BUSH LIES/SPEAKS FALSELY/WHATEVER

I meant to blog on this last week, but I wanted to make sure I had a video clip to back this up. Check out what Bush said regarding the Israelebanon ceasefire:

"[http://video.lisarein.com/thepete/stuff/Cine_Del_Arbusto/dn20060815bush_hezbo_comment.mp4|Hezbollah attacked Israel], Hezbollah started the crisis and Hezbollah suffered a defeat in this crisis," said President Bush.

That was a quote from [http://www.voanews.com/english/2006-08-14-voa40.cfm|an August 14, 2006 article] at VOANews.com and is accurate--click on the quote above to check out a video clip from Democracy Now to see that's exactly what Bush said. Now, I added the bold there for a reason. Back on July 22, [http://thepete.com/israel-invades-lebanon-but-why/|I blogged on the whole Israelebanon thing]. I quoted from [http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/22/mideast/index.html|a July 22, 2006 article] at NYTimes.Com (that's the New York Times website, mind you) that explained the conflict began when Hezbo kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. Here's the exact quote again:

Hezbollah guerrillas fired barrages of more than 100 rockets from southern Lebanon into Israel on Saturday, continuing the conflict that began with militants capturing two Israeli soldiers.

This is the same explanation I've been hearing/reading since the conflict began. Yet, Bush seems to think that kidnapping two Israeli soldiers equates to "an attack." He is deliberately lying to make us think Hezbo did something much worse than they really did. When are we going to stop this? When are the Democrats going to grow spines and start going after the Republican/Neo-Con liars? Just curious...
