Bush invites fake-Iran-story guy to White House as "expert" on Iran

You remember. The fake story about how Iran was going to make Jews wear yellow badges in public. Wasn't true. But that isn't stopping the White House, a mere two weeks later, from inviting the "writer" of that story to brief President Bush on Iran as an expert.

This is who Bush is getting his war advice from. People who write stories that aren't even true.

Not to mention, a very interesting "coincidence" that this "writer" writes a false story about how evil Iran is, a story that could help sway the American people towards going to war with Iran, and now we find out that there are clearly strong ties between the White House and this "writer." Might make you wonder where that false story actually came from.

Things that make you go hmmm.
