Rice Krispies

Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage contradicted Rice's claim that the White House had a strategy before Sept. 11 for military operations against al Qaeda and the Taliban. The CIA contradicted Rice's earlier assertion that Bush had requested a CIA briefing in the summer of 2001 because of elevated terrorist threats. And Rice's assertion this week that Bush had told her on Sept. 16, 2001, that "Iraq is to the side" appeared to be contradicted by an order signed by Bush on Sept. 17 directing the Pentagon to begin planning military options for an invasion of Iraq.

It would be a comedy if it weren't a tragedy. There are lies, damned lies, and then there's this bunch of clowns.

I can safely say I've known used car dealers more apt to tell the truth than these guys. Not that I generally trust politicians of any stripe... but you know that joke:

"How can you tell when a politician is lying?"
"His lips are moving."

I think it was written just for ShrubCo.
