Bush Lied About WMD in Iraq.....Oh, Wait...

Many on the left who decry the ouster of Sadaam Hussein loved to taunt President Bush with chants like "Bush lied, people died!". They seemed to ignore that the consensus opinion of security agencies (apparently consensus is legitimate in "science" like global warming but not in intelligence gathering) worldwide never disputed the weapons of mass destruction claim by the Bush administration. They even more conveniently forgot that Hussein had slaughtered his own people using chemical weapons. When the administration began to backtrack from its claims that British intelligence indicated Hussein had been seeking yellowcake uranium for enrichment to weaponize, the left celebrated the apparent "lie". Enter Wikileaks and the sudden revelation that there was still quiet the stockpile of chemical weapons and there was apparently more yellowcake than there are urinal cakes in Iraq. Funny how this has been out there apparently since 2006 when American Thinker first reported the revelations when it was revealed from a declassified report (I highly recommend the full article). The left doesn't care about facts or logic, it subsists on lies and emotion.

Well, That Took About a Week

Democrats, who have been relentless in calling Republicans the party of no and obstructionists despite the fact that Democrats haven't needed a single Republican vote to pass legislation for two years now, were painfully unaware of the concept of irony today. Having reached a compromise with President Obama on allowing the Bush era tax rates to continue across the board, the blissfully unaware (and unimaginably moronic) House Democratic caucus was overheard chanting "just say no!" in a behind closed doors meeting to block the compromise. I'm not sure if I want the Democratic Party to implode or not. Sometimes they're just too funny. Of course that's also one of the main reasons they probably shouldn't be allowed to govern.
