No matter how many lies neocons and neocon
media outlets are caught telling, they continue to tell lie after lie, even when
they know they are going to be caught yet again.
Neoconservatism appears to be less an
ideology than a severe personality disorder which radically disconnects neocons
from reality. Neocons basically will say anything, tell any lie, and adopt
any ideology which supports whatever idea that has taken fanatical root in
their heads at any given moment. They are unresponsive to stimuli and data
from the real world. Perhaps neoconservatism is linked to autism in some
way? Is it a genetic thing?
Connected with the disorder is a total
absence of shame for whatever outrages one has committed in the past. The
more the neocons are exposed as liars, the more stridently self-righteous they
become.
It is incomprehensible to any sane person
that Douglas Feith would recirculate lies at this stage in the game which he had
to KNOW would be shot down by his own Defense Department. What makes a guy
like this tick?

Pentagon Debunks Reports on Osama-Saddam Ties Some Outlets Run With 'Weekly Standard' Story By Seth Porges NEW YORK -- Several outlets, including the New York Post, The Washington Times and FOX News, ran with the story. There was just one problem: On Saturday, the Pentagon issued a press release stating that "news reports that the Defense Department recently confirmed new information with respect to contacts between al-Qaida and Iraq ... are inaccurate." Despite this, the New York Post on Monday titled its editorial on the subject: "Bush Was Right." In the current Nov. 24 issue of the conservative journal The Weekly Standard, Stephen F. Hayes writes that Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein "had an operational relationship from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training in explosives and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist attacks, al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi financial support for al Qaeda." The magazine's revelations allegedly came from a "top secret U.S. government memorandum obtained by The Weekly Standard." The Pentagon press release, however, states that the classified sections of the document contained "raw reports" and "was not an analysis of the substantive issue of the relationship between Iraq and al Qaida and it drew no conclusions." The Nov. 17 New York Post editorial made no mention of the Pentagon refuting the charge as "inaccurate." Also on Monday, The Washington Times carried an editorial on the issue, using The Weekly Standard article as evidence. At the end of the editorial, the Times mentions the Pentagon release, but urges "readers to examine the Weekly Standard article and decide for themselves." On Nov. 16, The Washington Post's Walter Pincus reported that the CIA has found "no evidence that Hussein sought to arm terrorists." The New York Post editorial opens: "As blood flowed freely again this weekend in the War on Terror, this time in Turkey as well as Iraq, a new report in The Weekly Standard suggests that events there may not be unrelated. "In fact, the report by Stephen Hayes -- based on a top-secret government memo -- documents an even more profound linkage: between none other than Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. "According to Hayes, the memo, provides enormous evidence that the Bush team was right all along about Saddam's terrorist ties -- despite charges to the contrary by the president's foes, particularly Democrats ..."
