Have the Dems learned yet? Will they EVER learn? Bush fooled 75 senators in Oct. 2002 when he said that Saddam had drones which could deliver WMD to the U.S. They believed him, so they voted for the war.
And for this they congratulate him on capturing Saddam. Or was it really the Kurds who got him weeks ago?
Believe NOTHING. Disbelieve EVERYTHING.
I defy all who support any BushCo domestic or foreign policy:
Name ONE event that BushCo has NOT lied or mislead about.
Name ONE BushCo policy decision which benefited people or the environment. Can you think of one?
Now, name some policies that benefited corporations. Can you think of 100, 500, 1000?
Now ask yourself: Why should we believe this administration is anything but a Fascist Neocon cabal?
Expect BushCo to steal the election if the sun comes up tommorrow..
Expect BushCo to lie about Iraq if the sun goes down tommorrow..
Tommorrow the sun will rise, so don't expect to hear about those 9/11 documents from Bush OR Kean OR Kerrey. In fact, don't expect to hear anything about 9/11.

White House Covers Tracks by Removing Information
In a high-tech cover-up, the Washington Post this morning reports the White House is actively scrubbing government websites clean of any of its own previous statements that have now proven to be untrue.1 Specifically, on April 23, 2003, the president sent his top international aid official on national television to reassure the public that the cost of war and reconstruction in Iraq would be modest. USAID Director Andrew Natsios, echoing other Administration officials, told Nightline that, "In terms of the American taxpayers contribution, <$1.7 billion> is it for the US. The American part of this will be $1.7 billion. We have no plans for any further-on funding for this."
The president has requested more than $166 billion in funding for the war and reconstruction efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan this year. But instead of admitting that he misled the nation about the cost of war, the president has allowed the State Department "to purge the comments by Natsios from the State Department's Web site. The transcript, and links to it, have vanished." (The link where the transcript existed until it caused embarrassment was
http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/nightline_042403_t.html).

This story is not the first time the President has tried to hide critical information from the American public. For instance, the president opposed the creation of the independent 9/11 investigative commission2, and has refused to provide the commission with critical information4, even under threat of subpoena5. Similarly, after making substantial budget cuts, the president ordered the government to stop publishing its regular report detailing those cuts to states6. And when confronted with a continuing unemployment crisis, the president ordered the Department of Labor to stop publishing its regular mass layoff report.
It is also not the first time the administration has sought to revise history and public records when those records become incriminating. As the Post reports "After the insurrection in Iraq proved more stubborn than expected, the White House edited the original headline on its Web site of President Bush's May 1 speech, "President Bush Announces Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended," to insert the word 'Major' before combat." And the "Justice Department recently redacted criticism of the department in a consultant's report that had been posted on its Web site."
