Abraham
Lincoln
#1
- America's Top-Ranked President
"I
am a firm believer
in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon
to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them
the real facts."
--Abraham
Lincoln
Last fall, Congressman Jim McDermott shocked American pundits
by suggesting President
Bush would mislead the American people in order to drag
them into war. Since then, the Guardian's Simon Tisdall called
Bush "America's great misleader," CIA officials
accused the president of using "cooked information"
to falsify Iraq's threat, and U.N. inspectors said the administration's
weapons of mass destruction evidence amounts to "garbage
after garbage after garbage." Bush has been caught lying
about everything from Iraq's nuclear capabilities and Al Qeada
links to blue chip economists' phantom reports. And as the
rationale for war has morphed from "weapons of mass destruction"
to "regime change" to "disarmament," to
"Iraqi liberation," a recent Gallup poll shows that
58% of Americans believe Bush would conceal evidence or lie
to win public support for his war. Honest Abe, he's not.
