«administration's house of cards is tumbling down and down»
«we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators» said vice president dick cheney on 16 march 2003. i honestly can't accept the administration and supporters could have truly believed that iraqi streets would be carpeted with flowers welcoming US troops after the attack, invasion and occupation of the country and the toppling of its barbaric regime. they were told this wouldn't be the case even in editorial after editorial right along with warnings regarding the most awful of flaws: the lack of a post-attack, invasion and occupation plan and strategy for anything other than war-profiteering and awarding no-bid contracts.cynthia tucker reminds us in an op/ed column for yahoo! news that as candidate, bush pledged to restore integrity to the white house and ran on his claims to be a man of strong character -- a politician of plain speaking and straight talk who wouldn't lie to the american people. instead, [the bush] administration has produced more dissembling and distortion, more fabrications and pseudo-facts, than any white house in recent memory -- richard nixon's included. the administration lies brazenly and repeatedly, refusing to back down even when caught in the web of its own contradictions.
