Pants on Fire

On Real Time last week Bill Maher had on a woman who was the former speech writer for Dan Quayle. When she said that every president fires federal prosecutors Bill said that was a lie and we cannot continue to allow people to lie about that.

Fair enough.

So every time someone says that the Democrats don't have a plan for Iraq whoever is the talking head for the left has to say, "What about Joe Biden's plan? What about Jack Murtha's plan?" I would then go on to say, "Do you think that this administration has had any plan for Iraq beyond removing Sadaam? Where are the Republican plans past stay the course?"

What about the funding? First off the answer is that why, in the fifth year of the war, do we need supplemental and emergency spending bills to fund the war? Why is funding for the war(s) not included in the budget? Is it a surprise that we're still there? Secondly, the Democrats have funded the war, twice now. But Mr. Bush doesn't like to answer to anyone and wants his money free of any requirements for performance, similar to all of his previous job experiences.

And finally the big lie that it doesn't matter how we got in this war, we're there now and have to deal with it. True on it's face but it does matter how we got in this war. It does matter that we were lied to and deliberately mislead by Bush & Co. It matters that Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney should be impeached for lying to us and allowing over 3,300 of our soldiers to be killed in a war of choice.
