Truth or Consequences

Frank Rich, returning to the NY Times OpEd page today with "Bush of a Thousand Days", writes,

... the [Iraq] war's failures were manifestly foretold by the [Bush] administration's arrogance and haste during the run-up.

A new defense or press secretary changes nothing. The only person who can try to save the administration from itself in Iraq is the president. He can start telling the truth in the narrow window of time he has left and initiate a candid national conversation about our inevitable exit strategy. Or he can wait for events on the ground in Iraq and political realities at home to do it for him.

There is something wrong with the picture when a self-professed born-again Christian—Bush #43—refuses to 'fess up. People who continually berate the immorality of the left on sexual orientation, a woman's right to choose, the quality of end-of-life, etc., etc., etc. ... seem to have a hard time with "the truth".

The Old Testament commands its adherents to not bear false witness. Jesus commands his followers to seek the truth.

In opposition is Jack Nicholoson's wacko character, Colonel Jessup, from A FEW GOOD MEN, "You can't handle the truth."

Had enough?!

Throw the bums out!
