A little bit of irony: the White House Press Office strikes again!
Posted 26 weeks 1 day ago byThis has no relevance to anything, except it makes me wonder who the White House Press Office is really working for!
I recently visited the White House website to procure text of President Bush's first speech outlining why Iraq posed a threat to America. The speech is aptly titled, "President Bush Outlines the Iraqi Threat," and can be found here:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/print/20021007-8.html
The fun part is this - there's a topic banner across the top of the screen, right below the White House logo, that reads:
"IRAQ, DENIAL AND DECEPTION."
Wait, what????
The full text of the speech follows thereafter. I'm sure it's not supposed to sound like the President was the one denying the truth and deceiving us about Iraq, but what I can't figure out is, what is that title supposed to refer to?

Oh for goodness' sake

Clearing a few things up

As a former White House Correspondent for The Washington Times , let me help you make sense of this.
They work for the president. Just like the spokespeople for Nancy Pelosi (or Bill Clinton, for that matter) work for their political bosses and not "the people."
I think those folks — and I still know some of them — would be fired for implying what you are inferring. For the record, the president was never "denying the truth and deceiving us about Iraq." Just ask John Kerry, Jay Rockefeller, Hillary Clinton, Israel, the EU and everyone else who saw the prevailing intelligence at the time of the invasion and believed the same things.
Please tell me you are only being flip and funny on a Saturday, and are not going down the maddening "truthers" trail. The "deniers" and those peddling "deception" are the likes of ... well ... the "truthers."
