Dearly Beloved,
We have gathered here today to pay our last respects to the latest attempt of the Sore Losers to smear our President, George W. Bush.
If you recall, just days before the November 2004 election, Dan Rather and his minions at the C-BS network tried to foist upon the American public "fake but accurate" documents about the Presidents service in the Air National Guard. The documents were proven to be forgeries and the attempt to take down a sitting President backfired.
Recently the so-called "Downing Street Memos" have surfaced, purporting that the President "fixed" the facts to support the Iraq war effort.
It has been a main contention of the President's enemies that he lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction(WMD's) to get us into a war.
However, what has been conveniently forgotten is that the belief that Saddam Hussien had WMD's was widely held BEFORE PRESIDENT BUSH TOOK OFFICE IN JANUARY 2001.
A brief look at news articles from CNN.com provide sufficient proof:
"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."- Madeline Albright, Feb 1, 1998
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9802/01/iraq/
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/02/18/iraq.political.analysis/
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 http://www.cnn.com/US/9802/04/us.un.iraq/
So you see, my dear friends, since the belief that Saddam had WMD's goes all the way back to the Clinton Administration, President Bush did not lie, "fix" or fabricate the WMD issue.
So as we say good bye to another dear fabricaton of the Left, let us now with strong resolve push forward to the bright future that is before us, proving to the world the true liberating power of democracy.
Feel free to stop by the casket on your way out.

You right wing revisionist historians are so transparent. As a former defense analyst I, and many others, know that the probability that Saddam had WMDs at the time Bush began to clamor for war was very small. We knew it then and said so very loudly. What Madeleine Albright and Clinton said in 1998 is not relevant to the situation in late 2001.
Here are some facts that you're going to have a hell of a time revising:
1. Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
2. Saddam had no WMDs and plenty of credible analysts said so before Bush's invasion.
3. bin Ladin is still out there in spite of Bush's boasts about hunting down terrorists.
4. Bush has never uttered a true statement since he was inaugurated.
5. The corporate news media is not left wing by any stretch.
6. George Bush didn't serve in Vietnam. Neither did Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, BIll Kristol, or Richard Perle.
Interesting that rather than addressing the above comment, the author of this blog merely carts this comment over to freerepublic to get reinforcement from the echochamber. Interesting and telling.
