Silly Sava, you should know by now it's perfectly acceptable for a President to lie about matters of national security in order to send our military off to kill and get killed halfway across the world, costing $billions.

But he'd better not lie about a blowjob, dammit!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Again, an unscientific poll.

Yep... since Zogby, a scientific poll has Bush at 58% Approval.

It's a fairer barometer of world opinion than it is of US opinion. Since I'm willing to bet that the majority of people who voted "deliberately misled" don't have voting rights in the US I don't think it'll have any effect on the election. Barring a miracle Bush is going to walk it.

Except some brown-nosers won't care if Bush lied or not. *coughcough*

And Clinton lied, but had high approval. Still lied, though.

Oh, and the Zogby poll likely doesn't reflect the latest information coming out, either. Blitzer's polls are based on the news of the day.

What do you Americans think are the chances of Bush losing in 2004?




P.S.
Is that Eddie Izzard in the picture FrustratedPoet?

If Republicans in Congress have any morals, Bushy will be going somewhere.

Ah, but how many felt the same way in '91 about Bush Sr.?

A year and a half is an eternity in politics.

Yeah it sucks, but, in the end the war was/is popular so what good is it going to do the Dems? Will people begin to think of Bush as dishonest? I doubt it.

White House 'lied about Saddam threat'

Julian Borger in Washington
Thursday July 10, 2003
The Guardian

A former US intelligence official who served under the Bush administration in the build-up to the Iraq war accused the White House yesterday of lying about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.
The claims came as the Bush administration was fighting to shore up its credibility among a series of anonymous government leaks over its distortion of US intelligence to manufacture a case against Saddam.

This was the first time an administration official has put his name to specific claims. The whistleblower, Gregory Thielmann, served as a director in the state department's bureau of intelligence until his retirement in September, and had access to the classified reports which formed the basis for the US case against Saddam, spelled out by President Bush and his aides.

Mr Thielmannn said yesterday: "I believe the Bush administration did not provide an accurate picture to the American people of the military threat posed by Iraq."

He conceded that part of the problem lay with US intelligence, but added: "Most of it lies with the way senior officials misused the information they were provided."

I'm not fond of the Guardian, but American media won't report such a story.
