Let's Talk About YOUR Lies, Rummy!
Advertisements [?]
"Clearly, the United States government has not gotten to the point where we are as deft and clever and facile as the enemy that is perfectly capable of lying, having it printed all over the world, and there's no penalty for having lied," Rumsfeld said at an afternoon news conference at the Pentagon. "Indeed, there was a reward (for the enemy) because a great many people read the lie and believed it."

Ok, Rummy, since you took it there, I'll play along. Let's talk about lying. Sure, "the enemy" tends to lie (that's if you and Bush Co. even know who our real enemy is).

But I want to talk a minute about your lies. And the lies of the Bush Crime Team overall.

Let's talk about the fact that before the Iraq war, you said "we know" where the weapons are. Really? You mind explaining to me why they never materialized, then? Because I'm curious.

Your boss said just last week, that he never really wanted to go to war. He said no President wants war. But Bill Cohen, a Republican who served as Defense Secretary under President Bill Clinton, told Chris Matthews that right after the Supreme Court decided the 2000 election, he received a call from Dick Cheney.

And Cheney apparently told Cohen he only wanted a briefing on Iraq. The incoming Vice President of the United States said he didn't want to know anything else--he just wanted the scoop on Iraq.

Let's also talk about your lie, Rummy, that we would be "greeted as liberators." Sorry, that's a lie! We were not greeted as liberators. The Iraqi people, the very people we claimed to have loved and wanted to liberate, view us as occupiers.

So Rummy, before you go pontificating on the lies of the enemy, maybe you want to try a little bit of course correction, and set your own record straight.

Just a suggestion!
