Bush fails Iraq report card.
The Center for Public Integrity came out with its “War Card“, a report on how many times Bush and his administration gave false statements to the public. Their count is at least 935!
President George W. Bush and seven of his administration’s top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Nearly five years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, an exhaustive examination of the record shows that the statements were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.
The center points out key false statements made by officials and point out why they are wrong. I am disappointed in our administration, the least they could have done is gotten an even 1000. But you know our President, always underachieving.
I may post more on this later. However, the site needs to be forwarded to as many people as possible so I thought it best to provide the link now.
