Bush lies about war lies


President Bush today denied he lied about the reasons he gave in 2003 for going to war with the Irate.
Prior to the war, he said: "These people are simply too angry. We have to blow them to smithereenifications to protect the safety of the American people."
But today he said: "It wasn't me. I never said we should go to war, or nothing. It could perhaps have been my comedy stunt double brought in for security reasons. But it's news to me that we are even at war."
Mr Bush's approval rating is at an all time low. According to a poll conducted by Local Indicators of Electorate Response Services, 107% of Americans think he lied about the reasons for going to war with the Irate, 92% think he lied about lying about his reasons for going to war, and 64% think he lied about those lies. An astonishing 46% of the US population thinks the second lie cancels out the first, but 92% of them thinks the third set of lies puts him back to square one.
Senator John McOvenchip said the whole war may have been a mistake: "It now seems likely that dropping bombs on people makes them more irate, not less."
