So of course, Bush addresses yet another friendly, hand-picked crowd of soliders, and uses his speech to attack his critics, accusing them of being “deeply irresponsible” for making accusations that he misled the country into war.
Same old Nixon-era shit: criticism “sends the wrong signal both to America’s enemy” and “demoralizes the troops.”
He’s even ballsier, claiming that critics are “making false charges” about the Administration.
Well, that’s all well and good.
Except for this little snippet, tucked away on the CNN site: CIA report questioned al Qaeda-Iraq ties

This, the Downing Street Memo……How much more proof do we fucking need?
You know what I love about the entire incident?
That the bastard used the day that is supposed to honor fucking Veterans to attempt to divert attention, excruciatingly poorly I might add, from the fact that they are only fighting and dying because he fucking lied…repeatedly.
What a brazen fucking weasel.
D.
But didn’t you know, repeating something often and loud enough makes it true!
