Couple Bush Lies?

[clarence swinney]

C. W. S winney is a retired business executive who lives in North Carolina.  He voted for Nixon, Carter, Reagan twice, and then G.W.H. Bush. 

He says he was "apolitical" until 1991, when he " happened on Haynes Johnson Sleepwalking Through History book in a local library." 

He was shocked at what he learned about Reagan, and has since become enthralled with Bill Clinton and become a historian of 1980's and 1990's.  He has a library of over 100 hours of Clinton speeches, including all his state of the union addresses, has collected over 200,000 pages from print media and has purchased over 500 books on the 1980's and 1990's. His library contains 200 Notebooks of Data such as budgets-debt-deficits, etc.
He is now considered a Political Historian, of 1980’s, 1990’s and Bush Administration, for Lifeaholics Of America.

 Mr. Swinney has been cataloguing the endless stream of lies of the George W. Bush administration, which is up near the 200 mark as of May 22, 2003.
        Here is his list.  Everybody might not agree about every last item, but anybody who thinks that this President is honest and/or trustworthy is smoking something illegal!
----------------------- BUSH & STAFF LIES& DISTORTIONS----------------------
In 2008 the non-partisan Center For Integrity In Media—released a study showing Bush plus 11 of his staff had told 935 LIES on Weapons Of Mass Destruction.
Think the public cares? Think my Minister and others who backed the awful war will care? Huh!
Each item is sourced. They can be attained by asking. I have them but there are so many that it would require many times this space.
I Define a Lie—INTENT TO DECEIVE—some are not-- many are. You decide
A Game—Get a group and find which are Blatant Intent To Deceive LIES. How many?

1.I passed a Patients Bill Of Rights as Governor. This was awesome but typical. He told this LIE many many times in 2000. He vetoed the bill. It re-passed with a veto-proof majority and he refused to sign it so it went into law without his signature. How could he do such lying? How could he get by with it? It has been typical.
Karl Rove taught him-- Goebbels—“Tell Big Lies and never back down they will become truth”
2. 935 LIES—center for integrity in media—study showed Bush and ten staffers told 935 LIES selling the Iraq War to the people. Bush told over 200 LIES. I listened day after day when Bush and Cheney would use word association such as Saddam & 9/11: Saddam & Terrorists: Saddam & WMD to imply a connection which was a Technique to Lie. The sold their product. Americans believed them. In 2008 the study of viewers of Fox News revealed over one half still believed those LIES even after Bush had said on national tv there was no connection of Saddam with 9-11 attack.

21. I will “fully” fund LIHEAP—low income energy program. ¾ is not 1.

24. My administration will have transparency. In the dark?

31. Saddam kicked inspectors out of Iraq. (He ordered USA spies to leave but stated over and over that others but usa could stay). He let all in in 2002 with no interference. Bush lied to use it as Only excuse for Invasion which was started immediately after 2001 inauguration by Rumsfeld and Cheney putting equipment and troops in Kuwait.
According to the text of the ABC News interview, which was released Dec. 1, 2008-Gibson asked Bush, “If the intelligence had been right , would there have been an Iraq War?”
Bush answered, “Yes, because Saddam Hussein was unwilling to let the inspectors go in to determine whether or not the U.N. resolutions were being upheld.”
Of course, the historical record is clear: Hussein did let U.N. arms inspectors into Iraq in the fall of 2002 to search any site of their choosing. Their travels around Iraq in white vans were recorded daily by the international news media, as they found no evidence that Iraq had WMD stockpiles
Sick or dumb. You decide.

32. I knew nothing about a possible WTC type attack. I cannot read. PDB too long for me. Interrupted my vacation. CIA agent informed him on ranch in august 2001. When the agent had finished he said Bush told him “OK! You have covered your ass now get out of here.” Nice Loon this punk.

53. Alabama Duty—I was there on a temporary assignment and fulfilled my weekends.Three simples questions—(served in which section—did what—with whom). His Biographer, Weinstein, writes that Bush told him in 1999 he got a pass on service in Alabama. I am getting Spin dizzy.
54. Dan Bartlett—Bush spokesman : "He pulled his drills in Alabama". (Since he wasn’t flying he was doing odds and ends under different supervisors whose names he cannot recall, which may well explain (why they can’t remember him either).
55. "I was no longer flying F-102 jets because they were being replaced by a different fighter."

such as school vouchers, for it would prompt an extended debate in congress”.

124. Mitch Daniels: "The 2003 budget was built on very conservative and cautious assumptions."
125. OMB: "appropriations of domestic programs are, or will be, the cause of long term budget problems".
126. OMB: "deficits will drop significantly between 2002 and 2003.".
127. OMB: in its mid-year review it claimed that the Senate domestic budget plan would reduce the president’s defense request for the 2003 budget. (The Senate plan included the president’s full request and OMB knew It.).
128. Padilla— Ashcroft had to reverse his claim of capturing a terrorist who was planning bio-chemical attack on us.
129. Bush claimed Al Q was planning to attack U.S. nuclear plants. (No proof yet. Just spreading fear).
130. Photo-op in Arizona during wildfires. ”We will help”. (Arizona is still waiting.) .
131. Wolfowitz: "We found a terrorist cell in Jacksonville, Florida." (When asked for proof by Jacksonville leaders, they were told it was just my gut feeling.).

(Then, put out a new policy allowing HMO’s to do just that).

137. Said his 2001 Tax Cut was originally designed (during the height of the Clinton boom) as a stimulus. Do not need more wind in a hurricane.
138. Dan Bartlett : "“Since he was not flying there was no need for him to take physical”. He was grounded because he refused to take a physical. Quite plain on his record. Snort snort gurgle gurgle.
139. Campaign official: "There was no special deal for him to get into the National Guard.! A lie for infamy.
140. Most small business owners pay income tax at the 39.6% rate. Boy, 5% Is not most. Why such blatant lies? Pathological?

143. Discovery of cannisters is proof Iraq is not cooperating with the inspectors.
144. "I am a Uniter not a Divider. Sho! Got the world united against us.
145. Ken Lay : "First met him in 1994. Very stupid lie.

147. Am Iraqi agent met with Al Q Mohamed Atta in Prague. Phantom meeting.
148. Condi Rice : "No one ever dreamed of such a thing as a plane being used as a bomb”. How many times must they tell you Condi?

152.“You can’t say one thing and do another”. “My tax cut will not cause deficits even in a recession.”.
153. Colin Powell before UN: “The tape clearly establishes a connection between Osama Bin Laden and Hussein, beyond all question.” (The tape when played in it’s entirety told a very different story.)
154. Colin showed a photo, which he alleged, was a plant producing chemical weapons. Baloney. Old buildings. Small bakery. Thirty reporters went to the site and said “Bunk”. It was on European TV but did you see it on American TV?
155. Ari said the evidence by the UN inspectors of a missile which could travel beyond UN limitations was a breach. Iraq said it varied in distance according to payload. Russian authority said it was reported to the UN. The extra distance was minimal. It could go 120 miles which will just about make it a Serious Security Risk for America?
156. Newsday-2-23-03-Bush and Ari lied whey they said the Blue Chip Forecast showed the economy would grow at 3.3% this year if Bush tax cut is passed. Randall Moore editor of Blue Chip denied the claim. Why do these BOYS keep making such false claims? White House personnel became almost hysterical in trying to spin it.
157. “I support After-School Programs”. In 10-2-03 letter he sent to After School Alliance. Cut the funding by 40% per E.J. Dionne in Washington Post on 3-7-03. Rep. George Miller said “Not unexpected. It was a Clinton Program. There is obviously a search-and-destroy mission against anything that was Clinton”. Nice Christian group?
158. Reuters-3-7-03-The U.S. and British lied about their proof Iraq imported Uranium. The IAEA concluded it was a false charge. Psychos? .
159. 2-28-03-Speech on Homeland Security-“I proposed 3.5B for first Responders. He proposed an increase of 1B not 3.5B as he claimed He vetoed 400 Million passed by Congress for First Responders and in 2002 he actually froze money for them.
160. Colin: ”They are hiding banned arms in mobile laboratories”. Outlook India. Com 3-6-03 Hans Blix stated "No evidence of such activities has been found". He said his inspectors had followed U.S. leads and got nothing”.
161. January 3, 2003: “My Jobs Program(for rich) will create 2.1 million jobs and the tax cut shave been front loaded to have as much effect in the first year as possible. January 8th-White House document released showed that job creation will be about 190,000 in 2003. NY Times Edmund L. Andrews 1-9-03.
162. Ameri-Corps : "Wash. Post Dana Milbank-2-27-03-“During SOUA Bush made it a central part of his “Compassionate Conservative” program and called for it to grow to 75,000 from 50,000. Instead, It is possible enrollment will be 26,000 this year. In December of 2002 Bush said it was “expanding mightily”. The funding will be 64 million short in 2003.”.
163. Salmon Fish Story-Seattle Post Intelligence 1-16-03-Bush said “the salmon runs can be restored without building dams. The man and fish can coexist. Bush is still holding up 4 million to help them coexist.
164. Paul Krugman-NY Times-2-25-03-President Vincente Fox of Mexico felt betrayed by his good buddy Bushlite. Old Bushie (promises made-promises kept) promised to give amnesty to all illegal immigrants from Mexico. Next time Vicente watch who you trust. Be sure they are solid Christians! Remember this is White House overflowing with Dignity and Integrity. Plus convicted criminals. Plus pathological liars.
165. Wash. Post 2-26-03-“I have not made up my mind on war (slaughtering ) . John Bolton, Undersecretary of State said “We are going ahead UN or no UN. It is already final? I am a leader? I am in charge? I will make the decision?.
166. Ari said “We know they have it (WMD). A list of 25 sites were quietly provided.” Hans Blix challenged Bush and Powell to put up or shut up”. The info they provided has been junk-junk-junk said UN Inspectors.
167. Ari “Bush is willing to be patient”. The very next day Bush said “time is running out”. Who is in charge? Do these boys speak to each other?.
168.”I am willing to offer them food and energy assistance if they stop their nuke-uler program.” I say what I mean. When my mind is made up it stays made up. Do we have a scorched brain here?
169. Colin tried to paste a link between Saddam and Al Queda by saying “a sinister nexus between Iraq and the Al Queda network.” He used as proof a chemical weapons training center in an area controlled by Ansar al-Islam. Reporters visited he area and found no proof.
In fact, the group hates Saddam and Al Queda.
170. 2-3-03 White House Fact Sheet-“The budget would be in double digit deficit if there had never been a tax cut in 2001. The budget returned to deficit because of War, Recession and emergencies associated with the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11”. Whoever wrote the Fact Sheet did not look at Historical tables volume of White house budget. Page 5 read: An economic slowdown began in 2001 and was exacerbated by the terrorist’s attack of September 11. The “deterioration” in the performance of the economy came together “with income tax relief” provided to help offset the economic slowdown and additional spending in response to the terrorist attacks produced a drop in the surplus to 127.1 billion and a return to deficits in 2002.
171. Bush said only North Korea was to blame for crisis. Colin Powell gave “great credit” to Clinton for freezing NK plutonium enrichment program in the 1994 Framework Then. Wash Post reported a senior Bush administration official suggested the nuclear crisis was the predictable result of a flawed 1994 agreement signed by Clinton with Pyongyang that “frontloaded all the benefits and left the difficult things to the end for the next president (Clinton). Honor, Dignity, and Integrity. It got lost somehow.
A great source of Bush lies is Sam Parry article of 11-4-02 in www.consortiumnews.com headed “Bush’s Life of Deception”.
172. The Education as number one priority has slipped through the cracks. The 2004 Budget of Bush eliminated 45 educational programs. A total of 1.6 Billion. Major ones are Comprehensive School Reform ( $ 235 million). Rural Education ( $ 162.5 million). Smaller Learning Communities ( $ 142.2millon). Perkins Loans ( $ 100 million). Regional Educational Laboratories( $ 67.5 million). Leveraging Educational Asst. Partnerships( $ 67 million). Preparing teachers to use technology ( $ 62.5 million). Community Service of expelled students ( $ 50 million). Parental Asst. Info. Centers ( $ 40 million). Physical Education Programs ( $ 50 million). Community Technology Centers( $ 32.5 millon). Fund for the Improvement of Education was cut by( $ 361 million). Source is Report by House Budget Committee (Democratic Caucus-John Spratt Jr.) 2-4-03: "this c- student a loose in land of learning! .
173. NY Times-3-10-03—Elisabeth Rumiller-“Antiwar Clerics wonder if Bush hears their call”. Cardinal Pio Laghi a peace emissary sent by the Pope John Paul II to meet with Bush said “he was told he could not talk to reporters in the White House driveway where microphones are routinely set up for visitors to the Oval Office. (Ari Fleischer said it was not true. Cardinal Laghi held a press conference anyway. Will you believe emissary from Pope or Ari?).
174.Harper’s magazine-Weekly Review-3-4-03: "Bush administration officials hinted Russia might have a hard time collecting it’s Iraqi debts, if it fails to support Bush war plans. (Other Security Council members were being told they would pay a “heavy price” for refusing to support Bush. Ari said, in effect, that they were all lying).
175. Consortium News-11-4-02-In the October 11 debate Bush said the Clinton-Gore administration “took 40 million acres of land out of circulation without consulting local officials. He said: “I just cited an example of the administration just unilaterally acting without any input.” (The Forest Service conducted 600 public meetings.) (Like Father like son “I will do (or say) anything to win”. GHW Bush in 1992.).
176. Bush said during the debate “Our water in Texas is cleaner now”. The Sierra Club said “The discharge of industrial toxic pollution into surface waters in Texas increased from 23.2 million pounds in 1995 to 25.2 million pounds in 1998 the last year of available data (Bush hiding it?).
177. Bush said: “I do not need polling to tell me what to think”. NBC News 10-6-00 reported Bush spent over one million dollars on polling during his campaign. It was widely reported that during first two years in the White House over one million per year was spent on polling as much as Clinton spent over first two years.
“Who cares what you think”. He must have meant it for all Americans.
Reporter-Writer Sam Parry writes “Bush’s growing record of lies, both big and small, suggest something perhaps more troubling. His personal history of heavy drinking, drug use, carousing, disappearances from military duty, repeated business failures and political hypocrisies -- combined with his ability to avoid ever paying a significant price for his deceptions - have given him a sense of his own infallibility”.
Paul Krugman-NY Times-(on wmnf-fm-tampa 2-26-03)-The Bush administration’s level of irresponsibility and dishonesty is unprecedented”. Amen! .
.
Washington Post Editorial on Bush Tax Cut: ”Mr. Bush must know how phony his “averages” are. Anytime a salesman has to resort to such deceptive tactics, the customer ought to be wary about what is being sold”.
Dennis Hans writes: ”I review below 23 “techniques of deception” of Bush and his foreign-policy team.”.
178. Colin before UN: “My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.” (Powell presented now discredited presentations of bogus tales based on discredited defectors, tortured captives, photos and tape recordings that proved little or nothing. Wild speculation. A “fine British dossier built on plagiarized essays with 12 year old “revelations” and so on.).Later, after leaving office Colin said they lied to him.
179.WND Instead of providing proof Powell produced photos of Al-Taji ammunition storage facility. Powell claimed they are a ”signature item” for chemical bunkers. A picture of a truck and a shed by themselves reveal nothing about the content of the adjacent bunker. Swinney note: Reporters visited the site only a couple days later and found a small bakery and dilapidated buildings.
180. Powell used tapes of conversations. (The State Department’s transcript of the actual conversation makes it evident that Powell had embellished the quote to make it appear much more incriminating. Intent to deceive is LYING.).
181. Bush claimed the location of Samoud 2 Missiles was “the Tip of the Iceberg”. (He has produced nothing to back up such a claim. If he has information he is required to notify the inspectors under UN Resolution.) .
182 Powell stated there were labs in remote Kurdistan. (No proof.) .
183. Powell stated there were mobile labs with WMD. (No proof. Hans Blix’s inspectors followed all leads supplied by U.S. Intelligence and some inspectors called US Intelligence information “junk” and kept them on wild goose chases (found two mobile food kitchens). www.accuracy.org has several examples of deception.).
184. Bush said during his speech to UN Security Council on Sept 12 “Iraq has made several attempts to buy high-strength aluminum tubes used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons." In his SOUA on Jan 28 he repeated it.
185. Bush made inference eight times to a tie between Iraq and Al Qaeda in his news conference. By citing 9/11 he tried to alchemize American anger at Al Qaeda into support for smashing Saddam. (No proof of Saddam-Al Qaeda connection.).
186. Bush said location of Samoud2 Missiles was “Tip of Iceberg”. No proof of any iceberg. If he has proof he is in violation of UN Resolution by withholding information from inspectors.
Noted Journalist Sy Hearst-“There is no real standard of integrity because the White House doesn’t have any”.
Paul Krugman-NY Times-America’s leadership has lost touch with reality. The eagerness to believe that an Iraq nuclear program does exist has led to a series of embarrassing debacles capped by the forged Niger papers. It is clear that deposing Saddam has become an obsession.”.
187. -03-13-03--AP-Niko Price-From Al-Taji, Iraq--IRAQ DRONE. Iraqi officials took journalists to the Ibn Firna State Company just north of Baghdad where the drone’s project director said Colin Powell and Bush lied. The Drone was made of Balsa wood with two small propellers attached to what looks like the engine of a weed whacker.
188. Bush II Shootout at OK Corral speech : "“Every measure was taken to avoid war”—words will live in infamy. One analyst revealed 21 lies Bush spoke in his “24 hour to leave Dodge” speech. 189. David Ensor -CNN Wash. Bureau-3-14-03-Powell referred to proof of Iraq attempting to buy uranium in his UN presentation.(Totally false. Fake documents.).
190. Wash Post-3-21-03-Glenn Kessler : "“It’s a bald face lie to claim the “coalition” is greater than the one on 1991” per Ivo H.Daalder of Brookings Institute.( The comparison is not even close.).
191. Ari said several times ”Iraq is a wealthy nation”. Los Angeles Times Warren Vieth article 4-3-03-- (The Iraq balance sheet is a Basket case. Financial shambles. Debt load. Cash flow low. Shaky currency. High unemployment. Sounds like George Bush had been in charge for past ten years!).
192.The Strait Times (Singapore) listed by Common Dreams.org on 10-28-03- Malaysian Prime Minister Mohamad said President Bush ”lied” when he said “I pulled him aside at the Bangkok Summit and rebuked him for his anti-Semitic remarks”. Now. Which would you believe?
193.Condi Rice and others said the administration never said ”imminent threat.--”May 7th 2003—Ari Fleischer said “absolutely” when he was asked “didn’t we go to war because we said WMD were a direct and imminent threat?” www.The DailyMislead.org
194.Bush claimed UN Inspectors were not allowed into Iraq before his slaughter. The UN weapons Inspectors were forced to leave when Bush began his slaughter. This lie was unbelievable. Does he know anything?
195 thru 207. I will not list the 12 lies by Condi Rice but you can get details at: aw heck I erased the site. Sorry. Will look for it.
208. Bush stated he first learned of POW abuses from videos like most Americans. Colin Powell Per Mark Matthews of Baltimore Sun on 5-12-04 quoted Colin Powell “I and other top officials kept the President fully informed in general terms about complaints made by the Red Cross and others on ill treatment of prisoners in American custody.” Bush was informed a year earlier than videos. A typical Bush spin will be to use “in general terms” like I did not know Planes would crash in north side of twin towers. No one told me North side. So, I is innocent.
209. Bicycle fall at Crawford. Spokes lady said “it was due to so much rain and ground was wet.” Ground was very dry. No rain in many days. I cannot comprehend why it is necessary to spin such irrelevant negatives. What is wrong with these people? Animal House, Crazy House, Nut House or what?
210 thru 213—Record—4 lies in one speech—Reuters from Des Moines, Iowa on 7-20-04 speech —“I want to be the Peace President” .Too late. Fire all of PNAC staff if you are serious—“I am a reluctant warrior”. Huh! “Cheney Saddam, we are taking him out”—“America and world are safer”. If so remove colored flags. “We are going to be attacked before election” Tell that to Palestinians and Israelis. To Spain . To Bali .

214. I am the War President”. “I am the Peace President”. Yuk! Sane?
215. “This is pro-small business administration”. --Tax breaks to largest: Pharmaceuticals—HMO—Richest—1325 Billion and 555 B to top 1% mostly big business owners and CEO’s—Defense Manufacturers (poor souls)
216. Columbia Journalism Review-7-21-04 Des Moines Speech—“You see, if you can’t raise enough by taxing the rich, guess who pays next. Yes, the not-rich. That’s all of us Poor fellow. Food Stamps.
217.Campaign promise-“My administration will create 5 millon new jobs by end of 2004”. Short 4 million. Lie or ineptitude.
The following is a series (#218 thru #224)of distortions(lies) during R convention week of 9-3-04 from Alternet,org titled “Kerry was framed”. 9-2-04.
218. Zell Miller framed the Iraq war as indistinguishable from Sept 11 attacks.
219.Zell Miller framed oppositon to presidents policies as opposition to freedom.
.220.Zell called a vote against one appropriations bill as multiple votes against individual weapons systems.
221. VP Cheney said Kerry voted to authorize force then opposed the war. Kerry did oppose method used by Bush as did most of the world citizens.
222. Cheney said Kerry voted for 87B blank check before voting against it. Kerry voted for one “version”, Bush threatened to veto one “version’. Kerry wanted to use Bush tax cuts for rich to pay for it. He did not want to give Halliburton a black check as in the version he opposed. Bush wanted to give Halliburton a blank no-bid check.
223.Cheney said Kerry vote against one version was to prevent troops from having flak jackets and protective equipment. Nonsense. He voted for protective gear. Bush sent the troops to battle without proper protection.
224.Cheney distorted Kerry “sensitive” statement on war on terrorism. Kerry entire context was about waging a strong and effective war on terrorism while being sensitive to concerns of our allies.
225.Cheney-“The world’s worst source(Iraq)of nuclear weapons proliferation is out of business.” 9-1-04 R national convention—Still pluggingWMD? This man is in a dangerous state of mind. He is scary.
226.Treasury Sec John Snow told Ohio audience: “Claims like the one that Bush will be the first president to end a term with fewer jobs than when he started is nothing more than myths”. Note he said First. He is second. Is that a Snow job? www.thecourier.com/issues/2004/oct/101204.htm#story4

226. Third debate Bush said-“We took the right action and didn’t allow contaminated medicine (flu shots from England) into our country”. Crazy or what? Responsibility for nothing- Credit for everything. English authorities closed the Chiron Plan. and Revoked it’s license on October 5th 2004. The closing surprised Tony Blair and our FDA. Our FDA visited the plant on October 15, 2004The Bush FDA inspected the plant in 2003 and early 2004 and found bacteria but said the firm was correcting the problem. Sho.
How could a sane person make such a nefarious claim during a nationally televised debate? Then, he went on campaign trail saying over and over “I stopped contaminated vaccines from coming into our country”.
227.March 30,2005—“I am a Man of Law”—like drunkenness—Military Desertion—Pathological lying—Terri Schiavo—Review of Execution Stays—International Treaties-
How does he get by saying such frat house junk?
228. 4-23-05—NY Times-David D. Kirkpatrick--V-P Cheney said he “approved of the Senate effort to stop filibusting using the “Nuclear” option. Senator Harry Reid said ”Last week, I met with the President and he said he would not become involved in the Republican effort to use the nuclear option to stop filibusting.” Who is in charge of this Waffle house? One guess. Cheney? Correct.
What is wrong with Bush? Is he drunk? Scorched mind? Or? Unbelievable!
229. Media Matters For America-7-8-05---Bush and Condi Rice both have proclaimed many times—“President Bush has “tripled aid” to Africa since 2000”.
230.Bush said many times—“I will fire anyone responsible or who was involved at the White House for outing Valerie Plame”. Now “anyone convicted”. “I mean what I say and say what I mean”. I am writing this from the space shuttle.
They present Fact Sheets, which show increased spending from 1.1 Billion in 2000 to 3.4 Billion in 2004.
A review of Facts reveal the “potpourri” of many things .
They are supposed to be comparing ODA (official development assistance) funding. Per usual for this gang they put apples, oranges, and bananas into a pot and call it apples. They included Military Assistance, Training, Peacekeeping Costs, and Disaster Relief for Liberia. Conflict Assistance for Sudan.
They increased ODA Aid by 67% not 200 %.
Note—Always be leery of claims of success by this gang.
231. Karen Hughes stated in Indonesia “Saddam gassed hundreds of thousands of his own people”. She was informed that was incorrect. She continued to use it till she was ordered to stop it. The number less than 5,000.
Chicago Sun Times-Chris Brummitt—Oct. 23-05.
232. “We do not do Torture”. A statement to live in infamy. One of dumbest things ever said by this Pathological Liar. The world saw the pictures of the torture. This amazes me. How could he be allowed to say such a lie? It is obvious it was not in his written script but was a reply to a reporter’s question. It borders on Mental Deficiency.
If this punk is a devout person just call me Pope Clarence I. The First Baptist Pope. Folks! History will report this as most deceptive Gang in history. Nixon gang looks like Angels compared to them.
This is a gang of Anti-Christ politicians.
233.1-7-06—Leonard Pitts-Miami Herald—In Buffalo last year Bush said “When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists we’re talking about getting a court order before we do so”. A Blatant LIE which was Intent To Deceive Americans. He made the statement in several speeches.
234.Bush stated many times He ordered the invasion because Saddam kicked UN Inspectors out of Iraq. How many times do you lie before the Press calls you a liar?
235. 3-21-06 Press Conference—“I think you premise Helen that I “didn’t want” War. To assume I wanted War is just flat wrong”. Told Biographer “I will need a War to be a successful President”. Seconds before going on TV to announce the beginning of Slaughterama he was asked how do you feel. He smiled and said, “I feel good”.
Campaign when he admitted this:
236—“I’m on a Walk just like you. It is a never-ending Walk as far as I am concerned”.
From Judy Keen USA Today 12-29-05 on Bush pardons.
237. 5-04-06 Bush said he barely knew Abramoff. Secret service logs reveal Abramoff or staff visited the White House 200 times in first ten months of Bush occupancy. Perhaps they were looking for Jeff Gannon! Monica!

238.Rumsfeld flat out lied. In a press conference 5-2-06 Ray McGovern, CIA Agent for 27 years, asked him why he lied about location of WMD. Rumsfeld said “I did not”. Ray read him his exact words said many times.
239. Laura lied or blind.—She told Larry King—the papers do not report good things on George. Huffington Post 7-8-06 posted a long list of good news and good polls on Bush.Laua, when most is bad news it gets most printing! Comprehendez?
240. Karl Rove told the Denver Post “recent studies show researchers have far more promise from adult stem cells than from embryonic ones”. Chicago Tribune contacted many Stem Cell Experts who said that was wrong. Rove spokesperson was unable to name one researcher to back Rove. Try anything crowd. 6-19-06
241.Rumsfeld testifying to Senate 8-02-06—“I have never painted a rosy picture. Find where I have been excessively optimistic”. Think progress.org—Rumsfeld stated this on 1-7-03—“It is unknowable how long this conflict will last. I count six months.” 2-20-03-“troops will be welcomed”—3-30-03—“We know where WMD are stored”
242.John Dean-9-21-06-from Findlaw posted to Smirking Chimp—Condi used, over and over, on Talk shows that NIO intelligence gave them incorrect info(1992) to justify Invasion. Problem. Congress formed NIO in 2004.
242. Intent to Deceive is Lie—11-2-06-Kerry military goof in joke on Bush. Bush used it as an attack on the military even two days after knew it was a goof and he was wrong using it.
243. 11-06-06—“Democrats do not have a plan”—Stated numerous times by Bush-Cheney-Melhman all over TV and on campaign trail. A BLATANT LIE—Senator Reid presented the Democrats 528 page called ‘THE REAL SECURITY ACT”—It was a detailed outline plan of action. It was defeated in the Senate on a straight party line vote with every Republican voting against it. LIE LIE LIE Have they no Honor?
245. June 2007.White House honoring students. One gave him letter signed by many on stop torture. Stuck in pocket. After speech, pulled out and read it. He said, “I agree. America does not torture”. Kids thought he was loco. A big lie. Many servicemen convicted for torture in Iraq. Karl Rove disciple of Herman Goering taught Bush –never back down. Keep lying.
246. 7-1-07 Tony Snow to press in Kennebunkport during Putin visit-“What the president has said is “let the legal procedure work it out”. 7-2-07 Bush commutes the sentence of Libby. Bush Sr responsible? Casper W?
247. Wash Post-9-3-07-bush made this statement in a fundraiser in Bellevue, Washington on 9-2-07—“Do you realize that the United States is the only major industrialized nation that cut greenhouse emissions last year?”
Kristine A. Helmmer, the spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, acknowledged afterward that the White House was unable to substantiate the claim. We are making sure the President knows it is incorrect for other nations do not use same measurements as the United States.
248. Fact Check.org-9-21-07—Bush said change in SCHIP would result in covering children with family incomes up to $83,000. The bill contains no requirement for setting income eligibility caps any higher than what is in current law.
249.Fact Check.org9-14-07—In speech yesterday Bush LIED three times(intent to deceive)-“36 nation have troops on ground in Iraq”-State Dept says 25.\
“Ordinary life returning to Baghdad”. Shites-Sunnies seperated by large concrete barricades not normal.
“Baqubah in Ditala province was
“Baqubah in Ditala province was cleared”. State Dept official said “It is not stable”
“The Iraqi Army is become more capable”. Matter of degree. Iraqi Defense Minister said it would be 2012 before the army will be even 60 percent capable of protecting the nation.
250. 10-17-07 USATODAY-Bush speech said he would veto SCHIP because of the $83,000 maximum. NY is only state requesting that high. Can work for different max for it. USA said he is misleading at best and simply wrong (lying) at worst.
251. 10-17-07 Press Conference and has said this many times. Goebbels type—say it over and over becomes truth—The President of Iran has said he “wanted to destroy Israel”. Bush knows that is not what he said. The initial English translation had it that way.The Arabic translation “wanted to destroy the Israeli regime”. Middle East papers and TV reported that version. Bush and msm in America have chosen to push a BIG LIE.
People around the world do not hate America. They hate the Imperialistic Bush regime.
252. In major speech at Naval War College Bush used Al Queda 27 times.
He said-“Al Queda is main enemy of shite, sunni and kurds alike. Al Queda is responsible for the most sensational killings in Iraq.”
The military and intelligence officials refute him as Al Queda is a small part of the killings. Al Queda members identified by bodies killed and captured less than 5% of total. “Most” suicide bombings identified have been by young recruits from Saudi Arabia (Bush pal) and are not members of Al Queda.
Think this is stop Bush? Look at how many times in 1999-2000 he told many many groups “I got a Patients Bill Of Rights passed as Governor”- Fact Check org-8-21-07--. Such blatant lying says he does not care what he says or his admitted recovering drunk mind is worse.
253. In 2004, campaign bush said “We will lead on an aggressive effort to enroll millions of poor children who are eligible but not now signed for the government’s insurance program”. He hs twice vetoed SCHIP. Center for American progress-- 12-13-07
254. Feb 2008—In pushing immunity for tele-coms he said “People are planning much worse attacks on America than the 9-11 attack”. He offered no proof. Just speculation. Intent to Deceive was lie for a fear promotion. Shameless.
255. 3-09 Condi on TV Interview claimed she never connected 9-11 and Iraq. “Mushroom Cloud” her pet. Many efforts to deceive amongst the 935 LIES documented by Center for Integrity in Media. Condi is LIAR.
Note: since this report was started Bush has taken action on some things which show no action. Pell Grant Max. increased.

This list reveals why Cheney-Rove kept Bush addressing Kindergarten-Elementary grades. Why not high schools and colleges? Why speak to crowds who were closely monitored as Bush fans? Something amiss in Crawford!!!
