Surprise, surprise. CNN reports that President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups.
In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003," reads an overview of the examination, conducted by the Center for Public Integrity and its affiliated group, the Fund for Independence in Journalism.
According to the study, Bush and seven top officials -- including Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice -- made 935 false statements about Iraq during those two years. The study was based on a searchable database compiled of primary sources, such as official government transcripts and speeches, and secondary sources -- mainly quotes from major media organizations. The study says Bush made 232 false statements about Iraq and former leader Saddam Hussein's possessing weapons of mass destruction, and 28 false statements about Iraq's links to al Qaeda.
Bush has consistently asserted that at the time he and other officials made the statements, the intelligence community of the U.S. and several other nations, including Britain, believed Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He has repeatedly said that despite the intelligence flaws, removing Hussein from power was the right thing to do.
The study says Powell had the second-highest number of false statements, with 244 about weapons and 10 about Iraq and al Qaeda.Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Press Secretary Ari Fleischer each made 109 false statements, it says. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz made 85, Rice made 56, Cheney made 48 and Scott McLellan, also a press secretary, made 14, the study says. "It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al Qaeda," the report reads, citing multiple government reports, including those by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the 9/11 Commission and the multinational Iraq Survey Group, which reported that Hussein had suspended Iraq's nuclear program in 1991 and made little effort to revive it. The overview of the study also calls the media to task, saying most media outlets didn't do enough to investigate the claims. "Some journalists -indeed, even some entire news organizations -have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical," the report reads. "These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional, 'independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements about Iraq."
And looking at the beautiful pictures of the US President kissing, hugging and holding hands with the Saudi Dictators, we are reminded that 16 of the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, another two came from the United Arab Emirates, the country Bush tried to put in charge of six major US ports.
And more lies from the Bush crime family: In another CNN report, former White House spokesman Scott McClellan says top administration officials - including President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney - were involved in his "unknowingly" passing along false information about the leak of a CIA operative's identity. In October 2003, as controversy grew about the leak of Valerie Plame's name, McClellan stood at the White House podium and said that Karl Rove, the president's top political adviser, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, had not been involved. "There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes in his new book, "What Happened," which is to be released in April.
The excerpt -- three paragraphs from a 400-page book -- reads in full: "The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White House briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby. "There was one problem. It was not true. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff, and the president himself."
In March, Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying to investigators and a federal grand jury about his contacts with reporters concerning Plame. Just before Libby was to report to a federal prison in July to serve 30 months behind bars, Bush commuted his sentence, although the president stopped short of a full pardon and Libby still had to pay a $250,000 fine. Rove, who left the White House staff at the end of August, was not charged in the case. His attorney has acknowledged he was one of two sources cited by syndicated columnist Bob Novak, who first disclosed in July 2003 that Plame worked for the CIA shortly after Wilson wrote a critical piece for The New York Times.

Kisses seal Bush’s sellout of the US
Dear Readers, fellow Christians and Americans. I hope you are having a Happy New Year 2008. I know the Lord is with you and guides you to your destination.
The politics go on and our Government is still trying to start a war with Iran. Now there are a few small boats driving around the big US Warships in the Persian Gulf (Persia is the former name of Iran, which implies who is there as a guest) which surprisingly threaten the courageous US Navy. While the US soldiers – who might have felt threatened by rowboats also – are trembling with fear in the Persian Gulf, the President of our country which is plagued by high gas prices is – literally - kissing and holding hands with Royalty in Saudi Arabia. When the Barrel Oil was at $20 Bush vowed to convince the OPEC to lower the prices. With his illegal wars and occupation of Iraq he and his good fellows hiked the price up to $100 a barrel in just seven years.
With hot kisses the Saudi Royal Family welcomed the man whose family has supported their politics for decades, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America and vassal of the Royal Saudis. The history of this very profitable love affair between the Bushes and the Saudis can be found here.
Why should we keep GOD out of schools and the public?
I am very much for an obvious presence of GOD everywhere. My problem is – as many of you know already – that I am talking about the GOD in the Scriptures, with Jesus Christ’s message of Love and the teachings of the Apostle Paul.
I am very much against teaching our children or displaying any evidence of the Americanized, perverted GOD who loves violence, wars, killing, lies and deception. This GOD was made by the US rightwing extremists and silently crept into the minds of Americans who start to believe that this is really GOD, like the Muslim extremists believe in the GOD their leaders made for them, ignoring the Qur’an and all of Muhammad’s teaching, like many US Christians ignore Jesus Christ’s teachings and the Bible for the same reasons.
Ignorance is not always bliss. Don’t forget whom you are hurting with your self made Religion and false idols. Read the New Testament, read Acts, Romans, Corinthians, and the other epistles of Apostle Paul. Read the Gospel of Thomas in addition to clarify what Jesus really said. Large parts of the Bible have been edited and the usable traces of the sayings of Jesus that are not only for the Jews can be used to understand what Jesus really wanted and can help to read the Bible more informed. Jesus came for the Jews, but we are baptized by accepting Jesus Christ in our heart as our savior. No water, no fire. Which also means to understand His message and His will for us, so we can actually do his will and live according to the teachings that apply to us here and today.
The most important ones being: Love your neighbor as thyself, don’t kill, don’t lie, and don’t steal. Looking at all these requirements, you can tell that the current US Administration does the exact opposite. So they are definitely not on the side of GOD.
Please also look at what the other politicians are doing in His name. The Democrats promised to end the war. They still vote for funding it. Some Politicians like Dianne Feinstein make a lot of money from this illegal occupation and refuse to end it.
GOD will take care of all these people in his own time. Violence is not in His plans. Violence is a sign of the Godless. On either side. Christian and Muslim.
Amen. Rev. Dr. Alexander Hast, January 18, 2007
Project Censored specializes in covering the top stories which were subjected to media censorship either by being ignored or downplayed by the mainstream media each year. Project Censored is a research team composed of more than 200 university faculty, students, and community experts who review about 1,000 news story submissions for coverage, content, reliability of sources, and national significance. A brief summary of last year's top 25 censored news stories provided below proves quite revealing and most informative. After the headline of each news story is a link for those who want to read the entire article. These links contain the sources for the censored news. For whatever reason the major media won't report these major stories. Below are a few examples for this excellent work. Click here to see all the articles and sources.
No Habeas Corpus for “Any Person” - With the approval of Congress and no outcry from corporate media, the Military Commissions Act (MCA) signed by Bush on October 17, 2006, ushered in military commission law for US citizens and non-citizens alike. While media, including a lead editorial in the New York Times October 19, have given false comfort that we, as American citizens, will not be the victims of the draconian measures legalized by this Act—such as military roundups and life-long detention with no rights or constitutional protections
Bush Moves Toward Martial Law - The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, which was quietly signed by Bush on October 17, 2006, the very same day that he signed the Military Commissions Act, allows the president to station military troops anywhere in the United States and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to “suppress public disorder.”
No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11 - Osama bin Laden’s role in the events of September 11, 2001 is not mentioned on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” poster. When questioned about this shocking omission, Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI, responded, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”
Media Misquotes Threat From Iran’s President - Across the world a media story has spread that Iran’s President Ahmadinejad has threatened to destroy Israel, by saying that, “Israel must be wiped off the map.” Contrary to general belief, this statement was actually a misinterpretation.
Dianne Feinstein - the ninth wealthiest member of congress—has been beset by monumental ethical conflicts of interest. As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee (MILCON) from 2001 to the end of 2005, Senator Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions of dollars to her husband’s firms. From 1997 through the end of 2005, Feinstein’s husband Richard C. Blum was a majority shareholder in both URS Corp. and Perini Corp. She lobbied Pentagon officials in public hearings to support defense projects that she favored, some of which already were, or subsequently became, URS or Perini contracts.

Bush and the Saudis - A love affair to taunt the world
Today George W. Bush is kissing the only friends he has in the world. The Saudi Royal Family and the Bin Laden Clan. If the ties would not be paid for in American blood, no one would object. W. claims to ABC that it is his first visit to Saudi Arabia. If so, then the Saudis have been in the US for a while, because those hot kisses are not given to strangers. Only to family. And Bush is family for the Saudis - as well as vice versa. In the following some background info about the Love affair of the Saudis, Bin Laden and the Bush crime family. A love affair in money and Oil.
The history of this very profitable love affair between the Bushes and the Saudis can be found here.

Infamous Bill HR1955 threatens America!
HR 1955 or the “Thought Crimes Bill”, as it is widely called, passed the House in October 2007 with no discussion, and no mention in the main stream press. It is essentially a suspension of your First Amendment rights, the right to free speech, what I am doing right here and right now. Having read my Orwell, I am fully aware that it is almost 1984 – in some instances way past 1984 - and - well, it is just one more casualty on account of our Government’s way to finally abolish the rest of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and all amendments. This then useless piece of Antique paper – formerly called the Constitution - will be substituted by Martial Law, Plundering, Yellow Stars which will have to be worn by Muslims and random executions of Citizens held by the National Republican's Guard on orders of the President of the National Republican Democrats Party.
Many people are calling this infamous Bill the “thought crime bill”, and with good reason. This bill will criminalize dissent, and specifically targets the internet as the primary method of dissemination of such dissent. It will create a commission to study blogs that question government policy – and currently there are hardly any other blogs. Any comments that could be of violent nature such as: “The punishment for High Treason is death”. Especially now that the Bush crime family has been committing several acts of treason, among them the outing of a CIA agent, criticism can only be an act of Terrorism. Any action or thought which criticizes any Government action and asks for an action according to our former Constitution is an act of violence or as Bush calls it “Enemy combatant”. Or the simple version: Who ever is not with us is against us. Like Hitler did it. Not as subtle as he did it, but still. If you are interested to read the Bill HR 1955, please click here.

Some Democrats are seemingly trying to change the course
And here some voices from Democrats that I support. I hope they are sincere in their mission to stop the senseless killing and dying in an illegal occupation and a civil war which was actually caused by the ignorance of the US leadership. After thoughtfully committing High Treason in outing the CIA agents who could have provided the intelligence that so obviously lacking in the entire leadership of our country, including House and Senate. While drowning in fear they also threaten to abolish the last civil right that was left. Free Speech. Let's see how our US will try to avoid comparisons with Nazi Germany. Good Luck and Good Night. Here the Democrat's voices that are seemingly in the minority:
Stop $70B More for Iraq: Shut Down Congress' Phones
Submitted by Bob Fertik on December 10, 2007 - 3:49pm. OutOfIraq
Once again our Democratic "leaders" are betraying our troops by keeping them in Iraq forever to be murdered or maimed for no reason except the insatiable greed of Bush-Cheney's oil cronies.
On Tuesday, House Democrats plan to approve $30 billion more for Afghanistan. Then Senate Democrats plan to approve $70 billion to cover Iraq as well. Then House Democrats plan to approve the full $70 billion.
Why are our Democratic "leaders" betraying us? Because they want Bush to sign - not veto - the $522 billion omnibus spending bill to fund the government this year. We have no Democratic "leaders" - we have utterly incompetent negotiators who lose 100% of their battles, no matter how much public support they have.
Our Democrats in Congress clearly do not care about the voters who elect them, whether Democrats or Independents, virtually all of whom want them to end the disastrous occupation of Iraq now. Our Democrats in Congress do not care about the troops fighting in Iraq and their families, who oppose the occupation even more than the rest of us, by 69% to 64%. The only support for the occupation of Iraq comes from hard-core Bush Republican voters who never vote for Democrats.
Who do Democrats in Congress actually care about? The donors who fund them - period. So call your Representatives and Senators with a simple message: Not one more penny for Iraq - or not one more penny for your campaign. If you have ever contributed to your Representatives or Senators or to any Democratic committee, be sure to tell them how much you will not give them.
Let's all call Monday and Tuesday (between 9-5 ET) and shut down the Congressional phone system . Call your Representatives directly:

More from our friends at United For Peace and Justice:
Gather some friends together and pay a visit to one or more of your legislators. Stop by during lunch if that is convenient. Emphatically demand an end to the occupation. Your peaceful visit can be brief, or last long enough for your to read the names of every civilian and soldier killed in Iraq, or it can last until the member of Congress agrees to oppose all funding that is not tied to the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops and contractors.

Senator Dianne Feinstein against Impeaching Bush and Cheney
When I answered several surveys of the Democratic Party two days ago, I wrote my comments about each subject they asked me to comment on from Impeachment of the leading criminals of this country to the illegal occupation of Iraq and the failed attack on Iran. And I wrote my opinion as always based on GOD's word, HIS commandments and following HIS voice in my heart. For those who already know my style it won't come as a surprise that I was abundantly clear in my answers to these surveys.
At least the Democratic Party has figured out that I fall under the column "progressive" and then some. So now I get the so called "activist" mails instead of the senseless answers I have received in the past when I wrote to an elected official, which did not even have anything to do with the subject I was writing about.
At least now someone makes sure that the prefabricated answers are related to the subject and actually address my concerns. The following letter came as an answer to my request to impeach Cheney and Bush. I agree with my favorite Talk Show hosts Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes on Air America Radio (you can listen online. Just click on listen!) that there is something very strange about a Democrat who refuses to hold this administration accountable for their crimes.
Strange is also that the Democrats did not even attempt to fulfill the request of the voters who brought them back into power to stop the illegal occupation of Iraq, they did not reinstate our Constitution, Habeas Corpus is not even on the table, and now they want to let the criminals who shredded our constitution go free? Obviously. But why? Please read Senator Feinstein's argumentation and think about it. Why would someone let those criminals go free. Either you are involved in the crime or on a blackmail list or - what else is there?
Dear Dr. Hast:
Thank you for your letter concerning impeachment proceedings against President Bush. I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
In our recent elections, the American people expressed clear disapproval with the path this country was on. They are tired of partisan politics and of an Administration that pays little heed to the wishes of the American people. They want-and deserve-a Congress that holds the Administration accountable and fulfills its Constitutional responsibility to check and balance the Executive. I share this sentiment and am determined to work hard and across party lines in the United States Senate to promote issues that are of real concern to most Americans, including the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, homeland security, global warming, and lobbying and election reform.
At this time, however, I believe that impeachment proceedings against President Bush will only divide the country even further, frustrating our hopes for a meaningful change in direction, while having little chance of success.
I have been deeply disappointed by many of this Administration's actions and have been outspoken in those instances. Nevertheless, given the challenges our country faces I believe that we need to focus on constructive and cooperative steps that would lead us in the right direction.
Again, thank you for your continued correspondence. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
Dear Senator Feinstein,
I strongly disagree. First we have to clean house before we can move on. America does not want to see the people go free who wasted Billions on a war and illegal occupation - in no way to related to 9-11, if I may remind you - just to benefit huge Corporations, literally gave our nation the finger and are allied with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They have shredded our Constitution, promote Torture, killed thousand of Americans for their Oil business and committed more crimes than I have room to mention here.
Please don't forget that Nixon resigned over a few bugs and recordings of his perceived enemies - while we - all of America - are currently being illegally wiretapped on an ongoing basis and that President Clinton had to endure impeachment proceedings for lying about a blowjob, not for killing thousands of Americans, and constantly breaking the law.
End the occupation, reinstate the constitution and bring the criminals to justice.
Oh, and by the way: I just saw a FEMA sign on TV and everybody there was very happy with their performance: In Malibu, California. Congratulations. New Orleans is still in shambles, but all we have to do is "follow the money"...

I have been deeply disappointed by many of this Administration's actions and have been outspoken in those instances. Nevertheless, given the challenges our country faces I believe that we need to focus on constructive and cooperative steps that would lead us in the right direction.
Again, thank you for your continued correspondence. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
Dear Senator Feinstein,
I strongly disagree. First we have to clean house before we can move on. America does not want to see the people go free who wasted Billions on a war and illegal occupation - in no way to related to 9-11, if I may remind you - just to benefit huge Corporations, literally gave our nation the finger and are allied with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They have shredded our Constitution, promote Torture, killed thousand of Americans for their Oil business and committed more crimes than I have room to mention here.
Please don't forget that Nixon resigned over a few bugs and recordings of his perceived enemies - while we - all of America - are currently being illegally wiretapped on an ongoing basis and that President Clinton had to endure impeachment proceedings for lying about a blowjob, not for killing thousands of Americans, and constantly breaking the law.
End the occupation, reinstate the constitution and bring the criminals to justice.
Oh, and by the way: I just saw a FEMA sign on TV and everybody there was very happy with their performance: In Malibu, California. Congratulations. New Orleans is still in shambles, but all we have to do is "follow the money"...

Iran told the truth - Bush, Cheney and Rice lied to us and to the world!
Iran has no nuclear weapons program. The news channels finally reported this for George W. Bush inconvenient fact that has been known since the year 2003 and that revealed the US Government again as a bunch of warmongering liars.
If it would not be business as usual, the fact that Bush tried to start another illegal war would be an outrage. Just like the Bush crime family lied their way into the illegal occupation of Iraq, they tried to follow up the same way with Iran. Today they had their Spokesmodels on the US TV-Channels spread the lie that bad intelligence almost fooled them like it fooled them in attacking Iraq. What the News Bimbos and Himbos on the fake news from FOX, ABC, NBC and CBS don't tell the public - probably because the Republicans removed the last real journalist from television - is, that the Bush crime family had the so called "evidence" produced just for the reason to start the illegal war and a few days later the illegal occupation of Iraq.
Now they thought they needed to start a new war, just to keep the weapon industry and the contractors that made Billions of illegal Dollars on this charade happy. Not to forget the Oil industry which is largely owned by the Bush administration. They really took care of their own. They tripled the gas prices. Congratulations. They probably won't commit suicide like Hitler did, after he attacked innocent countries, started wars and betrayed his people. They will most likely live very comfortably on their billions of Dollars of Blood money. Just watching these liars on TV makes me sick to my stomach. History will decide. But we have been royally screwed as of today. We treat liars, thieves and murders as Presidents and let them keep on governing us. Where is the outcry? GOD's commandments and the US constitution does not apply for the Christians in our US of A? Where is the American Spirit that has been admired all over the world until we turned our country into an Empire of crime?
Let's hope that the Democrats will finally grow a spine and bring the criminals who raped our USA and a completely innocent country like Iraq to justice. And no, none of these countries had anything to do with 9-11. This was a fabrication of the Bush-Bin Laden connection. Please read. Then you will understand what really happened. May I recommend this column here and this link to our Current Information where you will find lots of facts - the stuff our Government hates.
I am sure that if you read what I wrote about these subjects and compare it with the so called "intelligence" that "just" came to light you might be surprised. How do I know all these things long before our Government admits to them? Everything is so clear and laid out. And looking at the evidence, it all makes sense. WE have been insulting the Arab world (except the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates, where by the way all the 9-11 "terrorists" came from) until they really started hating us on a broad basis.
All we can do is apologize to the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for calling him publicly a liar. No matter what he did or does otherwise - at least in this case he did more than our US Government has done in the last six years - he told the truth.
