Ari says: "Revisionist notion" is "Bunch of Bull"
Ari "see ya" Fleischer:

"This revisionist notion that somehow this is now the core of why we went to war, a central issue of why we went to war, a fundamental underpinning of the president's decisions, is a bunch of bull."

What an a-hole.

1. Well, Ari, that's all we heard
All we heard about was the tons of weapons available at a moments notice.

The assholes at the WH are changing the story, not us.

5. The funniest part...
The revisionist history ploy used by Condi, Chimp and Ari is made more funny by their constant lies and shifting stories about the validity of the information, where it came from, and whether it should have been in the SOTU.

Never have I been so sickened by an administration....

2. If it wasn't a fundamental underpinning, Ari
Why did this administration rely so heavily on it to present its case for the Iraq invasion? From Condi "mushroom cloud" Rice to Donald "reconstituted nuclear weapons" Rumsfeld to the Dim Son himself, it seemed like everyone in this corrupt administration was using the spectre of nuclear weapons in Saddam's hands as justification for Lil George's Excellent Oil Grab.

Your nose grows longer day by day, Ari.

3. sorry, Ari, but you are pulling a Clinton...
Of course WMDs were not the reason why Bush invaded Iraq. If you had been reading DU over the past year you would know that we know that. However, you and Bush tried to convince us that Iraq was on the verge of launching intercontinental ballistic model airplanes loaded with microbes and nuclear explosives into the USA. Remember?

Of course, DUers knew that was "bull" and said so for months before and during the Bush war of aggression. The invasion took place because Bush decided it would be a fun way to get lots of oil, avenge Poppy and scare the bejezus out of the Arabs and the American voters. Those were the "core" of his decision.

12. NOT a "Clinton"
BC only went to these extremes when he was asked about subjects that were not the peoples' business.

6. Rice says "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud"
over a US city. Nope, they didn't use the nuke threat to sell the war at all. Keep moving, nothing to see here. Aholes!!!

8. Of course Bush didn't believe his own lies
Even he's not that stupid. He just counts on Americans to be stupid
enough to swallow them.

10. Note the comment by Democrat Evan Bayh -
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., a member of the Intelligence Committee, said Monday, "I don't think this was an intentional falsehood, but we have to get to the bottom of how this happened to make sure it never happens again." Bayh appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America." ...
