DATABASE OF GOP LIES ON IRAQ

We are now in the midst of a news feast after five years of a famine. I actually heard a talking head on MSNBC this morning refer to certain journalists as "stenographers" for the White House. They are finally getting it!

On to the lying Bush Administration: This awesome resource was sent by Ken today. Thank you my friend, as always, for keeping us informed! LS

This is just plain fabulous. A few days ago I sent out Rep. Waxman's PDF listing 237 specific misleading statements made by Bush Administration officials about the threat posed by Iraq. This resource is now available as an online database at the address below.

I know some of the people on this list actually endure outraged emails from wingnut friends and relatives. With this resource you can refute whatever talking point they're repeating as fast as you receive it.

The information is presented very, very clearly. See the screenshot below.

Definitely visit this site, it's really cool. From the description:

Iraq on the Record is searchable by the the five Administration officials most responsible for providing public information and shaping public opinion on Iraq:

President George W. Bush
Vice President Dick Cheney
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell
Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice

It is also searchable by issue area:
Iraq's Nuclear Capabilities
Chemical and Biological Weapons
Iraq and Al-Qaeda
Iraq as an Urgent Threat

It is also searchable by keyword, such as "mushroom cloud", "uranium", or "bin Laden."
