Bush pulls a "Slick Willy"
Hahaha... now Bush and his hatchet boys are playing semantic games and quibbling over the commonly accepted meanings of basic English words:
Well, it's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I suppose that Clinton must be feeling vindicated over his lame redefinition of "sex" and "is" right about now.
But the Bush administration's weak defense of their blatant lies still beats that of the British government, whose current explanations couldn't fool a 2-year-old:
Hahaha... now Bush and his hatchet boys are playing semantic games and quibbling over the commonly accepted meanings of basic English words:
...Bush contended that Saddam Hussein was trying to develop a nuclear bomb. Among elements he cited to make his case was a statement that "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."Translation: "I did not have untoward relations with that intelligence data".
Ms. Rice, in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," said that "the statement that he made was indeed accurate. The British government did say that."
And Mr. Rumsfeld said on the NBC News program "Meet the Press" that "it turns out that it's technically correct what the president said, that the U.K. does — did say that — and still says that. They haven't changed their mind, the United Kingdom intelligence people."
On the ABC News program "This Week," Mr. Rumsfeld added that "it didn't rise to the standard of a presidential speech, but it's not known, for example, that it was inaccurate. In fact, people think it was technically accurate."
Well, it's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I suppose that Clinton must be feeling vindicated over his lame redefinition of "sex" and "is" right about now.
But the Bush administration's weak defense of their blatant lies still beats that of the British government, whose current explanations couldn't fool a 2-year-old:
Peter Hain, the Leader of the Commons, insisted Britain had reliable evidence Saddam sought uranium from Niger. He told GMTV yesterday: "We maintain it still to be true because we had intelligence from other intelligence services, which we were not able to share with the Americans."Right - the British kept the best stuff away from everyone, even the country with which they were about to launch an unprovoked, dangerous, and foolish war, and instead released absolute garbage for public consumption. Perhaps the British had to keep this secret "intelligence" hidden away in their "magic bag", so that no one could steal it.
