House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio led the way once more in the latest Bush team effort to twist the facts concerning the Iraq War.  The reason for this steady effort is that they know, even George W. himself with his limited knowledge and perspective, that relating directly to the facts would destroy their position.

Here is the latest zero hour panic rhetoric from John Boehner as quoted in a February 14 Washington Post story by Jonathan Weisman:

"We are engaged in a global war now for our very way of life.  And every drop of blood that's been spilled in defense of liberty and freedom from the American Revolution to this very moment is for nothing if we're unwilling to stand up and fight this threat."

Boehner's rhetoric is so twisted that it appears to have been delivered in the expectation that a majority of Americans at this critical stage can be manipulated as easily as the hypnotized dittoheads of Rush Limbaugh or the Fox zombies of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.
