Wrapping lies in the flag

obviously, rove is back in the saddle... they're all singin' from the same page, the vicious edge is back, patriotism is used to silence critics and seeking truth and knowledge is branded as giving aid and comfort to terrorists... it's same ol', same ol'... but will it work on a public that has started to emerge from its trance...?

all together now... a-one, a-two, a-three...

[Bush] said the troops in Iraq deserve to know "that their elected leaders who voted to send them to war continue to stand behind them."

"I point out that some of the critics today believed themselves in 2002 that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser, said Thursday at a news briefing.

For those critics to ignore their own past statements, exposes the hollowness of their current attacks."

it's hard to find the right words to characterize such tactics... all of them have been so overused - unscrupulous, vile, manipulative, dishonest - the list goes on and on... they need to leave... all of them...
