  1. "Congressman admits Democrats "stretched the facts," misled anti-war supporters about supposed plans for ending War"

    Seems that anti-war supporters couldn't "handle the truth" and their "integrity challenged" congressmen duly complied.

    wonder if you'll find this story at the puffingtonpost, which seems to be your news outlet of choice. rofl

  2. You guys really should read Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and The Truth (With Jokes). It presents unvarnished truth with liberal commentary. For Republicans to accuse Democrats of distortion is the height of irony, not to mention hypocrisy. Franken's documented and readily verifiable compilation of the Republicans' War on Truth staggers the imagination.

    Oh, yeah. The reconstruction of post-war Iraq is in danger of becoming "the biggest corruption scandal in history," Transparency International has warned:

    And that was 3 years ago! Are we there yet?

  4. An internal audit of some $8 billion paid to U.S. and Iraqi contractors found that nearly every transaction failed to comply with federal laws or regulations aimed at preventing fraud, in some cases lacking even basic invoices explaining how the money was spent.

    ---------------------------

    Nice opening "let's piss someone off with this one" sentence "if they failed to comply, blah blah," this is not evidence of fraud. The laws and regulations may be pointless and useless anyways This is a war, things need to get done with expediency, suppose the delay for the armour plate on Hummers was waiting on paper work compliance, I'm sure you'd let the paper work slide.
