No President Wants To Go To War?

That's what President Bush told Helen Thomas in a news conference this morning. Does he think that the world has amnesia? Hell yes he wanted to go to war. He was dying to go to war. If I remember correctly he said that he was sick and tired of waiting to go to war. HE DESPARATELY WANTED TO GO TO WAR.

He lied to the world so he could go to war. That, by the way, was what Helen Thomas's question was really about: the false pretenses that were used to justify going to war. No matter how many times the reasons changed, they all turned out to be false. So, finally he switched to platitudes, like defending our freedom and other assorted bullshitisms.

Helen Thomas has more integrity and intelligence in one fingernail than Bush has in his whole body. I wish she could have nailed him with the truth in a setting that he couldn't control.
