Do you have proof of those allegations?

The denial followed by two of the lies...a) members of the bush administration told us that it would be quick b) members of the bush administration told us that iraqi oil would pay for the war... I think everyone thought it would be quicker than it was. So, mistakes were made. Show me a war where one wasn't. Imagine had things turned out differently and Doug MacArther didn't HAVE to retreat and "return" later! I'm sure that would have been his preference. But the idea of war is to spoil the other guy's plans. It is ridiculous to say it is a "lie" because it took longer than expected. And I'm not aware of anyone ever having claimed the oil revenue would pay for it. It might have been put forth as a proposal, but it wasn't sold to the American people that way. For you to to call these lies is just more disingenuous talk, which is pretty much what you do.

Those are lies alright, but not Bush lies. You were probably too aghast to notice what Bush was saying because of the "Mission Accomplished" sign, but during that speech he said the war had just started and would take a very long time to complete. No one but the liberial media said that Iraqi oil would pay for the war, Bush had always maintained it was Iraq's oil and would go to rebuilding their country, not our war expenditures.

Hey Al, remember a while ago when I claimed that Colin Powell isn't a conservative anymore? Here's the proof: > "The Republican Party is in deep trouble," Powell told corporate security executives at a conference in Washington sponsored by Fortify Software Inc. The party must realize that the country has changed, he said. "Americans do want to pay taxes for services," he said. "Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less." nationaljournal.com And here's the reality: 52% Worry Government Will Do Too Much to Fix Economy rasmussenreports.com See if that contrast gets reported in the mainstream media.
