Tell me sweet little lies....

Great editorial a couple of days ago in the Toledo Blade, Another lie on Iraq. Read it all, it's short, but here's the money quote at the end.

Now, you can argue all day about whether faulty U.S. intelligence misled Mr. Bush, or about what the meaning of "suggested" is, but this much is clear: The administration relentlessly blurred what was a clear distinction between the militantly secular regime of Saddam and Islamic extremists like the 9/11 hijackers so as to create a laser-beam connection in the public mind that they were one and the same.

So for Mr. Bush to now claim that "nobody has ever suggested" that the Sept. 11 attacks were ordered by Iraq, as he did last week, is yet another lie in the chain of mendacity that shackles the Bush presidency.

What this administration needs is to be taken bodily from the White House in shackles for criminal ineptitude.
