Bush Credo: Tell the Truth to the Public and You’re Fired
February 2, 2007
Today Reuters reports that Dub-Yuh will “request slightly more than $100 billion to cover war operations . . . for the rest of ths year and an even larger amount for fiscal 2008 … ”
This reminded me of a December 17, 2002 Christian Science Monitor article reporting that the chairman of Dub-Yuh’s council of economic advisers, Larry Lindsay, was promptly fired after he “told a newspaper that an Iraq war could cost $200 billion.”
“Tell the truth to the public and you’re fired” is Dub-Yuh’s credo, as anyone knows who observed how he fired all those military generals a few weeks ago for telling the truth about how things were going in Iraq.
How naive and foolish of Larry Lindsay to think that Dub-Yuh and Cheney wanted his honest, professional opinion. (The Christian Science Monitor article noted that Dick “Elmer Fudd” Cheney personally fired Lindsay).
