At least… (drum roll)… 935.
Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq’s links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell’s 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.
Let’s take a second and really grasp that number. They didn’t do it once. They didn’t do it twice. Bush and his people said false things that started a war at least
times.
So now, after almost half a trillion dollars down the hole…
and somewhere between at least 80,000 and quite possibly up to 1,220,580 violent deaths later…
… with no end remotely in sight, and still Bush gunning for a new war, despite his own administration’s comprehensive National Intelligence Estimate…
… I find I must confess that after several minutes of thinking, I have no bloody clue how to end this post on an optimistic, inspiring, or remotely useful note. But there it is.
