Repeating A Lie Doesn't Make It True

Or does it? News veteran Helen Thomas makes some good points in her column, Saying U.N. backed war doesn't make it so, and I wholeheartedly agree with her. But the fact remains that despite the brazen lies, with nothing to back them up, and the tons of disastrous mistakes Bush has made at every turn during his administration, he has been able to lie and spin it into something that, according to polls, at least half of the nation believes.

"Bush, who has run out of excuses for the war, now wants everyone to believe that the United Nations gave him the go-ahead to invade Iraq when the world body passed a resolution warning there would be 'serious consequences' if Saddam Hussein did not disarm and give weapons inspectors free rein in Iraq.

'The commitments we make must have meaning,' he told the U.N. General Assembly last week. 'When we say serious consequences for the sake of peace, there must be serious consequences.'
But the U.N. resolution gave him no mandate for war.

No matter how many times Bush claims he had U.N. backing to attack the oil-rich nation, it doesn't make it so."

The world is paying attention. They want him gone. They think he is an idiot. They see the grave consequences that have arisen from Bush's policies. The average American is not paying attention, or like Bush and his cronies, are too filled with blind patriotism and arrogance to admit that grave mistakes have been made.
