The White House lashed out at reporters for exposing the fact that
Bush knew he was lying when he claimed that trailers found in Iraq were
biological weapons labs. The Washington Post and other news outlets
revealed that the Pentagon had already determined that the trailers had
nothing to do with biological weapons when Bush declared on May 28,
2003, “coalition forces have uncovered the strongest evidence to date
that Iraq was hiding a biological warfare program.”
But when Bush is caught knowingly lying to justify a murderous and
illegitimate war, rather than admit being wrong, this regime deems the
journalists who would dare tell the truth irresponsible or traitorous
and often threatens legal action. (Case in point: Bush has not even
been censured for the illegal NSA warrantless wiretap program, while
the New York Times is being investigated for reporting the story.) The
White House continues to blame “faulty intelligence” rather than the
proven fact (as is shown in this instance by the fact that the Pentagon
had already reported these were not biological weapons labs) that Bush
knowingly lied. So tell us: are there “faulty intelligence”
(translation: blatant and willful lies) about Iran too?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
