 Bush is a very poor impromptu speaker. He does fine in small groups but when speaking without a script in front of large groups or answering questions he wasn't prepped for, he has problems. |
| What is the first thing we did when we took control of Iraq? Protect the oil fields. Remember the administration quote about how the oil would pay for the war. |
| All around the world one heard or read that there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. |
| In and of itself, keeping the country safe for business is not a bad thing. |
| Could it be that all those reports coming from our own intelligence that Bush ignored was right all along? Could it be that the UN was right all along? |
| To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections. |
| Before and during the first phase of the war his administration repeatedly maligned the UN but now, that Iraq has turned into a quagmire, it is asking the UN for help. |
| For some reason, it never crossed any mind in this administration to ask for the money back. |
| Politicians in this country have always been for sale. That is nothing new. |
| Until we totally change the way we elect our leaders, until we remove private money from public campaigns, lying will be the de facto method of governance in this country. |
| Even though the Bush campaign ad tells you that Afghanistan is a new democracy at the Olympics because of Bush's efforts, Afghanistan hasn't actually had an election. |
