Karl Rove recently said that:
…the Internet for the Left of the Democratic Party has served as a way to mobilize hate and anger — hate and anger, first and foremost, at this President and Conservatives…
And I do hate this President and the enablers of his destructive administration. But this hate wasn’t born in a vacuum. It’s a hatred that has been nurtured through nearly six years of lies, reality and more lies. Just this week we’ve heard from the President:
Obviously, we’d like violence to go down, and that’s what the operation in Baghdad is intending to do, starting in the capital, is to reduce violence.
And from reality:
Insurgents foiled heightened security in Baghdad and killed more than two dozen people Saturday…
And tomorrow on the Sunday talk show circuit, we will hear the enablers explain that the media is ignoring the progress, and freedom in Iraq is truly on the march…
During today’s radio address, Bush said that:
I traveled to Baghdad to personally show our Nation’s commitment to a free Iraq…
Yet a few days ago he told the troops in Iraq:
Today, I have come to not only thank you, but to look Prime Minister Maliki in the eyes — to determine whether or not he is as dedicated to a free Iraq as you are, and I believe he is.
The reality?
Bush’s job approval remains below 40 percent, a majority believes that the Iraq war was a mistake, and a strong plurality prefers Democrats winning in the fall.
And what did our ally and partner in the Global War on Terror have to say after the death of al-Zarqawi?
We believe this is the beginning of the end of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
That sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Reminds one of the words of Dick Cheney just over a year and 878 deaths ago:
I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.
Last throes, beginning of the end…and reality?
A series of bombs killed at least 43 people in and near Baghdad on Saturday, police said, in one of the bloodiest days in Iraq since a U.S. military air strike killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi 10 days ago.
Delusion and lies…on and on it goes. But let’s finish with the biggest lie of all. In 2000, George Bush said that:
As president, I will work to build a culture that respects life.
And when the tragic milestone of 2500 casualties in Iraq was reached?
Q Tony, American deaths in Iraq have reached 2,500. Is there any response or reaction from the President on that?
MR. SNOW: It’s a number.
Rove is right. I do hate them.
