"Presidential statements, particularly on matters of national security, are held to an expectation of the highest standard of truthfulness. A president cannot stretch, twist or distort facts and get away with it..."

sarai...

Does he mean like the same way he "stretched, twisted, and distorted the facts" about what Bush promised Americans??? I think mr dean has already lost all credibility on that score and needs to find other grounds to ply his trade with -- by his own standards, he is unqualified for the office.

See #msg-1078579 where dean listed four things Bush "promised" the American people and two of the four are outright lies and distortions, the other two Bush has already brought about.

Do you not think somebody like dean might have an axe to grind as he runs for president?? Why do you quote him as if he were some paragon of truth???

Again I say -- show me proof that Bush lied.

In edit: mea culpa -- I just noticed it was John, not Howard Dean - another paragon of virtue. My answer remains the same - show me the proof, not the allegation.
