A good summary of Tuesday's lies. http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0310/S00252.htmBUSH: "I would assume that they're either, or, and probably both Ba'athists and foreign terrorists."
FACT: "There are a growing number of interviews with Iraqi resistance fighters that establish that many, perhaps most, of them are not Ba'athists and not foreigners. One interviewed in the San Francisco Chronicle said that he took up arms after the Fallujah massacre, in which U.S. troops fired into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators, killing 15," said Rahul Mahajan, author of the book "Full Spectrum Dominance: U.S. Power in Iraq and Beyond." http://www.rahulmahajan.com>

BUSH: "The best way to deal with them is to harden targets, harden assets as best as you can."
FACT: "Historically, there is no technological fix for terrorism. You have to deal with the complex sources of terrorism.... If you harden targets, then there are the vulnerable points, and even hardened targets are vulnerable; if you harden an entire society, what do you get?" said Beau Grosscup, author of "The Newest Explosions of Terrorism" and professor of international relations at California State University in Chico.

1. I just love it when this SOB gets caught in outright bull... |
|
Besides the fact that that was the worst news conference ever, it just shows how pathetic this puppet really is.
Ah, the sweet reality of justification.

2. Official transcript of press conference sanitized |
|
I checked out the transcript of the press conference on the WhiteHouse.gov site, and they had CLEANED IT UP to make Shrubbie's poor command of the English language less obvious. Shrubbie used the word "suiciders" several times in his attempts to answer questions; the word as he had spoken it did not appear ONCE in the official transcript.
These lying, cheating bastards!
