And if we really want to listen to Ari Fleischer kiss some Bush and Chenney ass, no even chris Matthews can see this stuck on stupid lie. Ari, you just made a dam fool of yourself to the world. Go back into hiding since the truth is not something you want to talk about.

original description

Credit goes where credit is due: Chris Matthews does a pretty good job of dressing down Ari Fleischer for once again claiming that 9/11 was linked to Iraq. (Video of the full Hardball segment discussing Fleischer's lie, including a rush transcript, is at DKTV.) Here's a transcript: Good evening, I’m Chris Matthews. Leading off, it never stops. Last night on “Hardball” I had a good tiff with Ari Fleischer. We both gave it a good effort and I hope he comes back. That said, I didn’t catch something he said at the end of the appearance just as I was thanking him for coming on. I didn’t hear it until I watched the 7:00 edition last night. But a lot of people caught it when it first aired and didn’t like it. FLEISCHER (recorded): Chris, and I believe this still today, and of course you and disagree with it, but after September 11th, having been hit once, how could we take a chance Saddam might not strike again? And that’s the threat that has been removed, and I think we’re all safer with that threat removed. MATTHEWS (recorded): And I’m glad we don’t have an administration that uses that kind of argument. Thank you very much, Ari Fleischer. We could not take the chance that Saddam Hussein “might strike again.” Well, the problem with that statement is that Saddam Hussein didn’t attack the United States on 9/11. A lot of people were led to believe he did by statements coming directly from President Bush and Vice President Cheney and that made the case for them. Got them to back the war, a kind of ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’ kind of thing. In fact, in addition to the talk about nuclear threat of saddam, all that mushroom cloud talk, this was the gut deal maker, the big nasty powerful untruth that led so many middle of the road Americans to buy the Bush case for war &#
