‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple.
9th June 2008
Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, set out to provide the official foundation for what has become not only a thriving business but, more important, an article of faith among millions of Americans. And in releasing a committee report Thursday, he claimed to have accomplished his mission, though he did not use the L-word.
But if you actually read the report, you find something entirely different.
But dive into Rockefeller’s report, in search of where exactly President Bush lied about what his intelligence agencies were telling him about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, and you may be surprised by what you find.
In other words, as with many Democrat-run “official” reports, they can’t lie about the evidence, but they can lie about what the evidence shows, in the sure and certain knowledge that nobody who counts will Read The Whole Thing and catch them out.
Who was it said that it’s impossible to underestimate the intelligence of the American people?
