Bush lied about Iraqi drones
U.S. weapons experts in Baghdad have concluded that despite the Bush misadministration's public assertions, the unmanned drone aircraft weren't designed to dispense biological or chemical weapons.

In building its case for war, senior Bush administration officials had said Iraq's drones were intended to deliver unconventional weapons. Sec. Colin Powell even raised the alarming prospect that the pilotless aircraft could sneak into the United States to carry out poisonous attacks on American cities.... But the Air Force, which controls most of the American military's UAV fleet, didn't agree with that assessment from the beginning. And analysts at the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency said the Air Force view was widely accepted within their ranks as well. Instead, these analysts believed the drones posed no threat to Iraq's neighbors or the U.S., officials in Washington and scientists involved in the weapons hunt in Iraq told AP."

Bush lied about NYC air quality after 9/11
  • "On September 12, 2001, EPA administrator Christine Whitman directed that all information to news media be cleared through the National Security Council in the White House before release. The White House then made sure that what the EPA told the public was scrubbed clean of honest information.

    "The White House deleted cautions for asthma patients, the elderly, and people with respiratory problems to stay out of the affected area.

    "A warning that homes and offices should be professionally cleaned of contaminates was deleted." - - The Mahablog

  • "I did not feel well for two months. I never said anything because I was too embarrassed. A couple of thousand had died. So many others were scorched and broken and maimed. I had no right to open my mouth, I thought. Besides, from the first day, the government's Environmental Protection Agency had announced that air was remarkably clean. Work on. Breathe on. You're fine. They lied. They lied because the administration did not want people not going to work. They lied the first week and they lied the week after that and they have lied every day of the past two years to the people of this city... I sit here in New York and I don't believe one single solitary word of what the government says. Can you believe anything Bush says? Only if you're a rank sucker." - - Jimmy Breslin.
