Dubya's Faith I am listening in the car to "Maestro" by Woodward, which is about Alan Greenspan.  At one part, it talks about Alan's experience at his first private council with Nixon.  Greenspan was shocked at Nixon's swearing, given Nixon's pious image.  My guess is that Dubya swears as much as Nixon does.  To me, Dubya's faith is just a cover to hide how really rotten his actions are.  Dubya's Christian faith doesn't appear to contrain his actions in any way.  Remember when Dubya was asked in the press conference before the Iraq invasion about how his faith affected his decision?  It didn't have any impact on what he decided, but Dubya was going to pray to God to make things all better once we invaded. 6:18:41 AM    comment []

General Myers tells whoppers on Meet The Press From Sunday's Meet The Press: GEN. MYERS: Clearly, Iraq before March 19, before we went across the border, was a terrorist state, supported terrorism, and had a weapons of mass destruction program. And what... MR. RUSSERT: What’s the evidence of that, General? GEN. MYERS: Well, the evidence was before we went over, the many U.N. Security Council resolutions that stated that they had a program and that they had weapons of mass destruction they had not accounted for. They were supporting Hamas and other terrorist organizations. If you remember, Saddam Hussein was paying I think it was $25,000 to families of terrorists who would conduct suicide attacks, to the families of those who would conduct suicide attacks against Israel and, of course, there was this group of Ansar al-Islam up in northeast Iraq that was working on poisons that had actually, in fact, infiltrated into Europe and some of those plots thwarted by the British and the French and others. Where to start with this pile of lies? The American public was told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction - not some stupid program. The UN inspectors in the months that they were there could find no evidence of WMD's or even a WMD program. Northeast Iraq was under control of the Kurds, not Hussein. When the BBC visited the Ansar al-Islam, there was no evidence of a poison factory. And no poison from NE Iraq was smuggled into Europe - the British found a group that was making poison similar to the poison what was supposedly being made in NE Iraq. Lastly, Hamas and other Palestinian groups are viewed by the Arab world much as the Contras were viewed by the Reagan administration. Myers tells all these whoppers and Russert accepts it all without comment. How pathetic. 6:17:06 AM    comment []
