T or F? | "Congress looked at the same intelligence I looked at..." -Bush
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 06:22 PM by Stephanie


Is Bush lying when he says of the Senate "they looked at the same intelligence that I looked at and saw the same threat I saw..."

Don't you think, most likely, that Cheney and the neo-cons fed Bush the cooked up OSP Chalabi false intelligence? Strauss would approve. So Bush and the Senate both got the phony, sexed-up intel. Therefore Bush's statement is true.

Because he is a puppet.

1. What is funny....
is that the ogre Cheney has already stated that the Whitehouse did have other intelligence that Congress, nor the 9/11 Commission, did not have......

2. I agree with you. Cheney has said just that
so that means the Senate did NOT get the same info as they did. I'll bet they didn't give them the Chalabi lies.

3. It is true
but again, congress did not vote for the war, they voted to give * the power so he would have some leverage with Saddam. Also true: if that is really Bush's quote, he ends his sentences with prepositions. A no-no for shylock, son of an english teacher.

5. Rumsfeld met with congress and fed them
a bunch of bs. Lied to them. That is why so many voted for the war. Who in their right mind would think that bush would feed the congress a pack of lies. Well he did and now we have a bloody mess on our hands. Don't forget they had many briefings in closed meetings (of course) in the house and senate floors. They had phony pictures and information that they fed them. Rumsfeld and Powel along with rice fed everyone a pack of lies and they knew they were lies. Thought they would go in to Iraq and it would be over and they could declare a big victory. That is what they did. What a strong president I am. Only the Iraqis said no you don't. Now we have chaos and 1039 deaths. Thousands injured.

7. If so, 23 senators saw through the BS and voted against the war.
77 others were too busy watching the polls and their own precious asses to read it.

9. It's a partial statement at best-Congress didn't hear ALL of it!
OSP, Douglas Feith's Pentagon offices-Complete timeline of the 2003 invasion of Iraq
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_timeline_of_the_2003_invasion_of_iraq&iraq_themes=officeOfSpecialPlans

Feith has been implicated in the torture policy at Abu Ghraib too.

It's a cover-up of LIES-PNAC COVER-UP LIES!
