Little Bush lies.
Sometimes it seems as if George W can't stop himself from lying, even when it's a matter of no import and when the truth is easy to ascertain. Yesterday he just had to take credit for Iraq being able to send a team to the Olympics, even though it's pretty
easy to prove that they've been there through most of Saddam's time.
Today, because the world acted with courage and moral clarity, those nations are free, and their athletes are competing in the Olympic Games.
Notice also the other lie in the words "the world". It wasn't the whole "world", it was pretty much the US and the UK, with some help from some other countries, but less than one-fifth of those in the world.
It's very strange. Not "evil" though; it's just sad. And definitely pathological. I don't think he's even aware that he's lying. Via
