Governing by Deceipt
If the president tells you the sun rises in the East, would you believe him? Not if you have been listening to his utterances.
Now it turns out intelligence had determined Iran suspended--long ago--its weapons-related nuclear program. In fact, the National Intelli- gence Estimate said, the program was suspended long BEFORE Bush asserted just the opposite.
Is the president embarrassed at being caught in another mammoth lie? Not in the least. He stood on his hind legs at the White House and said the report changes nothing. He said Iran is still dangerous and it could restart the program at any time.
Does this sound much like the "slam dunk" dance surrounding Iraq several years--and thousands of U.S. casualties--ago?
Now Bush says he wants the United States to be a leader in the fight against global warming. Do you believe him? Of course not.
He wants to renew some international accords he shredded upon coming to office. Do you believe him? Of course not.
He says the United States can show the way to peace in the Mid- dle East. Do you believe him? Of course not.
It is not enough that we have a stubborn dunce for a president, but a lying stubborn dunce at that.
