Unresponsive to the question. Repeating the same assertion does not
prove
its truth.


Dave's having reading problems. Do you want me to put the following in
all
caps?

Putting it in all caps doesn't prove its truth either. Please answer
the
question Max asked.


The question was "Could you kindly provide a website detailing his
admission?"

Are you and he really incapable of a simple google search? Ok, that was
a dumb question.

Have at it...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...0061108-2.html

I read nothing in that article that indicated Bush admitted to lying
about anything. Care to quote the exact reference you have in mind?

Max



You decide. I guess in your parlance, not telling the truth when asked a
direct question isn't a lie.
Q Thank you, Mr. President. Last week you told us that Secretary Rumsfeld
will be staying on. Why is the timing right now for this, and how much
does it have to do with the election results?

THE PRESIDENT: Right. No, you and Hunt and Keil came in the Oval Office,
and Hunt asked me the question one week before the campaign, and
basically it was, are you going to do something about Rumsfeld and the
Vice President? And my answer was, they're going to stay on. And the
reason why is I didn't want to inject a major decision about this war in
the final days of a campaign. And so the only way to answer that question
and to get you on to another question was to give you that answer.


I guess that could be construed as a lie. And it certainly is much worse
than lying to a federal grand jury about having sex with an intern. NOT.

Max



Well,let's put it this way... Clinton lied about a blow job. How many people
died as a result. Bush lied about the reasons for war. How many people died.

So you're saying it's all right to lie in some situations?

Only if you're a Democrat.

I'm saying that Clinton lying about a personal issue is of grave importance
to his family but of little importance to the nation. I'm saying that lying
about the reasons for going to war are of grave importance to the people who
do the fighting.

Do you think the two are equal?

It's not that Clinton lied. Before he lied publicly the Israelis knew about
Monica and blackmailed the daylights out of him.

I admitted he may have lied about Rumsfeld's resignation, but so far I've
seen no evidence--only left-wing diatribe--that he lied about anything w/r/t
Iraq. You showed me the evidence I asked for about Rumsfeld--now show me
the evidence about his lies w/r/t the Iraq situation. If you can, I'll
accept it for what it is.

In 2006 State of the Union he cited Iraq and Afganistan as examples of "the
great story of our time" - the adance of freedom. He proclaimed that the
number of democracies in the world had increased from about two dozen at the
end of 1945 to 122 today, but he didn't mention that neither country was
counted as such by the organization whose stats he was touting. - A lie of
omission and obfuscation.

He accurately asserted that the economy gained 4.6 mill new jobs in the
previous 2.5 years, but failed to note that it had lost 2.6 mill in his
first 2.5 years in office. - A lie of omission and obfuscation.

In March 2003 he insisted that it was "a matter of fact" that the coalition
included more nations than the alliance assempled by his father. Most were a
reluctant bunch, which included the Poles who didn't want to be there, the
Italians who wouldn't get out of their vehicles, the Japanese who wouldn't
patrol and wouldn't even guard there own perimeter. - A lie of obfuscation
and wishful thinking.

In June 2004 when asked about Ahmad Chalabi, Bush acted as if he barely new
the man's name. "Chalabi? My meetings with him were very brief." "I think I
met with him a tthe State of the Union and just kind of working through the
rope line, and he might have come with a group of leaders, but I haven't had
any extensive conversations with him. Chalabi was listed by the White House
as a "special guest" of Laura's and sat directly behind her at the SofU. - A
lie of ommision at least.

After the Dems won back the houses of Congress, Bush said that "Democrats
are going to support our troops just like Republicans will." Those
statements where at odds with his campaign rhetoric from just days before
when he said regarding Iraq, that if the Democrats vision were to prevail,
"the terrorists win and America loses." - A lie either first or second.

Bush: "Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin
Laden. It's kind of those exaggerations." - Seems like a lie to me.

Bush: "We have found the weapons of mass destruction." The Army has found no
evidence of such weapons. - No lie there.

And, I could go on and on of course. :-)

You could, but don't bother. So far I'm unconvinced of any deliberate lies.
W is a political hack, and political hacks tend to paint the picture in
their favor. If that is lying, one can conclude that all politicians are
liars.
