Mutnik ...

Ann Coulter .. not only Said those things .. she MEANT them .. and Yes .. they're in her book ..

As for Clintons "National TV" appearance ...

If you're trying to equate Clintons lie of not having Sexual Relations with "that woman" .. versus Bush's insistance that Iraq was on the brink of having a Nuclear program .. and that his Known Stockpiles of WMD were an IMMIDIATE THREAT to world security ... PALEASE!!!

The comparison of the Two lies is sick and laughable ...

Clinton lied to save face with his Wife .. and got ensnared by not admitting Adultry ...

Bush knowingly contrived Excuses ( er.. lies ..) to Bullrush the Country into War .. which has to date ended up costing THOUSANDS of lives and BILLIONS of dollars ..

Gosh .. they sure seem equal ... huh??????

Not only were the WMD contentions False and contrived ... the Political outing of Valarie Plame Futher deepened the morass of lies with a COVERUP ...

Your assertions to the latter are weak in the face of overwhelming Evidence ..

It appears you're far more comfortable with YOUR percieved version of the Truth .. Rather Than what Actually has happened ... Conservatives seem far happier trying to Rewrite history instead of owning up to their errors ..

Perhaps it's Easier than facing the Truth ...

^^^^^Even though I don't like him and somewhat agree with you, I have disagree with your opinion being 'truth'

for it is not truth...it is just your and so many others opinion on the matter at hand...

but it is not truth.

there is a fine line between the two, and the opinions that you have made have not crossed that line.

Bush Raises Threshold for Firing Aides In Leak Probe

By Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, July 19, 2005; Page A01

President Bush said yesterday that he will fire anyone in the administration found to have committed a crime in the leaking of a CIA operative's name, creating a higher threshold than he did one year ago for holding aides accountable in the unmasking of Valerie Plame.

After originally saying anyone involved in leaking the name of the covert CIA operative would be fired, Bush told reporters: "If somebody committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Listen to President Bush in December 2001 explaining publicly how he learned about the terrorist attacks three months before: "I was in Florida. And ... I was sitting outside [an elementary school] classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was obviously on, and I used to fly myself, and I said, 'There's one terrible pilot.'"

This account is obviously false since network cameras were not trained on the towers at the time the first airliner hit; it was only later that amateur video of this event was broadcast.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



By Timothy Noah
Posted Monday, June 2, 2003, at 5:15 PM ET

On April 26, President Bush said in his weekly radio address, "My jobs and growth plan would reduce tax rates for everyone who pays income tax."

That turned out not to be true. According to the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an unspecified number of low- and middle-income families received no tax cut at all because they'd been excluded from an expansion of the child-care tax credit.
That turned out not to be true. Researchers at the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center found 8.1 million tax filers would receive no tax cuts.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


"[Castro] welcomes sex tourism," Bush told a room of law enforcement officials in Florida, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Here's how he bragged about the industry," Bush said. "This is his quote: 'Cuba has the cleanest and most educated prostitutes in the world.'"

"As it turns out, Bush had lifted that quotation not from an actual Castro speech but rather from a 2001 essay written by then Dartmouth University undergraduate Charles Trumbull. In the essay, Trumbull did appear to quote a Castro speech about prostitution. Sadly, the student made the quotation up.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"45 percent of all of the dividend income goes to people with $50,000-or-less incomes, family incomes. Nearly three-quarters of it goes to families with $100,000 or less family income."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Bush's statements, in chronological order, were:

United Nations Address
September 12, 2002

"Iraq has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons, and is rebuilding the facilities used to make more of those weapons."

"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have."

Radio Address
October 5, 2002

"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons."

"We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."

"We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States."

"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his "nuclear mujahideen" - his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons."

Cincinnati, Ohio Speech
October 7, 2002

"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."

State of the Union Address
January 28, 2003


Misstatements are typically corrected rapidly if they are later found to be false. And in this case, far from backpedaling from the President's more extreme claims, Bush's press secretary, Ari Fleischer had actually, at times, been even more emphatic than the President had. For example, on January 9, 2003, Fleischer stated, during his press briefing, "We know for a fact that there are weapons there."

In addition, others in the Administration were similarly quick to back the President up, in some cases with even more unequivocal statements. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld repeatedly claimed that Saddam had WMDs - and even went so far as to claim he knew "where they are; they're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad."

you know, When President Bush does something, it doesn't make it illegal....

Off Topic: Did you hear that he told the US suprem Court to take a flying leap in taking people's homes in that whatsitsbutt bill or whatever...I forget what it was called, but the US Supream Court could actually make a law saying that a Town...or County....I don't remember, could actually take a persons piece of land, against their permission, and rebuild on it....

Now, even if you dislike him, you have to admire him for that.

GEORGE W. BUSH 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington , DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

LAW ENFORCEMENT

I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine , in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY

I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam

COLLEGE

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE

I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland , Texas , in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas . The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry, including Enron CEO Ken Lay, I was elected governor of Texas .

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union .

During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution.

More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip- offs in history.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.

I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.

I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S . "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families-in-wartime.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES

All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for publi c review. I am a member of the Republican Party.


PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN THE 2006 MIDTERM ELECTIONS. PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY VOTER YOU KNOW.

without a warrant signed by a judge who was convinced there was reasonable cause to suspect the law was broken or in the process of being broken, it's illegal; a violation of the US constitution.

"its called eminent domain,and its supposed to be only used to take land for development for public use,like roads and highways or hospitals"

Was supposed to be only for public use.


"Over the years the definition of "public use" has expanded to include economic development plans which use eminent domain seizures to enable commercial development for the purpose of improving the community. [1] Critics contend this perverts the intent of eminent domain law and damages personal property rights"-wikipedia

there was NO lies to get into war


The Bush government said there were WMDs, and they knew exactly where the WMDs were. The WMDs weren't there (the fact that they don't exist might have had something to do with that). Thus, they lied.


who also stated what he said and looked at the SAME evidence he had and SUPPORTED going to war!


Actually, they didn't look at the same evidence he had. They looked at the evidence he presented to them.


man,some people will beleive almsot anything

Mutnick ...

Hey .. you're entitled to your opinions ... Peace ...

But it's getting Harder and harder to support your positions .. The Bi Partisan Presidential Commission on 9-11 ... completely undercut Bush in regards to Iraqi involevement with 9-11 .. saying that it was FALSE ...

The "intel" contending that Nuclear materials and componets intended for Iraq were coming out of Niger ... those were complete Fabrications .. and quickly discredited ...

And yet .. President Bush .. Used that threat as a call for Support during his State of the Union Address ...

The weapons inspectors kept asking for MORE TIME to complete their investigations .. but Bush Ignored their requests .. by stating that WE KNOW HE HAS WMD .. WE KNOW THE LOCATIONS .. WE HAVE EVIDENCE ...

By definition ... that "IS" a Lie ...

As soon as the facts became clear that there were No WMD to be found ... Suddenly the Admn was singing another tune ..

Oh my!!! Women in Burkas .. Iraqi's right to Vote ... Free Elections ... ( unlike ours .. sigh ..) etc ..

Meanwhile .. THOUSANDS of young men and women have died .. BILLIONS of US Taxpayers money has been spent ... and were are NO CLOSER to finding OSAM BIN LADEN .. the actual mastermind of 9-11 ..

Remember him????? The REASON we went to Afghanistan?

Ohhhhhhhh Noooooooo ... Not him!!! Saddams the man ...

Never mind he had NOTHING to do with 9-11 ..

The LIES started from the Beginning ... and has somehow morphed into some sort of Western Jihad ... Lies upon top of lies .. Lies to cover up lies ..

Of course .. this ALL my opinion ... but since most has already been shown to be Fact .. and the timelines match .. it's a pretty good bet ..

I'm right ...
