What Else Has Dick Lied About???

Although Vice President Dick Cheney did admit he was wrong about the Iraq insurgency being "in its last throes" he has been wrong on pretty much on all accounts when it comes to the war in Iraq.

On an interview with CNN's "Larry King Cheney defended President George W. Bush's Iraq policy.

Cheney, known for his secretive ways and rarely one to admit mistakes publicly, said:

"My estimate at the time - and it was wrong, it turned out to be incorrect - was the fact that we were in the midst of holding three elections in Iraq, elected an interim government, then ratifying a constitution, then electing a permanent government, that they had had significant success, we'd rounded up Saddam Hussein.

"I thought there were a series of these milestones that would in fact undermine the insurgency and make it less than it was at that point. That clearly didn't happen. I think the insurgency turned out to be more robust."

In a further blow to Bush's strategy, Iraq's parliament went into summer recess for a month on Monday after political leaders failed to agree on a series of laws that Washington sees as crucial to stabilizing the country.

"It's better than taking two months off, which was their original plan," Cheney said. "I made it clear, for example, when I was there in May that we didn't appreciate the notion that they were going to take a big part of the summer off and they did cut that in half."

It's Nice To Have Friends In Low Places

US President George W Bush has ordered close adviser Karl Rove not to testify before a Senate hearing on the sacking of eight federal prosecutors.

Mr Bush used the executive privilege he has as president to exempt Mr Rove from having to appear.

This is freaking unbelievable!!! Is there no shame? This is the true version of High Crimes & Misdemeanors!

In Honor of Army Ranger Corporal Pat Tillman

Specialist Tillman was killed near Manah, Afghanistan on April 22, 2004

4063 U.S. Soldiers have died in the Afghan and Iraq wars as of today.

There have been 7 investigations leading into Tillman's death

The Army announced that it had 6 sanctions against 6 officers

Although the Defense Department reported that he had been killed by enemy combatants, it was later disclosed that Tillman’s death was the result of friendly fire.

Now we have conflict on the way this story is to be reported by our deceptive administration.

Chairman Waxman and Ranking Minority Member Davis sent a letter to the White House objecting to the withholding of documents related to the death of U.S. Army Corporal Patrick Tillman.

Following the Committee’s April 24, 2007, hearing on the Tillman fratricide, the Committee wrote to White House Counsel Fred Fielding seeking “all documents received or generated by any official in the Executive Office of the President” relating to Corporal Tillman’s death. The White House Counsel’s office responded that it would not provide the Committee with documents that “implicate Executive Branch confidentiality interests” and produced only two communications with the officials in the Defense Department, one of which was a package of news clippings. The response of the Defense Department to the Committee’s inquiry was also deficient.

Further more Secretary Rumsfeld testifies that the Department of Defense (DOD) does nothing but uphold the truth to "some three million military, civilian, and contract employees who dedicate their careers to defending our nation, to the military families who endure the extended absences of their fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters, and to the American people, for whom all connected to the Department go to work each day to protect."

Yet how can we take these talking heads seriously when it was proven that the DOD lied about Jessica Lynch. Private Lynch was captured when her convoy became lost in An Nasariyah, Iraq, on March 23, 2003. Following her release, the Defense Department disseminated an account of her capture and rescue that turned out to be inaccurate and misleading. However, Jessica Lynch told a different story during the Oversight Committee Hearings to expose what really happened that fateful day.

We need to stop these liars in command right now and take back our administration.
