Lying Bastards Under Microscope

Tim Harper of the Toronto Star on U.S. under pressure over intelligence about Iraq:

Bush stunned many when he claimed on the eve of the G-8 Summit that his government had found weapons of mass destruction. He was referring to two suspected mobile labs, which U.S. intelligence agencies say may have been biological weapons labs.

The statement either indicates that the burden of proof required by his government to justify its main war rationale has been significantly lowered or Bush was getting frustrated over the persistent questions.

Suspected mobile labs are just that – suspected mobile labs. They are no more a weapon of mass destruction than my thumb. Bush's claim that we have found two weapons of mass destruction is a bold-faced lie and only the most feeble-minded of sheep are buying it. Over a hundred Americans and even more Iraqis died for these two suspected mobile labs. That's a disgrace. So, just when do the impeachment proceedings begin? Or do lies only count when the liar isn't a Republican? I'm a real libertarian brother, and I'm not making excuses for Republican lies. People died. Excuses don't cut it. Produce the weapons or impeach the bastard. It ain't that difficult.
