Hi tsigprofit, I'm still waiting for your reply to my post to you here yesterday. You certainly like to make frequent assertions on SI that President Bush & his senior Administration officials lie. To my knowledge, not once have you provided credible evidence to support those nebulous assertions. Several folks, myself included, have factually established that a number of them are false assertions. And once again, your assertions are completely baseless. As for that link you are posting all over SI & the comments you made here in regard to this clearly partisan political site, you said......... "Did you listen to them lie, in their own words:..... ..... - listen - that is their own words. That should be enough for anyone." The audio portion is all heavily edited, incomplete, & inappropriately out of context. What possible explanation can you give to assert that this hodgepodge of incongruent, out of context sound bites factually establishes significant lies by the Bush Admin? The audio portion contains short excerpts of President Bush & other senior Administration officials speaking about Iraq, focusing solely on WMD as the ONLY reason we removed Saddam from power. That in itself is a blatant distortion & intentionally misleading. The only thing credible the audio clearly establishes is that this site is into creating propaganda & a distorted reality. There is not one credible lie that can be gleaned from these cobbled together snippets that have been placed in such an order so as to intentionally distort reality. That is a fact. I seriously doubt you can find the actual transcripts of those speeches, etc., & show that what's portrayed on this site is accurate. I won't hold my breath waiting. Meanwhile, while the audio is playing, the video portion of this site shows a series of leading questions that states, "Remind us: Why did the government of the United States invade & destabilize Iraq?" "Remind us: Why did the Bush Administration send 150,000 husbands, wives, sons, daughters & friends to die in Iraq?" "Remind us: now that the reason for war has been revealed as a lie, what advice does George Bush have for the Iraqi people, increasingly frustrated, desperate & resentful of the "liberators" who invaded & trashed their country because of a lie?" That's just more icing on the cake proving my point. This site uses lies & intentional distortion to falsely claim the Bush Administration lied. They use the intentionally distorted & misleading audio as proof that, "the reason for war has been revealed as a lie". They falsely asserted that the US (the Coalition of the willing) "destabilized Iraq". They falsely claim the US "trashed" Iraq. They made spurious assertions that Iraqi's are, "increasingly frustrated, desperate & resentful of the "liberators"" <US/Coalition>. Simply put, this is another act of treachery by certain people from left wing purely for political gain. I would be ashamed of myself for spamming SI with such disreputable trash. Your misguided perception that it proves anything bad about the Bush Administration is incomprehensible.
