Dennis Prager was really talking up this story today. It’s some small consolation to have such a liberal newspaper finally put this in print. Anyone who still says Bush lied has no credibility whatsoever; none.
Thanks for the post!
Those are just the cutest little emoticons.
I say this without a hint of humor - it is too difficult for a liberal to use critical thinking skills, especially when it is so much easier for them to chant stupid slogans like Bush Lied, People Died.
Thanks.
I stole them fair and square from sionnsar...
You know what is funny? I have posted the following question on many forums when “discussing” this with a liberal(s):
“Since President Bush was using intelligence supplied by the agencies staffed by Clinton and quoting many Democrats in Congress at the time, does that mean that Clinton lied also? Oh yeah, I remember now. Clinton was disbarred and impeached for lying under oath.”
I have never received a comeback or response. Even when I goad them into trying to reply. They seem to vanish, at least on this point.
Bush said what he said. An experienced politician like John Kerry came out and claimed that Bush (that idiot) misled him. The smartest woman in the world, Hillary Clinton, said that Bush (that moron) misled her.
Who wasn't misled? Barack Obama. He stands alone. He was against the whole thing from the beginning, as a matter of principle. He may seem young and inexperienced, but he never claimed to have been misled by Bush. Obama is a statesman, and a keen judge of character.
The other subtext is that People with that last name of Romney as more easily misled than anyone else and make really, really bad vice presidential candidates.
This piece in the LA Times is simultaneously attacking McCain's possible choice for VP and boosting Obama as a wise statesman.
It’s in the opinion section.
When I see a similar story in the news section, I’ll count it as a change.
Don't take it as "consolation". Take it as an indication that the MSM is now pursuing another agenda.
Specifically, this smells like an effort to begin convincing their moonbat base that terrorists really do represent a risk to the US. And that, while Bush didn't lie to us, he screwed things up so badly that we'll have to stay in Iraq awhile longer.
They're not giving Bush a clean bill of health, not at all. Instead, they've now set about misleading their base in another direction.
It is odd that they would print a story like this, but it is especially strange that they would print it before the election. This is something I think they would normally wait until Obama was safely inagurated to release.
John Kerry came out and claimed that Bush (that idiot) misled him. The smartest woman in the world, Hillary Clinton, said that Bush (that moron) misled her.
Just a couple of the many morons in Congress that had access to research the issue, but, instead blame Bush for their own laziness.
"Ugh... Agh... Eh...."
I think I actually felt sorry for the guy.
This guy is an important New Republic staff member as well.
Impressive admission.
What amazes me is the news media barely even mentioned the report June 5.....I thought they would hammer it to McCain.
The Opinion section.
The perfect place for a trial balloon.
Uh, Too little to late.
The MSM has already damaged this country enough by selling out their own country for the instant gratification by selling out to the Soros/Moore coalition and their prevaricated talking points that they supplied to the enemies of the west.
.
And what has the LA Times been doing all these years to right the situation? Until today, NOTHING. If they knew all along this was the situation, then the LA Times was lying by omission. Guilty.
BTW, they weren't supposed to give away the liberal secret that mistakes equal lies.
Now let’s see if the L.A. Times apologizes to the American public..They say Pres. Bush was misled by the intelligence, so he did not lie to the public...Misled!...But the Times said he lied all these years..
Did we not all know that Sadam Hussein had gassed and killed 40,000 Kurds, that he sadistically tortured and killed his own people, and that he was a brutal dictator?...That was common knowledge, no one ‘misled’ the American public about that...But Pres. Bush also had information about WMD and to this day no one has proven that they did not have any WMD, so who is to say if he was misled?.....But that’s what the press used to skewer him on....By saying he was misled, the L.A. Times is obfuscating..
Rarely did the MSM say Yes, Hussein was another Hitler who deserved to be taken out...Dame right he was a dictator and the lousy MSM never went to Bush’s aid to defend him or thank him for taking out that bum...The MSM lied to the public, and covered up, and obfuscated all these years, so it is the MSM that should apologize to the American public...The L.A. Time’s duplicity is just one thing that is helping to kill the MSM in this country and i say GOOD...Go to blazes and take your filthy leftist ideas and journalists with you...
