Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements?

Wow... how do you feel about THAT!?! lol.
War leads to no money, leads to foreign countries buying our debt. Everyone focusing on war and neglecting our own citizens, economy, financial structure, education... leads to recession, inflation, and lack of trust in the American government.
Some days I'm really embarrassed to live here.

Some will say he based his statements on incorrect intel...I say, sure...but 935 TIMES over 5 YEARS??? Nope, he lied!
Clinton did no longer use fake suggestion to invade yet another us of a like Bush did. How is $500-seven hundred Billion money spent on the conflict a reason to be unhappy approximately Bush's "mis-statements". look at our each year federal deficits, the greater then very almost 3-fold improve in our nationwide debt in view that Bush took place of work, the devaluing of the U. S. dollar and well-known downturn in our financial device now. a lot of those problems are related to our deficit spending and the turmoil led to interior the mid-east because of the incorrect conflict.
False and incorrect do not mean the same thing. They are implying something without saying it. Biased? Is this what you want to hear? What does "false statement" mean? Bill Clinton also said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Saddam was bluffing that he had them and Bush called his bluff. Hillary stood up in the Senate and said he had them. Foreign governments believed he had them. Nobody says Saddam made false statements.
First of all that nonprofit is run for and by democrats. Charles Lewis ,Arthur Schlesinger Jr,James McGregor Burn,James David Barber,Kathleen hall Jamieson,Theodore Hesburgh,Hodding Carter 3rd, Bill Kovach,Roberta Baskins and William E Buzenburg. That makes the report suspect to begin with. And if you do a little checking you will find they did not take into account the statements based on intelligence reports. And if you think that is fair then I want the counts on Bill and Hillary Clinton,Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi,John Kerry, Al Gore and numerous other democrats who reached the same conclusion using the intelligence reports.
I know what you mean starbux.......I am embarrassed that you live here too.
I read that earlier and it is, indeed, troubling in more ways than one. Grist for the mill.
It seems a bit like the age old fight between "good" and "evil."
The two camps continue the war and the soldiers die. I don't know, however, which is which. I do wonder if this is a form of "natural selection" and evolution. How many millions or billions of people have died or will yet die or are be maimed and suffer the misery. All but a few - the winners.
Yes I know and have tried and tried to tell people this long before now. I never agreed with the war from the start because I felt that something was not right about the whole thing.
So if he lied does it mean that I and many others have been right? That this is an Illegal war and its not a war at all but a invasion?
Does this mean that the USA illegally invaded another country for profit?
Yes, the special interest have made billions. We might not have to many troops over there but we have plenty of private contractors.
I have been ashamed for quite some time and appalled that he has not been impeached by now.
I am outraged over the conduct of Bush/Cheney and the whole republican grab fest, but not embarrassed to live in the USA. Embarrassment, however, might be in order if the voting population embraces the last 7 years by voting in a Bush look alike and every one of the Republican candidates except Ron Paul is now and, as the electiong grows closer will become bush look alikes.
Like my car says "I love my country, but fear my government". I am not shocked by this story. I am suprised, tho, that it took so long to make it to the media. I am sure they had this informaiton before, but the media is so totally controlled by the special intrest groups, that this informatin was not allowed to be reported until now. It is well timed though with the election. It makes the politicos who have been kissing GW's butt look really bad. Hillary sided with GW on the war....so this makes her look equally bad. Sad sad sad. But I can say with a smile... I did not vote for him
Write your legislative leadership seeking Articles of Impeachment for bush/cheney NOW!
*executive signing statements that allow the circumvention of various U.S. Laws.
* Misleading us about the Threat from Iraq
* Illegal Wiretapping of American Citizens
* Holding American Citizens without formal charges and without legal representation.
* Illegally using government funds for domestic political propaganda related to the administration's Medicare package.
* High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
As U.S. Citizens it is our solemn duty to initiate this act of justice. Our democracy depends on U.S. Citizens fulfilling our responsibility to protect the U.S. Constitution.
I'm sure most of us (not just yahoo land but all of us!) can agree that this action is way overdue. It is also absolutely necessary in order to check unfetter presidential power. Tipping the scale and destroying the fragile balance of power that has kept this nation strong, vibrant, and viable.
Write to your congressional representative, demand this action!
IMPEACH bush/cheney NOW!!!
This sort of proves the old saying..."be careful what you wish for...you may just get it"...right? Oh so many people wanted Bush as president and see where we are. Sorta makes you wish for a good old fashioned Clinton sex scandal doesn't it?
