Reply #70: Let's focus on Bush, the unethical liar [View All]

[Pobeka]

The war in Iraq is a mess for lot's of reasons. But having an unethical bastards like Bush 'n Cheney continue to run the show will only mean more misery for the Iraqi's, Americans, Israeli's, Palestinians, <fill in the blank>.

Will, it's like I said a few weeks ago:

Bush campaigned on his integrity, honesty, etc. I think
you've said it, but to me it seems blazingly clear -- if Bush
found out the Niger thing was bogus, even 1 day before the
start of the war, he should have revisited the issue with
congress and the american public before committing people to
their deaths. (And it's very clear he knew before the war
the nuclear issue was bogus).

Supposing you went to the doctor, had some tests, and the
doctor says "we gotta cut your leg off to save your life", and
you say, "ok". Now, 1 hour before the operation, the doctor
finds out your test results were swapped with another patient.
Does the doctor cut your leg off anyway, just to appear
competent? No! An ethical doctor will inform you of the
mistake, review the situation and you proceed from there.
