BS: Osama bin Hitler???....

I believe that Karl Rove has run outta fresh ideas...

...and one wouldn't expect Bush to really know much of anything except how to organize the decent keg party so who else can we blame???

But the new-'n-improved campaign to resell Bush's worn out used war in Iraq is not only off base in terms of history but down right laughable...

They're milking the poor old cow for all she has left, Bobert. She's down to the last few drops now.

I posted to another thread about this. Here is a brief on what's coming from the Republicans aimed at the Nov elections.

Beware the eyes of Nov. It seems that there is a republician campain just starting now that trying to dump the blame for 9/11 on Clintion. Which is gearded to remove some heat from Bush & Company from that & the Iraqi war.

for more info or sources see MoveOn.Org Civic Action

"ABC plans to show a 9/11 movie made by a right-wing producer who blames Clinton and defends Bush."

The writer and producer of The Path to 9/11 is an outspoken conservative activist.2 And the right wing is thrilled about the movie—Rush Limbaugh said "the film really zeros in on the shortcomings of the Clinton administration" and "It's sort of surprising that ABC's picked it up, to me."3

ABC is billing the movie as an objective account based on the 9/11 Commission Report, but the miniseries is riddled with misinformation.

Good luck in Nov. The shit's about to hit the fan, watchout for the spin.

Remember the $200.00 haircut that never happened?
How about the "news" report that accused the Clinton administration of vandalizing the government computers when they left Washington? That was gleefully reported by Bill O'Reilly, then when it was ecposed as a lie, he didn't have the balls to admit being wrong.

And the new campaign could point out how correct it was in 2002/3 to claim a strong link between Al Qaeda and Iraq. Well, it may not have been true then but it surely is true now, thanks to Bush's politics. So that was not a lie it was self-fulfilling precognition.

A recent survey in Europe has shown a Europe-wide average approval of Bush's foreign policy of 18 % (local lows in France, Spain, and Germany) with 5% approving a possible war with Iran. Come on, George, that's good news, the approval rate in Germany has recovered recently from the single digit figures two years ago.

Some more survey data (from other surveys):

Germans asked about which country is Germany's best friend
1996: 48 % said USA, 18% said France
2005: 16% said USA, 41 % said France

If the Germans chose France over the USA, that takes Bush's credibility to a new all time low.

That raving leftist George Will points out how absurd this new Bush regime line is--and that few Americans (at least of those who think) will buy it. I would hope no educated person would buy it.

I sent an e mail in protest to this showing and this is what I got back.
Thank you for your email. After careful consideration and weighing viewer
input, both pro and con, we at WMTW-TV have decided not to censor this
important program.

The Path to 9/11 is a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a
variety of sources, including the 9/11 commission report, other published
materials and from personal interviews. The events that lead to 9/11
originally sparked great debate, so it's not surprising that a movie
surrounding those events has revived the debate. The attacks were a
pivotal moment in our history that should never be forgotten and it's
fitting that the discussion continues.
The following disclaimer will air throughout the movie:
"The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of
sources including the 9/11 Commission Report and other published
materials, and from personal interviews. The movie is not a documentary.
For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized
scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, as well as
time compression."

I reminded them that they refused to show the Reagans in an unfavorable light, and that I would be watching another channel while this is on.

I agree. They are using the same hype but in far more desperate terms.
