Why Lie?
President Bush continues to play with his time machine:
How about on August 6, 2001, when you read a presidential daily briefing entitled "Bin Laden determined to strike in US"? Did "we" think oceans protected us then?
How about on February 26, 1993, when Islamic terrorists detonated a car bomb in the garage of the World Trade Center in New York City? Did oceans protect us then?
How about in 1959, when the Soviets deployed the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile? Did oceans protect us then?
Why does President Bush continue to insist that prior to 9/11 he thought "oceans protected us"? He can't possibly have believed it.
- "The first lesson is, is that oceans can no longer protect us. You know, when I was coming up in the '50s in Midland, Texas, it seemed like we were pretty safe. In the '60s it seemed like we were safe."
