"Funny, you don't seem to have the same problem letting go of Mr. Bush's lies."
If I believed Bush lied about anything of significance, I'd not be inclined to look the other way or discount it. Regarding the Nigerian nuke material matter, the facts overwhelmingly do not support that Bush lied or intentionally mislead......
<font size=4>Administration officials insisted Sunday that President Bush’s disputed statement about Iraqi uranium shopping in Africa was accurate, even while conceding anew that his State of the Union address should not have included it.
Both Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice, Bush’s national security adviser, said the United States and Britain have intelligence that supports the contention that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein sought uranium in Africa for nuclear weapons.....
....The statement was and remains accurate; it was cleared for delivery by all necessary agencies; it was a minor part of Bush’s speech; it is supported by more evidence than documents revealed earlier but proved to have been forged.....
....Still, "The British stand by their statement," Rice said on Fox News Sunday. "They have told us that despite the fact that we had apparently some concerns about that report, that they had other sources, and that they stand by the statement." .....
....Speaking of the clamor that has arisen over the statement, Rice said, "It is ludicrous to suggest that the president of the United States went to war on the question of whether Saddam Hussein sought uranium from Africa. This was a part of a very broad case that the president laid out in the State of the Union and other places."
On CBS’ Face the Nation, she expanded on that: "The president took the nation to war to depose a bloody tyrant who had defied the world for 12 years, who was building a weapons of mass destruction program and had weapons of mass destruction."....<font size=3>

I realize that in your zealous hatred of Bush & republicans that you are willing to cling to any propaganda spewed by your America hating peers on the left. That however, is not the standard I apply to determine who is lying & who is telling the truth. I let objective reporting of credible factual evidence be my guide. And thus far, most credible evidence indicates that Bush is honest & straightforward & most Americans also feel this way.
That is an indisputable fact.
You & your American hating peers can spew lies, distort facts & spin tall tales all you wish. It won't change reality or the objectivity of most Americans. |
