Oh, no, Mr. Bush, not ANOTHER lie about Iraq!

The Bush administration has been caught in yet ANOTHER lie re its Iraq weapons claims. I know, I know, everyone has Bush deception fatigue at this point. We barely can keep track.

But just think for a moment: back when Clinton was in office, the brouhaha was all about whether he lied about having "…sex with that woman." The press went wild for weeks, if not months, over his "…what the meaning of is, is." Gleefully wild. Over that one stupid lie that he should only have told his wife.

Today, the mainstream press can't keep up with revelation after revelation after revelation that the Bush administration justification for invading another country was built on lies and covered up with more lies. (Are we all caught up on the Plamegate deception discoveries of last week yet?) The MSM's response to each new revelation is muted because it no longer seems like news. "Oh, yeah, caught 'em in another lie about why they invaded Iraq, ho-hum."

Isn't that, in and of itself, astounding?

Anyway, enough editorializing, here's the deception discovery of the day:

>>On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."

... A secret fact-finding mission to Iraq -- not made public until now -- had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement.<<
