Bush caught lying again, press ignores it - again
White House Alters Webpages About Iraq Combat


What they said on May 1, when the cock o' the walk was strutting his package on the Lincoln:




Then the war blew up in their faces, and they said "We never said what we said."



When the White House published the text of and photos from Bush's speech announcing the supposed end of the Iraq attack, the headline read: "President Bush Announces Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended."

But on Tuesday, 19 Aug 2003, the Cursor website noticed that the headline had been changed to read: "President Bush Announces Major Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended."

The word "major" had been added to protect his lying ass.

3. You're right

in his speech he did declare "major" combat operations over. Apparently the WH web page said something slightly different and then changed it recently. It's not a big lie. Not even a lie at all really. There have been tons of much bigger lies than this.

5. Still...

Covering their asses and manipulating truth (and the attempt to manipulate minds) are too much a part of the Republican agenda. There is no rationalization or justification too great for the airheads to embrace. Sadly, they have no shame. Recall during the debates how whistle-ass gloated about the execution of prisoners in Texass. Now he says "Bring 'em on." Psychologists have a definition of this kind of person: antisocial personality disorder. He has no shame because he has no conscience. Anything can be explained and justified. Even wanton destruction of a nation and it's civilians out of revenge and desire to control their resources.

4. I think all here are beginning to understand why

tanks, APC's, and troops rush to defend
or take over TVstations in coups.

I'll believe the US is on some kind of sane
path only when I see CNN anchors being
replaced live or CNN goes blank and
comes back on with different anchors.

PS-And immediately say that our environment
has been under attack-say good things about ELF
and bad things about multinational corps.
