Our Emperor Has No Clothes – But that’s o.k. because history will show that no clothes is exactly how wars are won.

Surprise! President Bush took advantage of a “photo op” yesterday in Iraq…I wonder how much that set the American taxpayer back? Honestly, what’s another billion anyway? And what an eloquent speech he gave to the troops. I for one, am now convinced that this whole Iraq war thing is totally necessary, and the surge is really working, and we are so much safer…Yup.

I totally get it now…Lies equal truth…We see what we are told to see. We do this because we are patriotic, to disagree with lies being sold as the truth would be tantamount to treason. It totally makes sense to me now. I’m just praying, that President Bush will tell me who I need to vote for, so we can continue this well oiled policy of pomp and circumstance, with our next administration.

But don’t take my word for it.

In this special comment on President Bush’s surprise visit to Iraq “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann says President Bush is “playing us” on the state of the war in Iraq and when the troops will come home.

President Bush told troops in Iraq some of them may be able to come home. To a country dying of thirst, the president seemed to vaguely promise a drink from a full canteen — a promise predicated on the assumption that he is not lying. Yet you are lying, Mr. Bush. Again. But now, we know why.
