You're right they don't give them away. George Bush blew the myth out of the water that an Ivy League degree was special. He lives by the rules that the only things important in this world are how much money you have and who you know. If you have enough money and connections you can buy an education and even the highest office in the land. All his life George has been telling people do you know who I am?, the rules don't apply to me and don't mess with me or you'll regret it. He appointed cronies with no experience or qualifications to important, responsible positions. Now some of his supporters on this board are saying experience matters? Where were they the last 8 years?
When has Bush told the truth?
We will withdraw from Iraq if the Iraq government asks us to, Iraqi's Oppose Withdrawal Timetable, Iraq presented an imminent threat to the US and its allies, The Bush administration repeatedly has constantly tried to link Iraq to the September 11th attacks, The Bush administration religiously chanted the contention that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction as its basis for a war, Bush charged that “ . . more than a hundred Democrats in the House and the Senate -- who had access to the same intelligence -- voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power, Defense Donald Rumsfeld claimed that the number of troops in Iraq is not a decision I make. This is a decision that's made by the military commanders. [Retired] Gen. [Tommy R.] Franks, Gen. [John P.] Abizaid, Gen. [George W.] Casey [Jr.] have decided what those numbers are, And I have yet to hear from our commanders on the ground that they need more troops. President Bush (11/04/04), FISA could not have provided the speed and agility required for the early warning detection system."
I could go on and on.
