A Relatively Quiet Weekend

There hasn't been too many of these recently thanks to the White House's excessive use of the Friday News Dump but this weekend rolled by without a new scandal to uncover. So that appears to make this one of a handful of weekends in the past 6 years to go in that direction.

I did find two interesting tidbits of information I wanted to share.

President Bush has pretty much rattled off every lie he can muster as to why Iraq was the right idea. He connected Iraq to al-Qaeda (see below for the truth on that), said they were close to having Nukes after buying yellow cake from Niger, used 9/11, random weapons of mass destruction, Iraqi freedom and democracy, defending them against Iranian intervention. You name it, this crew of liars has used it. Even sickeningly enough the real reason why we're there: Oil.

But after most if not all of these were disproven and failed to capture public sentiment the one he continues to spout is that if we don't kill them there, they'll cross the ocean and kill us here.

Now even THAT has been dismissed by experts.

Bush and his liars just can't catch a break can they?

The experts don't just dismiss it, they accuse Bush of exaggerating. He doesn't do that does he? Oh wait....

As if that weren't enough Iraq's former trade defense and finance minister Ali Allawi, cousin to the former interim prime minister Iyad Allwai, has written a book ripping Bush for their incompetent occupation of his country.

When the people you helped put in place and are some of the very, very few to gain anything from the Iraq mess come out of the woodwork to attack you, you know it's time to get out.

Hell, even 52% of REPUBLICANS say we need to get out of Iraq. The Kool-Aid Drinking die hards have abandoned the cause.

Oh this is Bush. He's not smart enough to get the hint.
