Statue Antics

Just in case you didn't make the connection; try contrasting the statue that went down in London today with another statue that went down a while ago.

The point isn't that Bush is worse than Saddam. He's not. More dangerous to world peace, probably, but Saddam was a very very very very very very very bad man. That being said, the point is that the Bush modus opperandi is falshood, deciet and deception. They made that statue going down in Iraq look like some kind of popular mass rally. They're also pretending an actual popular mass rally didn't happen. From the NYT:

Asked about the protests during the visit, Mrs. Bush said she hadn't really seen any. "We've seen plenty of American flags, we've seen plenty of people who were waving to us," she said. "Many, many more people in fact than we've seen protestors."

And this, of course, has been pretty much ignored or buried by the national press in the US because they've already bought their tickets and now seem unable to jump off the ride. So it goes.
