9/15/08: Cheney II : The Sequel

I like some movie sequels, but Cheney II?? Too scary..

On Thursday 9/11/08, while speaking to troops departing for Iraq at Fort Wainwright, Palin linked the "righteous war" in Iraq to 9/11 - 5 years after the Bush administration admitted there was no connection!! Can't believe she would do such a thing on 9/11 - shameful.

Palin Channels Cheney's 9/11-Iraq Falsehoods
When everyone's attention was focusing on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's less-than-reassuring interview about foreign policy with ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson, the Republican nominee for vice president was off delivering a speech in which she suggested a dramatically greater ignorance of recent history and international affairs than was on display in the interview...

To me the real issue is one of trust: I'm just tired to being lied to by my government. And from what I've seen, McCalin/Palin are just more of Bush/Cheney when it comes to the truth: they will say whatever is convenient, whether it's the truth or not. There have already been so many times McCain & Palin have "stretched" the truth, gone back on what they said, didn't know (even on matters they're supposed to be experts on - eg McCain on the so-called Iraq/Pakistan border or whether Al-Queda is Shiite or Sunni - see http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15836.html for a list).

Yes, you can be compassionate and say he was just confused, but even then, is a confused, senile old man really who we want as the next President? I just want our next President to be honest with us: in Obama I trust.
