Dubya's most disgusting, outrageous lie in today's conference with Bliar
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 09:58 PM by Julius Civitatus
Never mind the LIAR said he and Blair were only looking for "peaceful ways to deal with Saddam."

Never mind that the LIAR said "both of us didn't want to use our military. It was our last option."

The mendacious LIAR said the following, even though we all know he has not attended a single funeral for soldiers fallen in Iraq:


Nobody wants to commit military into combat. That's the last option. The consequences of committing the military are very difficult. You know, one of the hardest things I do as the president is to try to comfort families who've lost a loved one in combat.



It's not the first time he said this thing, and the f*cking media never called on him on his lie. Not only he sent hundreds of young soldiers to their deaths for Halliburton's profits, then he goes around bragging that he does a lot of "comforting of their families" when he IS NOT.

Low. Very, very low.

Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 09:58 PM by zidzi
IT'S THE MEDIA STUPID!

If Clinton had said that and had not attended any funerals..would not the press been all over it?

They don't scrutinize bush's words the way they do Dean's.

So what are we as the opposition.. that's getting royally screwed, going to do about it?

3. Neither * not the puppet master cheney have attended one American military
funeral. This is the first time a sitting president, a "war time" president has not attended one funeral of an fallen American soldier.

Cowards. The blood is dripping all over these murderers.

5. I heard Randi play that - he sounded so much like a liar, stumbling
rambling - and when he was done, he hadn't said a thing to refute it

they both said it took place before we went to the UN, and then started talking about the UN "effort."

The damned UN inspectors had to LEAVE Iraq so rummy and faux news viewers could start their shock and awe parties - bombs away, 9*11 comes to Baghdad.

I heard him say what you quoted too.

a mass murdering imposter twisting and turning, lying and smirking his way out, or trying to.

6. America does not Function Based On Truth
America functions on lies and where there is no Truth there can be no justice and freedom.

There is nothing in creation greater than Truth. Truth is Supreme.

8. It is true, it is hard, so hard he's never done it.
He didn't lie. He just led us to believe he did something he didn't actually say he did. Low. Very, very low indeed. If my family loses a loved one in one of his combats, he will never ever ever be able to comfort me and had better not even try.

9. It's all quite absurd
He hasn't delivered one ounce of comfort to the American people. First he lowered the taxes on the rich thereby driving the deficit ever higher, he then sat there as 9/11 unfolded and then he "ran for safety" afterwards, he raised fear, fear, and more fear as he bombed Afghanistan, then Iraq, after telling all the lies he could muster to the people, and now he says he has a hard time comforting the families of the soldiers who have died because of his decisions?

What an absurd turd! You would think that a person of his position would show a modicum of morality and get down on his hands and knees to beg forgiveness from America. But no, he continues his lies and deceit, and follows that up by saying he has a hard time bringing comfort to his victims.

Absurd!

10. let's be scrupulous
He HAS met with family members on occasions when he's in town campaign or fundraising. I've seen references to these events regularly. Here's part of one story -- there's plenty to whack him about, but he's at least telling a partial truth here. Google for "bush comfort families" and you'll find some of the stories.

<i>LAKELAND - The room was filled with the families of fallen servicemen.
President Bush had asked to meet with them, knowing that some may condemn him for the decisions he has made.

What followed was an hour and half of tears, hugs, intense listening and healing words. That was the scene described Thursday by family members who met Bush the day before at a MacDill Air Force Base conference room.

After entering and making a brief introduction - that he wanted to cry and laugh and hug and get to know their loved ones - Bush worked his way around the room, spending 10 to 15 minutes with each family.

For Donna Ginther, wife of Navy Petty Officer Ron Ginther, who was killed by mortar fire May 2 in Iraq, Bush had words of encouragement after she expressed fears of raising her 9-year-old daughter alone.

``He put his forehead to my forehead and was like, `Look at me,' and I was looking in his eyes, and I'm just crying, and he says, `You're going to do it. You're going to do it, and you have all of us here to help you,' '' said Donna Ginther, of Auburndale.

Rachel Ascione, sister of Marine Lance Cpl. Ronald Payne Jr., who died in Afghanistan, wept as Bush spoke to thefamily. Bush ``had his arm around my daughter the entire time,'' said her mother, Aileen Payne, who helped raise Ron after marrying Ron's father, Ronnie Payne, of Lakeland.

``He made you feel like he was your older brother, instead of the president,'' Ronnie Payne said. ``I was very honored to know that he wanted to come convey his condolences to us personally. It meant so much to my family.''

``Rachel told me, `Today, he became my president. When he shared in my grief and told me that my brother was important,' '' Aileen Payne said. ``The whole time that we spoke with him, it was just like you're talking to your friend.

``It wasn't until he walked away that it hit me - he was the president. Our son gave us the opportunity to meet him,'' she said. Although there was intense sadness at Ron's death, mixed with pride, ``I just felt like that was Ron's gift to us - that we were able to do that.'' </i>

12. There is a reason that Cuckoo Banana's doesn't attend funerals
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 10:52 PM by four more wars
There is a greater than 50% chance the grieving parents are going to call him on his failures, his unjust war, and shout him down in front of the nations media.

His 'Handlers' know that the web of lies he spins is thin, do you really think they are willing to bet that the family of a young man who gave his life to enrich monkey-boys oil rich friends will keep quiet and pass the Kool-aid?

Can you imagine the PR disaster it would be if he was being screamed at by a distraught mother, shouting 'Fascist, lying, murdering, SOB'?

No matter how well vetted the family was there remains a strong possibility that they were concealing there true feelings in order to get a televised moment in front of him to express there true feelings.

Witness Tony Blair's election at Sedgefield constituency recently in the UK. The father of a young man who died in Iraq ran against Tony Blair, and Blair had to stand on the platform and listen to the soldiers father call him a liar and a murderer in front of the nations media.

In the UK that is still allowed, in the states there is no way that would ever be permitted by Rove and co.

14. I want Bush under oath!
Which reminds me, why did he refuse to testify under oath at the 911 commission - unless he was PLANNING to lie?

15. You'd think anything he says is already "under oath"...
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 11:37 PM by DisassemblingHisLies
He was sworn in with his hand on the Bible on inauguration day.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully (worthy of trust or belief) execute the Office of President of the United States, and will try to the best of my ability, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution (he's failed to do this repeatedly) of the United States."
