In a similarly dishonest vein, on Hannity yesterday Rangel tried to argue that no one was advocating an IMMEDIATE withdrawal. Course to him Immediate means next week and what he envisions is taking like a couple of months to make sure everyone gets out safe.

Cohen can play all the games he wants with what politician said what when. There are about 7,130,000 for "bush lied" on Google at the moment. It's been the major thrust of the party for the last year. The counterattack has got them squealing.

Congress members and the DNC Chairman aren't coming right out using the "L" word, but is that really a fair way to judge the implication of their words? >>Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says, "I think the president has not told the truth to the American people. I think his administration is full of scandals." << kvoa.com >>Kerry also asserted that Bush did not rely on faulty intelligence before the war, "as Democrats did," but waged "a concerted campaign to twist the intelligence to justify a war (he) had already decided to fight." And, said Kerry, "How are the same Republicans who tried to impeach a president over whether he misled a nation about an affair going to pretend it does not matter if the administration intentionally misled the country into war?" So, here we have the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate using the I-word in an attack on Bush, albeit indirectly. The idea has been floated previously by some House liberals. Last month, Congressional Quarterly reported that Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said it "would be an impeachable offense" if evidence proved that Bush or Vice President Cheney authorized aides to mislead lawmakers. In June, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, held a mock impeachment inquiry based on the "Downing Street memo" that claimed Bush had decided to go to war even as he was saying that Hussein could still come into compliance with United Nations resolutions. Kerry repeated that allegation in the course of charging that "the war in Iraq was and remains one of the great acts of misleading and deception in American history." Newspapers also have quoted Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., as saying that "this administration has committed more impeachable offenses than any other government in history" and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., as saying that "lying to the Congress about a large public purpose such as Iraq" fit the constitutional test of "high crimes and misdemeanors" better than lying about sex, the offense that led Republicans to impeach former President Bill Clinton.<< pasadenastarnews.com
