When Is a Lie Not a Lie? When Bill Clinton Agrees With It
Rush Limbaugh employs his "truth detector" to demonstrate why the story about the phony intelligence linking Iraq and al-Qaeda is all wrong. It doesn't prove anything because . . . Bill Clinton said there were links, too!
I continue to marvel at the spectacle of people who, to this day, insist (and not without reason) that Bill Clinton never told the truth in his entire life, now citing Clinton as a witness that Bush wasn't lying about Iraq either.
Besides, so what if Clinton believed it? The fact is that the Bushies sent this guy off to Egypt to be tortured--a notion to which Limbaugh responds with a mock "gasp"--in order to get him to tell them what they wanted to hear, then used that "intelligence" to justify their war. Whether or not Clinton believed that Iraq and al-Qaeda were connected is irrelevant. There's no doubt that he could have done exactly the same thing as Bush and that these so-called conservatives would be completely opposed to the war that resulted and demanding his head for these lies.
