The War Built On A Lie
Why mince words? These are the facts:
1) President George W. Bush is a liar.
2) Secretary of State Colin Powell is a liar.
3) Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is a liar.
4) National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice is a liar.

It Is Important
One serious aspect of this matter is that I would hate to think that the president is so contemptuous of the American people that he doesn't mind at all deceiving them. That would indicate that he simply can't be trusted, a very serious situation for a president.

Washington plays into Iranian clerics' hands

Deja vu as Bush pushed aside
Fourteen months ago, US President George W Bush demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon halt incursions into Palestinian-controlled areas, withdraw from cities Israeli forces had re-occupied, and refrain from further unilateral actions that would inflame the conflict. "Enough is enough," snapped the president, who had conquered Afghanistan four months before.

Sharon, of course, treated Bush's demands in much the same way as he would the yapping of a chihuahua, politely explaining that protecting Israeli citizens from suicide bombs was his first responsibility, and otherwise ignoring him. Two weeks later, the president was praising Sharon as a "man of peace", while stepping up his rhetoric against Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, and then ostracizing him altogether just two months later.
