Bush: Election win rules out accountability

From the Department of Creating Your Own Reality:

President Bush said the public’s decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

“We had an accountability moment, and that’s called the 2004 elections,” Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. “The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me.”

Let’s change that last sentence from Bushian Fantasy to Reality As We Know It On This Planet:

The American people Of 53% of the eligible voters in the US, faced with a choice between two warmongering authoritarian statists, 51%, most of whom do not realize that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden are different people, listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me.” chose George W. Bush for various reasons, many of them based on a raft of lies floated by the Rovian Election Juggernaut and the Republican Noise Machine. The other 49% attemted to hold Bush accountable for launching an immoral and illegal invasion and killing tens of thousands of Iraqis and over a thousand Americans for reasons that turned out to be total fabrications, but were defeated by 118,000 votes in Ohio.
