Whopper watch

Andrew Sullivan:

"I can't quite believe my eyes any more. Here's liberal-Democratic partisan, Tim Noah, accusing Rummy of lying when he denied that he had said that U.S. troops would be welcomed 'with open arms.' Does Noah find a quote where Rummy said that? Nope. He finds a quote where Rumsfeld said that the Shi'a and Kurds would be happy to be liberated from Saddam and would soon do things that were previously forbidden, just as the Afghans did after liberation from the Taliban. And that has indeed been borne out. Noah and others are still trying to conflate Baathist Sunni remnants with the entire Iraqi population - when we know that's not true. What we're getting now is a massive disinformation campaign from the anti-war left, simply inventing what the Bush administration said before the war, or grotesquely simplifying it, or outright lying about it. I nominate Tim Noah for the whopper of the week. Caught red-handed."
