President Bush: Liar In Chief

In addition to the now well-known April 20, 2004 quote, here are more spy lies from President Bush:

"For years, law enforcement used so-called roving wire taps to investigate organized crime. You see, what that meant is if you got a wire tap by court order -- and, by the way, everything you hear about requires court order, requires there to be permission from a FISA court, for example."
-April 19, 2004

"First of all, any action that takes place by law enforcement requires a court order. In other words, the government can't move on wiretaps or roving wiretaps without getting a court order."
-July 14, 2004

"What the Patriot Act said is let's give our law enforcement the tools necessary, without abridging the Constitution of the United States, the tools necessary to defend America."
-July 14, 2004 as well

"Roving wiretaps allow investigators to follow suspects who frequently change their means of communications. These wiretaps must be approved by a judge."
-July 20, 2005

"The judicial branch has a strong oversight role in the application of the Patriot Act. Law enforcement officers need a federal judge's permission to wiretap a foreign terrorist's phone, or to track his calls, or to search his property. Officers must meet strict standards to use any of the tools we're talking about."
-July 20, 2005 as well

And here's a Vice President Cheney quote:
"The Patriot Act was carefully written to protect the civil liberties that have long defined American democracy. All of the investigative tools I've described would required the approval of a judge before they can be carried out."
-June 9, 2004

Semantics about the Patriot Act side... the President misled the public about the truth once again.

Again, there is no question that his actions constitute an impeachable offense if you simply go by the law. No legal rationale they have given holds any water and the history of abuse by this administration does not give them any benefit of a doubt.

Impeach now, please.
