Excerpt of The Departure by Michael Parker

Monday, February 09, 2004

MoveOn's campaign to censure Bush for misleading America into war has generated more than 250,000 signatures. I am one of them.

Tomorrow, MoveOn will be joined by former top intelligence officers and by parents whose children have been injured and killed while serving in the military in Iraq at a press conference in Washington to call on Congress to censure Bush.

President Bush's interview with Tim Russert yesterday proved one thing: Bush is still making up reasons why we went to war; he is still trying to mislead us with statements like, "I expected to find the weapons [because] I based my decision on the best intelligence possible."

The facts show the opposite, of course, as MoveOn outlined in a post on the 3rd.

"There must be consequences when a President takes us to war based on assertions he knows are untrue." MoveOn believes. "We've simply got to demand it."

I completely agree.
