WTF Is It Now?!?

'pResident Bush's big lie'
"George Bush's logic is simple and unwavering, like that of most not-very-bright people who are fixated on some crazy notion, like those who believe that the moon landings were faked.

"His logic, and that of his devoted lackeys in the administration, goes like this:
A) Saddam Hussein is a very bad man; he even tried to kill my dad;
B) The nation suffered horrible atrocities and lost its innocence on Sept. 11, 2001;
C) We therefore must launch a war to overthrow Saddam, no matter what the cost.

"Our own media mostly haven't a clue. Incidentally, our shrewder warmongers know that the news media, especially television, are on their side. TV news executives would love a war. Their ratings would go through the roof, and they wouldn't have to fret about finding visuals that can illustrate how Bush and the boys have converted Bill Clinton's budget surpluses into huge, Reagan-era deficits, and why that hurts the poor guy in Sterling Heights trying to start a business." - Jack Lessenberry, in the Detroit Metro Times.
