The Bush administration is at it again. Once, just once, it would be nice if the truth came out of Washington.
Call it "creative" accounting or just plain lying. With this administration's record, it's probably obvious which choice to make. Check out this story:

Everything we've been told about this war from its inception has been either an outright lie or a huge exaggeration. Weapons of mass destruction: LIE! Saddam linked to Al Queda: LIE! Iraq tied to 9/11: LIE! Bush saying his administration didn't "out" Valerie Plame: LIE! And on and on and on.
Now they can't even tell the truth about how much this obscene pre-emptive war has cost us.
I'll bet George W. Bush knows exactly how much this "war of choice" has added to his offshore accounts. I'll bet Dick "The Monster" Cheney knows exactly how much he's made from Halliburton as a direct result of this "war of choice" he and the other neo-cons started.
Why do 30%+ still approve of these monsters? Why can't they see what the rest of us see? Our country has survived world wars, a depression, a horrible civil war... I guess we can survive George W. Bush. But our reputation around the world won't be the same in my lifetime. Maybe my son and his generation can overcome the shame of this administration's evil and bring back the pride I once had in this great nation.
