Beating a Dead Donkey Again and Again: Who Lied?

I know we've been over this subject of "Bush lied" again and again and again, but the Democrats lie machine is like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps lying and lying.

If readers need one excellent resource to counter the quagmire of Democrat lies about Iraq, and Bush, this article by John Podhoretz would be the one.

Podhoretz takes each assertion that Bush lied and counters it with the same government reports that Democrats seem to wish they had never helped to write.

He concludes with a masterful accounting of the lies told by Joe Wilson, who started much of this moonbattery in the first place:

Commentary: "In his press conference on the indictment against Libby, Patrick Fitzgerald insisted that lying to federal investigators is a serious crime both because it is itself against the law and because, by sending them on endless wild-goose chases, it constitutes the even more serious crime of obstruction of justice. By those standards, Wilson, who has repeatedly made false statements about every aspect of his mission to Niger, including whose idea it was to send him and what he told the CIA upon his return; who was then shown up by the Senate Intelligence Committee as having lied about the forged documents; and whose mendacity has sent the whole country into a wild-goose chase after allegations that, the more they are refuted, the more they keep being repeated, is himself an excellent candidate for criminal prosecution.

And so long as we are hunting for liars in this area, let me suggest that we begin with the Democrats now proclaiming that they were duped, and that we then broaden out to all those who in their desperation to delegitimize the larger policy being tested in Iraq, the policy of making the Middle East safe for America by making it safe for democracy, have consistently used distortion, misrepresentation, and selective perception to vilify as immoral a bold and noble enterprise and to brand as an ignominious defeat what is proving itself more and more every day to be a victory of American arms and a vindication of American ideals.

And just so your reference collection on Iraq is complete, here is "The Clinton Administration's Public Case Against Saddam Hussein" from the New American Century. Chock full of quotes, links and footnotes; enough to keep a "Bush lied" loony busy for weeks.
