That's right bitch, year after year after year, so SUCK IT!
I am really really tired of the Mission Accomplished banner always coming up. Time to move on or get therapy people.
@ 2: is that really you, Tony Scalia?
Keep spinning, Dana. Keep spinning.
Not even remotely credible. What's most interesting isn't the lie, it's the audacity of telling such a pathetic lie. It's like a kid denying that he ate the cake when he's got frosting all over it.
Charles, There are probably many sighs regarding this, but I think you mean "sign".
264 days and counting.
There are a million stories is in the big city...and the White House will use them all...
I can't believe it took them 5 years to come up with that one.
They have a banner for a 10 month mission? Huh? Do they all get gold stars by their name too?
Eight years of Lying.
Almost 4100 dead.
Around 50,000 wounded.
And half a million Iraqis dead.
All for ... LIES.
How many more days of this incompetent batch of fools?
That man is a sorry excuse for a human being. There is a special place in hell being reserved right now. I know, cliche, but if the cliche fits...
WHSPILF
Jesus, you think they could just admit they were wrong. Certainly that'd be better than admitting to being utterly stupid liars.
Their defense should be that this was a while before they totally fucked up. It's before they sent Bremmer to Iraq and de-Bathification. That was really when the civil war started. And yet, Rove is at CNN and Kristol is at the NY Times.
@2, the same guys are trying to start a third war with Iran right now. How is their total ineptness and complete lack of interest in the people fighting wars not an issue anymore?
Just when I think it is impossible to become more cynical. This administration will stop at nothing. There is just no lie too obvious to attempt, no truth too evident to deny.
I almost laughed, and then I remembered more than a hundred thousand people died because of this jackass. Incredibly, incredibly pitiful. This is true, Orwellian, Soviet-style propaganda, the lies that are so transparent but that is not what matters. It is the numbing repetition of them, and the attempt to dissolve truth, to dissolve meaning.
Grant Cogswell @ 17,
That's the true horror that Orwell couldn't conceive of when he wrote 1984. It's not that the government would lie and become corrupted by power as governments sometimes do; it's that people don't even care enough to do anything about it and the media doesn't even have to bother making the lies and propaganda believable.
To the Bushbots and their supplicants, their words are not lies, they're differences of opinion. There is no truth and there are no facts anymore.
@17 and 18, agreed that we're living an Orwellian nightmare, and the complicity of the corporate media is really the key. Although having corps like AT&T help them eavesdrop and then having Congress grant them immunity or setting up a govt in Iraq that grants contractors such as Blackwater immunity is really the innovation that they've brought to facism. Maybe China will force into bankruptcy before we totally devolve into a fascist military dictatorship.
Original Andrew, it's not 'differences of opinion', it's 'partisan bickering'. Remember, they favor 'smaller government', except when it comes to military spending.
My then-boyfriend was one of the sailors on that ship when Bush gave the speech. He joked to me that it was Bush's people that hung that banner and the war was far from over. What bullshit.
