Study confirms Bush Administration lied prior to Iraq war
A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
President George W. Bush and seven of his administration’s top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

On the eve of the Republican Party caucuses in Louisiana, the slight Republican congressman from Texas outlined his unconventional presidential platform, touching on everything from abolishing the Federal Reserve to immediately bringing American troops home.

“The Louisiana caucus results are not in yet (will be in a few hours), but things are looking very positive for Ron Paul.
We have heard a rumor that in Natchitoches Ron Paul won 11 of the 15 Delegates and that there were less than 100 people at some sites, some Ron Paul supporters are saying “Dr. Paul must be doing well, since I haven’t seen anything about it on the so called news channels”.
