Bush lie #2,183,419
Dawkins writes:
Bush is a liar, and a devastatingly mentally handicapped person. Not in any metaphorical or hyperbolic sense, but in a very literal sense: he is mentally deranged.
This weekend, he said these words:
"I am satisfied that I never saw any intelligence that indicated there was going to be an attack on America.”
He was talking about the Aug. 6 Presidential Daily Brief titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." that “cited evidence of active Qaeda cells in the United States, as well as reports that members of the terrorist organization had conducted recent surveillance of a federal building in Manhattan and could be preparing to stage hijackings.”
Commenting on this terrorist threat warning, the president said:
"The P.D.B. was no indication of a terrorist threat."
