Dear Mr Prez

[ewagner]

Dear Mr. President:


I am writing to inform you that I will not be attending your State of the Union Speech tonight. I had intended to tell you that I have other commitments for the evening, but out of respect for the office, I will not lie.

The truth is, Mr. President, I just don’t trust you.

Faithfully, as a good American citizen, I watched your speech from beginning to end last year. Although I had many doubts about the dangers presented by Saddam Hussein expressed in the address, I was willing to give you the benefit of a doubt. (after all, I certainly don’t get CIA or FBI briefings like you do.) But as it turns out, everything you said in that speech was, well, a lie. We know that now. We know ther were no WMDs in the quantities you claimed. We know there was no “yellowcake” from Niger. We know there was no link between Saddam and Osama.

Let me help you out a little bit on a parable you seem have a little trouble with:

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

That, Sir, in a nutshell is why I’m not attending your speech tonight.

Sincerely,

A. Taxpayer

3. You gotta be kidding.

Even #1 boy David Kay now admits that there aren't any and the inspection teams are being pulled out.

on edit: Even the Whitehouse now admits that the "yellowcake" business should have never found its way into the speech.

4. Stay out of the Bushes!!!!!!!

Yeah, and Colin Powell himself admitted that there were no links between Osama and Suddam!

5. we "know" it

because we know that the "yellowcake" was a lie & because the Saddam/Al Qaeda link was a lie. Maybe you should tell Bush and Powell about those training camps, becuse when pressed on the issue even they admit there was no link to Al Qaeda.

When Bush mentioned the amounts of unaccounted for WMDs he used figures obtain from Kamel Hussien, who at the same time told them that those stockpiles had been destroyed following the Gulf War. If that source was good enough to use for the amounts of WMDs surely it was a good enough source to say that the weapons were destroyed. But no they picked what they thought sounded good and left out anything that didn't. It was enough to fool some people, but not good enough to fool anyone who had been paying attention.

The fact is your president is a LIAR.
