You don't introduce a new product in August

"You don't introduce a new product in August." Those famous words were uttered by White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card in August 2002 as a means of explaining why the administration would wait until after labor day to make their case for a war with Iraq.

The graphic is from a new report titled Iraq on the Record: The Bush Administration's Public Statements on Iraq. This report was requested by Henry Waxman from the Committee on Government Reform.

This graphic shows me that Mr. Card was, indeed, telling the truth for once. The Bush administration didn't really start lying in earnest until Spetember of that year.
