the administration is saying it had nothing to do with that banner? C'mon!!!
I believe MWO needs to start an e-mail campaign to FOX, NBC, etc.

its already been debunked unless the cokehead asshole liar Bush wants to try and parse it to wher he meant the troops only "put up" the banner meaning, hung it.

2. All we have to do if find the press conf |
|
when either bush or ari were asked (I think it was bush): "on the carrier, you indicated by banner...mission accomplished....does it seem like mission is accomplished?" Something like that......
And Bush asnwered.....and explained something about the diff before and after baghdad fell...blah blah blah.
That's when he would have said.....I don't know what that dang banner was about!

13. Please Step Up to the Plate! |
|
Anybody, please -- just walk right into the next press conference and pose this question:
"Mr. President, Even though you were not really elected and some say should not even occupy these publicly owned premises, why must you tell one fib after another in the vain effort to keep yourself in the Oval Office beyond January, 2005? Have you, sir, at long last, then, absolutely no sense of decency?"

3. Defense Dept. memo released today said the WH placed the sign |
|
Bill Press mentioned it while Pat Buchanan tried to change the subject. Press quoted the Defense Dept. as saying, "The sign was in fact produced by the White House". The problem is that Republicans have been getting away with lies for so long, and their lies have gone unchallenged for so long, that they think they can get away with any old lie. Their mistake.

9. Here's the original WH release before it was taken down: |
|
http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:jK8W0ZMYnKoJ:www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/06/20030605-1.html+I+am+happy+to+see+you,+an+so+are+the+long-suffering+people+of+Iraq.+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8I believe this is the cached White House Press release that they recently took down because in the speech, Bush says: "I am happy to see you, an so are the long-suffering people of Iraq. America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished. (Applause.) "

How does he spew forth such patent fabrications? But, then, we must not try to apply reason, for we should run quite mad. The damnable bit is that so many of the unlettered masses believe what he, Cheney, and Rove perpetrate. Is there any way to send the whole country back to fifth grade before Nov. 2004?

17. Too bad this concerns Seamen and not Semen... |

The Press won't touch it. No "Titillation Factor" to it, because it isn't bleeding, isn't Cumming, and didn't involve a shark.
"It wasn't about the Sex" my ASS! They don't get it. their failure (by "They" I mean the Press, Congress, mouthpieces like Scarborough (John Edward told me that Lori says "hi", Joe!) etc.)to jump on this story like flies on shit tells me that it was NOT "The Lying", but indeed it was all about "The Sex"....
