New Lie:WMDs Bush Wrong but DID NOT Mislead

AssocPress: On CNN's "Late Edition" natl security adviser Stephen Hadley said: "Turns out, we were wrong. But I think the point that needs to be emphasized ... allegations now that the president somehow manipulated intelligence, somehow misled the American people, are flat wrong." Hadley then went on to describe a hypothetical situation that imagined 1 of the Sept 11th terrorists had been arrested a few days before the attacks (b/c we just knew the old 9/11 card HAD to be thrown, huh?) Well if the intelligence wasn't twisted or w/held, then why did Bush have the security clearances pulled from at least 92 senators in Oct 2001? The extent of Bush's pre & wartime secrecy is of mammoth proportions, as is clearly shown in this post. Read the entire post- it is amazingly thorough. But even if this info wasn't extensively documented, the average American w/any semblance of sense would question these things: 1) No WMD's found. 2) Bush, Cheney, Rice painting the scary-ass picture of things like mushroom clouds, uranium from Niger, etc. 3) Cheney was repeatedly dispatched to CIA headquarters to twist the arms of analysts. It's obvious the intelligence was manipulated, by cherry-picking and intimidation. 4) Libby was indicted for lying in order to cover up Cheney's involvement in the CIA leak/ arm twisting/ cherry picking. People realize that the Plame was outed to get back at her husband Wilson the whistleblower. This all adds up to 100% bullshit and the average citizen is losing faith in any Bush credibility and it is all punctuated by these harsh numbers: over 2000 troops dead/ over 15K are wounded/ 1000s upon 1000s of Iraqis are dead, over $200 Billion hemorrhaged from US taxpayers' already thin wallets.
