January 30, 2005Call me cynical but...
George Bush is a liar. As I write this, it´s Sunday, and Iraqis are voting with polls closing shortly. Now, reports are already out that 72% of Iraqis voted and it has "exceeded expectations." We have no control over that country, bombs go off everywhere, but now I am supposed to believe that we know exactly the number of people that voted today, while the process is still going on? It´s propaganda. On Fox News this morning, one of their correspondents had this to say..."Only 22 people were killed in Iraq today..." It´s sad what passses for success these days. Within an hour of him saying that, a few more bombs went off and the number dead is unsure. This administration has lied so often and so heinously, I can´t believe anyone believes one word they say anymore. I swear to God, if Bush told me the sky was blue I´d call for an investigation. 10 euro´s says that the "72%" figure came from the Pentagon. I can imagine this conversation... Rumsfeld - "Hmm...how many people should we say voted today? I got it. We´ll just take the total number of civilians killed today, multiply it by two and there´s our answer." An aide - "Uh, Mr. Secretary...there´s a problem. Only 27 civilians have been killed today." Rumsfeld - "Give me 15 minutes!" Here´s some leisure reading for you- "Top 34 Bush Scandals" http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/30/opinion/30dowd.html?oref=login January 28, 2005 | In demonstration of opposition to American foreign policy, activists beat an effigy of President Bush during an anti-war rally at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
