WASHINGTON -- Ratcheting up his criticism of the war in Iraq, Senator Edward M. Kennedy accuses the Bush administration of telling "lie after lie after lie" to defend its policy in a fiery speech prepared for delivery today on the Senate floor.

"The trumped up reasons for going to war have collapsed," Kennedy says in a speech that underscores his opposition to President Bush's request for $87 billion to fund military operations and rebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan. An advance copy of the speech was obtained by the Globe.

"The administration still refuses to face the truth or tell the truth," Kennedy says, accusing the White House of misleading the public about every aspect of the war, from the financial costs to the motivation and the aftermath. "Instead the White House responds by covering up its failures and trying to sell its rosy version of events by repeating it with maximum frequency and volume, and minimum regard for realities on the ground."

1. There, ..see? That wasn't so hard ...L-I-E. Repeat after me: LIE!

Ok fellow Democrats in Congress, and you piffeling fraidy cats in the media, repeat after Senator Kennedy, L-I-E! The bastards lied, and every time they open their goddamn mouths, they lie some more!

Between the 60 Minute II report last night, Ted Koppel on Nightline, and today, Sen. Kennedy, the word LIE, has now been used extensively with regard to the Bush regime. There, see? That wasn't so hard now, was it?

Everytime anyone talks about this mis-administration from now on, it must be done so the word L-I-E is a part of the conversation. Every time.
