BUSH'S LIES

U.N. draft report: No link between Iraqis, al-Qaida

"Nothing has come to our notice that would indicate links between Iraq and al-Qaida," said Michael Chandler, the committee's chief investigator.

Bush Misled US Into Iraq War--An Official Finding?

On June 25, during the House debate on the intelligence authorization bill, Harman delivered an informal progress report on her committee's inquiry.

As I have said continuously for months now, President Bush and his puppet-masters have lied to the American people, have manipulated our 9/11 sympathies and sense of patriotism, in order to aggressively invade an essentially defenseless nation.

His crimes are enormous, practically beyond belief: America does not want to believe, but we can hide our heads in the sand only for so long.
