Some Many Lies

Bush's performance - which I have no doubt will be lauded from here til the next one - is terrible. He's lied or misstated on some many issues so far, including:

    What Kerry's said
    * that the coalition can't function unless Bush is president (if true, very bad considering the president's history with bikes, pretzels, and scooters)
    * kept cutely messing up Osama and Saddam's name
    * that were he to question the war at all, "what kind of message would it send to the troops?" (what kind of message does it send to the troops if you kill them without thinking)
    * that Saddam took us to war
    * that he would try not to start a pre-emptive war in the future and that really, he hadn't already (ha!)
    * that he's responsible for Libya (a non-issue for years) disarming
    * tried again to say Saddam attacked us
    * that the only reason we're fighting in either Afghanistan or Iraq is to liberate them (we're liberating 'em right to death)
    * THAT NO ONE HAD TO TELL HIM TO GO TO THE UN BEFORE IRAQ (bull bull bull bullSHIT)
A bit more debate and my head shall implode.
