Malaysian Prime Minister emphatically calls Bush a liar. Nice.

"Yesterday, Dr Mahathir not only accused Mr Bush of having told the 'biggest lie', he also noted pointedly that someone who could have lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction could also lie about what was said to him."

This gets to the heart of why the Iraq war has so damaged US credibility around the world. Nothing the man says means anything anymore.

1. and he just continues the behavior

over and over, building upon the last lie, hoping he can remember what it was, causing a build up of stress and anxiety--the "mission accomplished" lie for instance. This guy is right to call him on it -- it is the truth and there is no way I am going to enable Bush to go this way.

2. good, but...

Can we get someone other than a mad anti-semite to say it? Please!

3. True.

4. Maybe someone who has the courage to call a liar a liar

is not completely wrong in other areas as well. He IS a Ph.D., the successful prime minister of a large nation, someone who successfully stood up to the IMF and the U.S. juggernaut. Confusing a man having these credentials with some bigot in a dirty T-shirt, frothing at the mouth about Jewish depredations, would be a BIG mistake on your part.
Perhaps YOU are the one who loses by labeling him an anti-Semite.

5. Good god, that's idiotic.

Truth does not become less true merely because the person uttering it is less than admirable.

6. not the point I was making...

Mahathir's comments are easily dismissed because of his comments on Jewish control of the West, therefore they hold less water than from someone with more moral weight. We need criticism of Bush that can't be easily batted away.
