Now bushco doesn't even try to hide how badly they lie…

Just as the lies get thicker than San Francisco fog comes this, via the Huffington Post, one of the most idiotic, obviously obvious lies I have ever seen in print, a lie that is so clearly a lie that it puts to shame the greater art of lying in general or lying for fun and profit or lying about the systematic genocide America is inflicting upon the Iraqis in pursuit of their national resources. It's not even a well-told lie that anyone at some future date would care to lay claim to (Hey, honey! C'mere quick, they used my lie after all!). And it has within the lie a conflict which cannot be reconciled:

The second half of 2007 saw violence drop dramatically in Iraq, but the progress came at a high price: The year was the deadliest for the U.S. military since the 2003 invasion, with 899 troops killed.

And bush/cheney wonder why no one believes them anymore.

Makes sense to me that a dramatic reduction in violence results in the greatest number of Americans fatalities since 2003.

If peace breaks out, we could lose more soldiers than ever according to this rubric.

Some sick minds had to struggle with this lie. eh?
