Begala just RIPPED Cheney/Bush on phony terrorism myth.
About time. Dems must fight back hard...

Cheney never met with his own terrorism task force.

Bush/Cheney/Rice ignored Hart/Rudman Commission.

9/11 happened on Bush's watch.

win or lose, the dems must do this repeatedly.

1. Good thoughts
There is no win or lose. Bu$h is a failure and a coward... it is a win/win situation.

5. Suh-weet!
Just state the facts -- clearly, forcefully and repeatedly. That's all we need to do.

13. yes, the first time i saw this man was during the a-g torture hearings
it was towards the end of the long day and most people had left and it was this guys turn

lets just say he used his time very effectively.... and laid some quiet but devastating words on rumsfeld

he told him to look deep inside and perhaps make the tough decision (to resign)

10. Begala's screwing up; Kerry was never for the war
Peter King, as all the Republicans do these days, keeps saying that he was all for the war, and now has changed. He was FOR giving the President the authority to negotiate in good faith with this threat of war as a bargaining chip. Yes, he gave the President the authority to go to war as a last resort, but he never said "go ahead and do it", and he wanted it as only the last option.

Junior doesn't get this, and that's the really ugly part: he thinks he was given a blank check to go on his greedfest. He doesn't know the difference. It wasn't some "sure Prez, I'll hold your coat while you kill 'em", and portraying it as such shows that Bush never had any sincerity about negotiating; his plan all along was to attack, and the load of horseshit fed to us about diplomacy was nothing but that.

Hussein was complying with the inspections. Bush lied in his acceptance speech by saying that he hadn't.

Bush used insincere promises to get the authority he couldn't get by being honest. If he had gone to Congress asking for war, he wouldn't have been given it.

Bush also didn't limit the war powers to Iraq; that was done by tenacious legislators. Bush is nothing but a flim-flam artist, which is much worse than flip-flopping; any orphan will tell you that.
