Eff You

I guess I should not be surprised when a douchebag like Scott Mclellan writes a tell all book about Bush lying to sell the war when in essence the only thing Republicans like this guy believe in are self-preservation and profit.

Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a new memoir that President Bush relied on an aggressive "political propaganda campaign" instead of the truth to sell the Iraq war, it has been reported.

The Bush White House made "a decision to turn away from candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed," a time when the nation was on the brink of war, McClellan writes.

The way Bush managed the Iraq issue "almost guaranteed that the use of force would become the only feasible option," McClellan writes, according to accounts Wednesday in The New York Times and Washington Post.

It's not surprising to me the goose-steppers don't really care to change direction when information like this is brought to the table. Like their leaders, the minions are no different, so if lying in their favor is what it takes to get a little more tax cut here, a few more minorities in prison or on the run, so be it.

Either way, whether Mclellan or O'Neil or Bremer or any other douche who worked for these clowns is lying now, they're definitely liars at some point.

They can all thank God they have church to goto where they can wipe these sins away. After all, that's the reason they believe in the first place.

This is great:

Bush "convinces himself to believe what suits his needs at the moment," McClellan writes.

He also faults Bush for a "lack of inquisitiveness."

Nice euphemism.

Good Effort

When you're still trying to sell the war as legitimate 5 years after it began, it's probably not.

"America has assumed this obligation before," Bush said in prepared remarks released by the White House. "After World War II we helped Germany and Japan build free societies and strong economies. These efforts took time and patience, and as a result Germany and Japan grew in freedom and prosperity and are now allies of the United States."

The result, Bush says, was "generations of security and peace" in the United States.

"Today we must do the same in Afghanistan and Iraq," he says in the prepared comments. "And by helping these young democracies grow in freedom and prosperity we will once again reap the benefits in generations of security and peace."

Democracies.

Good one.

The Unknown

Bush laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns today in honor of those soldiers who have given their lives to this war, and others.

If there's one thing we do know about the "unknown" tomb is that it could never have been Bush himself since when you pretend to be a soldier you can't actually be killed in a war. You actually have to serve, which of course, he didn't.
