A Blog For All: A Gun Isn't A Gun If It Isn't Loaded....

Big Lizard Dafydd takes apart the argument against the Bush Administration (the Bush lied meme) that has circulated among the Left since 2003. It's tough for that argument to hold water against the facts, but the tenacity of that argument sticking around is a testament to the lengths that the Democrats and the media has gone to continue distorting the facts and the Congressional Record on the matter. You see, Congress deliberated going to war against Iraq in 2003 - and many of those Democrats that are now prancing about saying that Bush lied had 1) access to all the information the President did; 2) voted for the war; 3) voiced their support numerous times; and 4) now oppose the war on partisan political grounds.

Opponents to the Administration are peturbed that the President is now firing back at his critics. They complain that he's politicizing the process or that he's raising the level of political rancor to new levels. Hogwash.

The far Left Democrats in Congress needed a smackdown because they've gone too far in their own overheated and overhyped rhetoric.

I wish I came up with this:

But the Democratic Party has a terrible problem: they desperately want to paint Bush as a mindless warmonger who was in possession of credible intelligence that Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction (despite the fact that we actually found those "large stockpiles" that were promised -- see here and here, most recently), but who "lied" about it just to get us into that war. But they have no answer for the large number of very big-profile Democrats who either looked at the intel and agreed with Bush -- or who couldn't even trouble themselves to look at the intel before voting.

I visualize John Hinderaker standing atop his desk and doing the "Dilbert dance" at the thought that Bush has finally awaked from his year-and-a-half slumber and picked a fight with the lying slime who have done him and the Republican Party -- and the country -- so much damage already.

If John has room up there, I'd like to join him. Now if only Bush would also finally take on the numbskulls who insist that a chemical rocket isn't a chemical weapon if the chemicals are not actually loaded, just sitting alongside in a 55-gallon drum inside the same camouflaged bunker.

Yup. And a gun isn't a gun if you just unload it.
