in february of 2001 colin powell said:

“”he (saddam hussein) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. “”

and just recently colin powell said:

“”i did not say he (iraqi president saddam hussein) didn’t have weapons of mass destruction.””

so now even colin powell (who always seemed like the sole voice of reason and conscience in the bush cabinet) is being forced to lie.

if bush and his cabinet had a shred of dignity they would all resign for lying to and deceiving the american people.

president clinton lied about having sex.
george bush lied before congress and before the american people about reasons to start a war.

president clinton was impeached for a very small lie. george bush’s lies have cost billions of dollars and thousands of lives and no one has talked about his impeachment.

things are screwy.

p.s-and as a resident of lower manhattan i’m livid about the fact that the bush administration pressed the epa to lie about air quality in lower manhattan after september 11th.
so when the fire fighters and police and rescue workers and residents all develop lung cancer from breathing carcinogens who will we turn to for relief?
and george bush has the nerve to stage the republican national convention in nyc…

reuters-
“”in a telephone conversation with president jiang zemin of china, president bush “”stressed that the united states has no hostile intentions toward north korea, and sought a peaceful, multilateral solution to the problem created by pyongyang’s action,”” a white house spokesman said.””

dumb question, but why can’t the white house say something similar about iraq?
what if george w. said “”the united states has no hostile intentions towards iraq, and seeks a peaceful, multilateral solution to the problem created by baghdad’s actions.””?
american foreign policy seems to be, at present, at its most overtly schizophrenic and hypocritical.
we’ve got a hard-on for war with iraq but yet we want to seek ‘peaceful solutions’ with north korea? when north korea are guiltier(if ‘guiltier’ is actually a word. sorry) of the evils for which we’re planning on attacking iraq.
american foreign policy is screwy.
‘screwy’ being a germaine and sophisticated word, thank you very much.
don’t ridicule me for employing erudite words such as ‘screwy’, ok?
american foreign policy is screwy.
thank you.
