More fuckin' lies and coverups

Of course this guy is not an American AND he has a book to promote, unlike the selfless members of the Bush Administration who merely want to be worshipped like royalty ordained by the Almighty:

A year after Bush administration claims about Iraqi "bioweapons trailers" were discredited by American experts, U.S. officials were still suppressing the findings, says a senior member of the CIA-led Iraq inspection team.

At one point, former U.N. arms inspector Rod Barton says, a CIA officer told him it was "politically not possible" to report that the White House claims were untrue. In the end, Barton says, he felt "complicit in deceit."

Barton, an Australian biological weapons specialist, discusses the 2004 events in "The Weapons Detective," a memoir of his years as an arms inspector, being published Monday in Australia by Black Inc. Agenda...

...In the second half of February 2004, the book says, the newly arrived senior CIA officer in the Iraq Survey Group — also unidentified — told Barton he couldn't mention the trailers in a report scheduled for March.

"I don't care that they are not biological trailers. It's politically not possible," Barton recalls him saying.

The Australian says he wrote in his diary afterward, "The only reason we are going down this route is the politics in Washington."

When the Iraq Survey Group's progress report was filed in March 2004, and new chief inspector Duelfer testified to Congress, the trailers were not mentioned.

For this and other reasons, "remaining in the ISG was to be complicit in deceit," Barton writes. He and other British and Australian experts quit the inspectors group during this period.

Despite what Mr. Lincoln said it appears that the Bush Administration believes that the United States has a government of the wankers, by the wankers, and for the wankers.

Cue Lee Greenwood,


If tomorrow all the things were gone you’d worked for all your life,

You'd have to start again with workin' kids and wife.

You better thank your lucky stars to be still living here today,

‘Cause the GOP still stands for marching freedom and you have to play.




And I’m proud to be a Republican where at least the lies are free.

And I won’t address the men who died, who fought that lie for me.

And I’d gladly stand away from you and let you defend her happily.

‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this plan, God bless the G.O.P.


From the exurbs of Minnesota, to the born agains of Tennessee,

from the thrown switch in Texas, lets pee in the shining sea,

From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s the smell of an American shart,
and it’s time to stand and say:


I’m proud to be a Republican where if I'm rich its free.

And I won’t admit those who died, fightin' that lie for me.

And I’d gladly stand over here as you defend my crazy policy.


‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I fooled you chumps, God bless the G.O.P.
