WASHINGTON - A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded 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 study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a threat.

"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.

9. her reaction would be to turn the other cheek of course

these people are just running out the clock and waiting for the election, and in the meantime Dick and * will still go on with their agenda, until someone or somebody stops them. Pelosi is aiding and abetting the criminals.

10. It appears that any accomplishments by Pelosi are off the table with impeachment, eom.

[Atman]

11. Cue right-wing talking point...

"But every nation on earth had the same intelligence we had and thought Saddam had WMDs."

It's a total fallacy, of course, but it's worked for them this long so why change strategies now?

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Her reaction: "This might seem disquieting news, but we're working together. No action will be taken

as it would be inappropriate at this time, especially not an impeachment or inquiry which would only serve to hurt the president. I now hand the house to the Republicans again to tell me what my agenda should be for today."

18. As someone else posted: Their lies United the Country. Impeachment Would Divide the Country.

I'm George Orwell, and I approve this message.

[RaleighNCDUer]

19. "At this time it would be a distraction from the upcoming election

to attempt impeachment of a president who will be leaving office in less than a year anyway."

(Not an actual quote - but no doubt an actual opinion.)

I wonder how many wars * can start in under a year.
