Even with Earpiece, Bush Can't Defend Himself Against Impeachment

Even with Earpiece, Bush Can't Defend Himself Against Impeachment

Once again, George Bush went before the world without a single idea in his head, just an earpiece in his ear feeding canned answers from Karl Rove. And once again, the press acted completely oblivious to the farce in their faces. When the truth about Bush's earpiece comes out, the entire corporate media will collapse with the Bush administration and the GOP.

Now on to the "substance" of the press conference.

Helen Thomas hit Bush right between the eyes with the question Bush cannot answer: why the hell are we in Iraq, wasting thousands of American lives and trillions of America's taxpayer dollars?

Thomas pointed out that every reason Bush gave for the war turned out to be lies. She also pointed out that Cabinet officials like Paul O'Neill said Bush wanted to invade Iraq from the day he stole the White House.

Bush replied with his Biggest Lie: that Saddam refused to allow UN inspectors into Iraq, and refused to disclose all of his government's records on WMD's.

I have blogged about this Big Lie repeatedly, but the Corporate Media - and most of the progressive blogosphere - refuses to discuss it. It's time for the silence to end. It's time to start screaming about Bush's Big Lie.

weapons inspectors into Iraq and I've wondered if anyone told Bush that they had to leave Iraq so he could start his invasion. He seems oblivious to the fact that they were there, with apparent open access to any site they wanted to inspect, and had to get out because of Bush.

Not that it mattered.

Bush Aide: Inspections or Not, We'll Attack Iraq
by Paul Gilfeather

GEORGE Bush's top security adviser last night admitted the US would attack Iraq even if UN inspectors fail to find weapons.

Dr Richard Perle stunned MPs by insisting a "clean bill of health" from UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix would not halt America's war machine.

Evidence from ONE witness on Saddam Hussein's weapons program will be enough to trigger a fresh military onslaught, he told an all- party meeting on global security.

Former defense minister and Labour backbencher Peter Kilfoyle said: "America is duping the world into believing it supports these inspections. President Bush intends to go to war even if inspectors find nothing.

"This make a mockery of the whole process and exposes America's real determination to bomb Iraq."
