Report Cooked Up By Senate Democrats Accuses The Bush Adminstration Of Lying About Iraq
Which is not just a bogus accusation because Bush didn’t lie, but also because it accuses him of making a claim he never said.
The report repeats the oft-repeated-by-liberals lie about Bush saying Saddam Hussein’s regime was partly responsible for 9/11. The problem, of course, is that neither Bush nor anyone else associated in an official capacity with his administration made any such claim. Bush and his people said that Saddam Hussein had communications and/or operation links to terrorists who were responsible for 9/11, but never once has anyone in the Bush administration asserted that Saddam played a part in the 9/11 plot itself.
This is an important distinction, though one lost on the legions of liberals who take it as an article of faith that Bush lied us into war in Iraq.
They also can’t tell the difference between “lying” and “relying on faulty intelligence.”
But here’s a serious question for liberals who insist on re-hashing the case for war even as we watch our troops surging toward victory in the war five years after the invasion: What point is there in continuing to debate the invasion?
We’ve long since invaded Iraq. President Bush is not, nor can he ever again, run for re-election to the White House. So then, the question before us is not “Should we have invaded Iraq?” The question before us now is “Do we abandon the Iraqis we promised to help?”
And I think the answer to that question for anyone with a shred of honor is “No.”
