Liberal Icon Bob Woodward: "Bush didn't lie"

[Gd5150]

Not that it matters to the ignorant left, but even Bob Woodward has now admitted what has always been known: President George W Bush didn't lie, nor did he even emphasize Iraq's WMD's as a reason to liberate Iraq.

Anyone who wants to know the truth just need read the 2003 State of the Union. Bush spelled out all of the reasons why liberation of Iraq would be beneficial to the world.

President George W Bush 2003 State of the Union: "If American forces step back before Baghdad is secure, the Iraqi government would be overrun by extremists on all sides." As we have now seen is exactly what has happened thanks to the ignorant leftwing foreign policy of President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But really the best proponent of successful liberation was President Clinton in 1998 who actually did emphasis Iraq's WMD's: "Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons."

As everyone knows, President Bush had the courage and determination to see this process through. At the end of his 2nd term, the middle east was well on it's way to being a better place for itself, and for the western free world. Unfortunately, what we know now, is the US decided to elect an unqualified disaster as president, and gains have been utterly thrown aside for God knows what reason. Treason possibly, a deep hatred for freedom and liberty, no one will ever really know President Obama's reasoning. His actions have never made sense to anyone living outside a leftwing fantasy land.

Yeah, Bob Woodward is actually a lifetime Republican. He didnt' vote for Nixon in 1972 (he didn't vote at all that year using the same argument that Noory uses) and he may not have voted for Ford in 1976 due to Ford pardoning Nixon, but he's voted Republican in every other election.

As far as I'm aware, and I didn't do much research, how someone votes is still a secret (you can be registered, depending on the State or Federal District, for a Party or not and still vote for someone in the other Party or independent on the final election.) I guess in theory the meta-data could be analyzed if he was the last voter in a certain precinct and look at the last vote cast. Or if someone had hacked the computer, if they use such in his voting district....

I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in All The President's Men.  And, if not, I've heard Carl Bernstein, who is a liberal and who voted for McGovern in 1972 mention it at least once and probably more than once.

That article also states, though it's left out of the headline, that he lives in Washington D.C and and needs to vote in the Democratic Primary if he wants to have any say in the election.  I'm pretty sure Bob Novak was also a registered Democrat for the same reason as is Jim Bohanan, though he is only a far right winger on foreign policy (and, because of that, is constantly wrong on foreign policy)

Yes, it is in All The President's Men:

“Woodward, a registered Republican, did not vote. He couldn't decide whether he was more uneasy with the disorganization and naïve idealism of McGovern's campaign or with Richard Nixon's conduct. And he believed that not voting enabled him to be more objective in reporting on Watergate - a vier Bernstein regarded as silly. Bernstein voted for McGovern, unenthusiastically and unhesitatingly, then bet in the office pool that Nixon would win with 54 percent.

-- Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward”


― Carl Bernstein, All the President's Men

Anybody who reads Woodward's books (I've read his first two books (only two books?) on Bill Clinton) would know that he is a conservative.

I've also heard Bernstein state in interviews that Woodward remained a Republican, even if he is now a nominally registered Democrat.

Woodward for the most part tries to maintain his objectivity in both books, but it's pretty clear in the first book "The Agenda" which covers Bill Clinton's 1992 election and his first years in power before the Republican take over of Congress that he is a big supporter of Clinton's more conservative agenda items of balancing the budget (though the idea that Republicans are actually better at that than Democrats is laughable) and NAFTA and is a big opponent of the Clinton health care proposal.

In the second book "The Campaign" which covers Bill Clinton's 3rd and 4th year in office as well as The Republican Primary campaign, it's pretty obvious Woodward supports Bob Dole.
