   "Another double standard?" Meaning: Clinton lied
about fellatio, getting himself in trouble = Bush lied
about the imminence of the threat from Iraq, getting
thousands dead and homeless and squandering decades'
worth of good will?  No, I didn't mean that.

  You mean, they both "lied" about Saddam trying to
get nuclear weapons? I don't doubt that Saddam would
have gotten them if he could, and don't fault either
president for being concerned about it.

  At issue is Bush riding roughshod over world opinion
to promote this war, right in the midst of Saddam
allowing more and more inspection, due to world
pressure. It's about this particular dictator being so
much more "important" and "threatening," due, perhaps,
to the oil reserves? It's about Bush's failures
domestically, and the specter of his "administration"
being uncovered for the dupes of the large
corporations they are, requiring that he fill the
airwaves and minds of dittoheads throughout the land
with patriotic images of vengeful fervor, to get out
of the hot seat.

  It's laughable to hear the dittoheads equate Bush's
lies with Clinton's...
