Its your future...if you don't take action, who will?

Canadians who seek to save their country, must therefore seek to cancel NAFTA, as the legal basis for the greed-driven and fear associated pursuit of the destruction of Canada, under the pretext of the "War of Terrorism".

"In short, the Vice President & President Bush lied and 4000 soldiers died--AND 1,000,000 Iraqis."

A betrayal of trust or confidence.

(DOD) Violation of the allegiance owed to one's sovereign or state; betrayal of one's country.

Our government has signed papers without the peoples consent? Also the closed door signing of Legal documents with a Confirmed
War government to Further an AMERICAN agenda is a breech the oath Harper had taken to protect Canada

The restoration of the rights of workers in America and throughout the North American continent will begin when we repeal NAFTA. NAFTA has spurred a $360 billion trade deficit, costing 363,000 high-paying jobs, most in manufacturing. This is called free trade. NAFTA has attacked federal laws meant to protect worker rights, human rights and environmental quality principles. No NAFTA, no Fast Track. I oppose fast track to protect democracy and to protect American jobs.

WASHINGTON -- A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

The study was posted Tuesday on the website of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.


"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al Qaeda or both.

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al Qaeda," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."

Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.

Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al Qaeda, the study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al Qaeda.

The center said the study was based on a database created with public statements over the two years beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and information from more than 25 government reports, books, articles, speeches and interviews.

"The cumulative effect of these false statements -- amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts -- was massive, with the media coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical months in the run-up to war," the study concluded.

"Some journalists -- indeed, even some entire news organizations -- have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical.

  • You just have to look at body language to spot a lying politician, just watch the mouth. If it moves, they're bullshitting.

  • Yes Bush is a terrible liar, he should be jailed or hung. What about Keith lying by omission the other night doing the story about the republican party and not mentioning Ron Paul's anti war stance. Not really fair and ballance almost as bad as Bill O'Rielly. Don't trust the media.

  • What a pathetic country and culture.

    Slavery, crack, methamphetamines, gulf war, Afghan war, Vietnam, Kennedys assassinated, King assassinated, slums and ghettos, record prison population, car-jackings, school shootings, serial killers.

  • wow where's the new totals? can't fucking wait..oh yeah..olberman got fired..there goes the first amendment..132 days left unless he gets impeached if the military can keep the crazies in their boxes, don't hold your breath

  • And nothing will happen in the home of the brave.

  • oo sorry, forget it then....

  • They are all puppets, that is what I meant.

  • yea one president lied about a blow job the other lied about a war that killed 4000 american soldiers and hundreds of thousands of iraqis for absolutely nothing.

    not much difference at all...

  • You are insanely naive. As if there is any difference between one president and another.

  • All Clinton did was lie once about something that wasn't anybody's business.

    What a weird place the USA is.

  • Olbermann has never bashed Ron Paul! You want to be pissed off, be pissed off at the corrupt Republican Party that treats Paul like shit! He is the only one running on the Republican ticket that isn't a corrupt piece of shit! That is why the Republican Party won't support him; Paul isn't corrupted! (smile)
