Oops I did it again

No I'm not talking about Britney Spears, the Bush administration admits to making another false assertion that terrorism was on the decline. But what deterrent is there for making false statements or using incorrect data in a speech that has the desired impact you want and then make a small retraction a year later that no one will remember? First the smoking gun WMD speech at the UN and now this. Sorry Colon the creditability tank reads "EMPTY".

A State Department report that incorrectly showed a decline last year in terrorism worldwide was a "big mistake," Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) said Sunday. "Very embarrassing. I am not a happy camper over this. We were wrong...

yeah I saw that, pretty much not surprising though, all of these false claims are just a pattern of the usual behaviour on the part of this admin. Chalk this up as just another one for the gullible.

what a pompous ass

quote:
"It's a numbers error. It's not a political judgment that said, `Let's see if we can cook the books.' We can't get away with that now. Nobody was out to cook the books. Errors crept in,"


numbers? this guy is so lying

quote:
"I am regretful that this has happened. And we're going to get it fixed, we're going to get it corrected, and that's the best I can do,"


LIAR!!!

The April report said attacks had declined last year to 190, down from 198 in 2002 and 346 in 2001. The 2003 figure would have been the lowest level in 34 years and a 45 percent drop since 2001, Bush's first year as president.

The report also showed the virtual disappearance of attacks in which no one died.


quote:
"There's a new terrorist threat information center that compiles this data under the CIA. And we are still trying to determine what went wrong with the data and why we didn't catch it in the State Department,"


a new threat information center? LIAR!

quote:
"It's a very big mistake. And we are not happy about this big mistake,"


whatever mr. liar liar pants on fire


quote:
"But based on the data we had within the report, there was a suggestion that the number of incidents had dropped and it was the lowest since 1969," he added. "That turns out not to have been correct. We were wrong. We will correct it."


god, where is the accountability with this asshole?

WTF? We will find chemical rounds in the vast ammo dumps around Iraq. Kinda pointless now. If we find them, they probably didn't know they were there to begin with. If Iraq opened their arsenal for inspection we wouldn't even be there now. They had an attitude problem though, and self inflicted a war.
