MSNBC - Rewriting History
I actually found this lie, on behalf of MSNBC, kind of amuzing...
...Saddam's regime had been listed for years by the U.S. government as a 'state sponsor of terror,'...
But except for the allegation about Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda'a claim that is now more in question than ever the other examples cited by Cheney in Tuesday night's debate never have been previously emphasized by Bush administration officials, and for good reasons...
The reason I can state this as a lie was due to me, the other night, flipping though channels and stoping on our local cable channel (which I documented in a prevous post). It had a liberally biased show on where they were playing clips of republicans before the war talking about the dangers of Saddam.
What is interesting here is a speach given by presedent Bush, which directly stated that one of the reasons to oust Saddam was due to his vast ties with terrorist networks... What makes this more interesting is the fact that my source for this information did, as I said, come from a liberally biased show!!! Always amuzing when you can break apart some liberals supposed facts with other liberals attempts to incriminate the right...
I still found it amuzing that in that show, there was not one single clip of a Democrat saying these same things, even though there were just as many solid quotes from the left (including people like Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry) as there were from the right...
And just as soon as a conservative documented these, with links, thoes links all of a sudden mysterously started dieing, almost as if all these liberals were trying to hide from their own words...
