Ok, on the "I went to war" quote. I tried to Google it and came up with one site which is
www.sourcewatch.org . This site operates under the Center for Media and Democracy which looks to be a...um...Progressive website. Here's a pic that I pulled off their front page:
Undaunted...I proceeded to follow their directions for retrieving the original CNN article where Bush was purported so say he "Went to War". Here is the article:
Bush's visit to West Virginia last week included a chat with Bob Kiss, Democratic speaker of the West Virginia House of Delegates.
While they hail from different parties, they found plenty to talk about -- although while both have twins, Kiss' 5-week-old twin boys aren't quite old enough to cause much trouble.
Kiss told Bush that if he wasn't doing anything the next morning, he could come by for their 3 a.m. feeding. Kiss said Bush joked, "I've been to war. I've raised twins. If I had a choice, I'd rather go to war."
So, two things come to mind. First this isn't a quote, it's hearsay. A democratic politician said Bush said this. Even if we take the democratic politician at his word, it looks like Bush said this in a joking manner anyways. To meet the definition of a lie, I guess you would have to think Bush really wanted this guy to think he had actually gone to war and wasn't just making a joke about raising twins.
Is this really the best you guys can come up with? Come on, this guy is supposed to be an evil pathological liar...
