Bush Lies Again

Bush is still lying about Saddam Hussein saying that Saddam was violating United Nation dictates about WMDs. Saddam was complying, grudgingly maybe, but since he did not have WMDs or a nuclear program in operation he could hardly give up what he didn't have. That puts Bush on the spot--attacking a soveriegn nation without justifiable cause; and I might add that that is a violation of international law.
Bush doesn't seem to mind transgressing laws--tatke the new flap about authorizing the NSA to eavesdrop on American citizens. The Republicans are rallying around their chief with "ends justify the means" arguments, using the old fear appeals, which are fallacious arguements and excuses designed to justify bad behavior.
This "creep" on American civil rights is just what happened to the Germans in 1933--that too was for the citizens "good". The Republicans are all too ready to save American's lives by taking away, one by one, their civil liberties. Anything can be wrapped up in patriotism and fear mongering "what if" appeals. You notice anytime their arguments gets whacked they go back to "you'll be sorry when they attack you" plaints. The "slippery slope" is steep and hard to crawl out of once you are in it.
Now the Republicans are trying to get Bush off the hook by using the "you too" argument; by dragging congressional leaders into it. Numbers are no excuse or justification for law breaking and anyone involved in the NSA affair is just as guilty as our "Leader" is.
