We listened to years of absolute bullshit about OBL from Cheney & Rumsfeld.
The Bush cabal tried to manipulate us in most cynical way possible after September 11.

Check this out, it's Uncle Don with Tim Russert on bin Laden's bunker (which of course never existed):

1. I saw that on "The Power Of Nightmares". One of Russert's more pathetic performances and he
had many.

7. Yes another great show
I've watched so many that I now almost sit back and watch
the fun on DU with their 'war porn' posts as the wars continue.

My friend Swamprat had a bunch of great toons he did on Timmy.

11. I have to watch Temple of Doom again.
Given Rumsfeld's standard of ethics, he likely just had someone rip off the idea.

9. The "mountain fortress" was another lie to cover the White House decision to not put enough
Edited on Mon May-09-11 02:36 PM by leveymg
troops to cover all the mountain pass exits into Pakistan. I didn't say that about Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld and Gen. Franks did that - it was Mike Coll, a number of CIA officers on the ground, and a 2009 Senate Report that concluded that.

It's lies upon lies to cover-up lies, all along. Timmy was just one (particularly influential) cog in that lie machine.

Maybe they should get a Emmy instead. Or a Duzy.

12. I got into an argument with a co-worker
about this shit when it was happening. This guy is a chemist, generally a pretty bright guy, that really bought the idea that bin Laden and his merry band of whackos could drill out thousands of square feet of mountain, put in hydroelectric power and yet remain completely hidden from outside detection.

He also bought, hook line and sinker, the whole WMD scam that shrub and cronies passed off as reason to invade Iraq. Finally three years after the invasion he bought me the case of beer we bet that there were no WMD's.

13. If the lie is big enough, smart people ask how it could make sense
instead of how it's possible, I guess. At least you got your beer.
