Last rites for the Bush doctrine - from The Guardian Spin Machine.

Check out some of this garbage.

The ruling conservative Popular party and the Bush administration instantly staked the Spanish election on the presumed identity of the terrorists.

Never did and never have read anything like that about the Bush admin. They kept saying all along that it was too early to tell. So lie number one.

Within hours of the attack, George Bush and his secretary of state Colin Powell helpfully pointed their fingers at Eta.

No source and no link. Lie number two.

On the eve of the Spanish election, Bush's first wave of campaign spots on television - featuring a flag-draped coffin at Ground Zero - had failed. By more than a two-to-one majority, voters felt the ad was inappropriate and it was hastily withdrawn.

Clever little git isn't he? Trying to tie one with the other. The ads had been made and the release planned long before the election.

Voters? What voters? He's trying to make it sound like the electorate voted them down. If it was a poll why not say so and link to it?

Featuring the coffin? It was probably about a tenth of second. And it was a hit - it was not withdrawn. Again, no sources and no links. What are we up to now - 5 lies now.

I won't go on, it is just too long and filled with false information in just about every sentence. Complete and utter garbage.

Here is the really sad part. This article is number 9 on the Top 12 articles most viewed on their website with almost 12,000 views.

Again, this is why people have a negative view of Bush and the US. I wonder if the Guardian's editor even checks these stories for accuracy.
