It is starting to look to me like both of them just automatically say whatever they think they need to say in order to get what they want, all of the time, whether what they say is true or not.
Here are some examples: These are the exact thoughts they deliberately conveyed to us, expressed in my words, as shown below; then followed by the truth, briefly stated.
"Nobody warned us before the 9/11 attacks that terrorists were getting ready to strike inside the United States." Yes, they did.
"We did everything we could have done to prevent the 9/11 attacks, given the information we had." No, you didn't.
"Nobody could have thought that terrorists might hijack some airplanes and fly them it into buildings." Yes, they did.
"We know that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction!" No, you didn't.
"The people of Iraq will greet us as liberators. They will be dancing in the streets and tossing flowers." No, they didn't.
"We are making good progress in Iraq." No, we aren't.
"The people of Iraq are yearning to be free." Yes, yearning to be free from us, the invaders.
"We don't torture." Yes we do.
"All electronic surveillance inside our Country is done with a court order." No, it isn't.
"The economy is strong, and getting stronger." No it's not. We're living in a false prosperity, financed by huge deficits and foreign loans.
"The Constitution gives me authority to do whatever I think I need to do in order to protect the American people, even if Congress has passed a law against what I want to do." No, it doesn't.
"We haven't had any terrorist attacks since 9/11." They are waiting to get all the parts smuggled into the Country, then assembled. It takes time.
"My Government has conducted a thorough investigation, and the Dubai Ports deal poses no possible danger to our National Security." No, you didn't. And yes, it does. And besides, it's not "your government," it's our government. We have foolishly allowed you temporarily to serve as President.
And the very latest and most obvious lie, captured on video tape for all to see: "Nobody told me the levees in New Orleans were in danger of breaking open and flooding." Yes, they did.

I do not believe that George Bush is actually running this nation. Never in his history has he shown the slightest inclination or ability to lead so why think he does now? I believe that Dick Cheney runs this nation with the help of folks whose names we do not even know. Perhaps it is the Carlyle Group actually making decisions, I know it isnt George W.
When Bush is needed to speak they simply give him a script, fill him full of drugs of all sorts and trot him out there to say what he is told. Afterwards he goes back to whatever it is he does with his time until his next mandatory public appearance.
