One or the other (dead heat for last…)
Just finished reading Sy Hersh’s Chain of Command and the closing paragraph makes you go “ugh”:
“There are many who believe George Bush is a liar, a President who knowingly and deliberately twists facts for political gain. But lying would indicate an understanding of what is desired, what is possible, and how best to get there. A more plausible explanation is that words have no meaning for this President beyond the immediate moment, and so he believes that his mere utterance of the phrases makes them real. It is a terrifying possibility.”
What he said.
