Ari Fleischer was Bush’s press secretary, aka Minister of Propaganda, aka Presidential Nanny, aka King George’s Lord High Buttwiper, aka the royal farter, aka Secretary of Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

“The reason to go to war is to save lives.”
~ Ari Fleischer, 2003-02-25

“You heard the President today say in the Oval Office, one of his greatest worries are the innocents of Iraq, who will be targeted by Saddam Hussein for killing, by Saddam, in an effort to create another ploy around the world where Saddam kills his own people and tries to blame it on somebody else.”
~ Ari Fleischer, 2003-02-25
If so, then why is Bush killing them too?

“This is not about public relations. This is about protecting the lives of the American people…If Saddam Hussein destroys the missiles that he said he never had… you’ve got to wonder what other weapons does he have?”
~ Ari Fleischer
The missiles were no threat to the American people. They could not even make it half way to Israel much less America. The missiles in question were not secret. They simply went 20 miles further than the allowed 90 mile limit.

“Think about what you are saying. You’re saying that leaders of other nations are buyable.”
~ Ari Fleischer, 2003-02-25
The press guffawed with laughter since The press guffawed with laughter since Bush had just offered Turkey a $28 billion bribe.

“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.”
~ Gore Vidal (1925-10-03—)
