Democrats have fumed over our presence in Iraq. Some believe we should be there, but we got there under false pretenses. Clearly, some in the Bush administration feel as though some of the intelligence reports they received were flawed.

Clinton’s book is out. In interviews, he’s still oblivious to the fact that he was impeached for lying to a grand jury. Liberal media members call it spin. I call it lying.

In the same edition of the paper is a story about Lou Dobbs who has been whining endlessly about American businesses that have sought offshoring opportunities to countries where employees earn less. (It’s a classic case of lowering costs.)

Now we’re about to endure political conventions and the final stages of the campaign for the White House. Truth is going to continue to be pretty hard to find.

We have become so focused on power, prestige and position relative to others that truth is lost in the shuffle. We believe we are more important than others. Truth gets lost.
