Yup and now he is committing to another Viewtman, Iraqi's killing American serivcemen in hit and runs, slowly turning the general population against them...where are the WMD?. Where is Bin Laden?. How is Afghanistan?.Africa's next.
How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable. This is such a happening tailpipe of a party. Like sugar, the guests are so refined. A confidence man but why so beleagued? He's not a leader he's a Texas leaguer. Swinging for the fence. Got lucky with a strike. Drilling for fear makes the job simple. Born on third. Thinks he got a triple."

Prove to me he was lying, and not just going on the intelligence that the British supplied to him. Prove to me that he knew the British doctored the intelligence. Plus the fact that him saying the Iraqis were trying to buy Uranium in Africa was such an insignificant point in his speech. PLUS they already found a centifuge that Qusay had buried in a scientists backyard. There is only one reason to have a centrifuge, and only one reason I could think of why he had it buried. Read

Bush was not under oath and has not committed any crime. Furthur investigation will show if he "misled the public" but that, my friends, is a common occurance in politics. Bush is no different.

The question is, did he know it was false at the time? If, as far as he knew, it was true, then he did nothing wrong. This is nothing like Viet Nam. We were losing 500 soldiers a week in Viet Nam. Do you expect it to be easy, with no casualties? If so, you are a moron.

That's not to take away from anyone, as each one is too much. Source Do you expect it to be easy, with no casualties? If so, you are a moron. Yes, anyone who thinks that IS a moron.

I agree that it is a problem that the British admitted they doctored intelligence. I really think Bush believed what he was saying at the time of the speech. That being said, it has been proven the Iraqi's were trying to build a nuclear (no Lisa, its Nucular )weapons program. If they didnt buy it in Africa, they purchased materials from somewhere. (France?)

It kinda proves a point, If he forged ahead with Iraq depending on an "Incorrect" source of intelligence does prove that there is something wrong?. why would could the US Government get the facts needed to make a qualified decision?.
Not saying that Saddam did not have to go, but who here sees a happy ending to the escalating shit that is going on over there?. will it end with the troops getting out of dogde with unfinished business as politics dictate Dubya needs to be re-elected and the price of dead serivcemen is too high?. Would you like to loose a borther or a sister for a cause that is obviously unwelcome and with out any longterm soloution?
We need to implode the UN building in NY, then can the whole concept of the UN and start fresh, share the responsibility of keeping the world stable (economically and politically). Create a World Law enforcement agency that has the powers to act quickly, bring shitheads to justice based on crimes against humanity and treaths to world peace and world stability.

Risk is part of life BUT the coalation between risk and reward should and can be calculated. 60 some servicemen killed since "the end of the war" can you show me the reward?

To me it just speaks to a trend if nothing else:
Afganistan Iraq Africa . . . Building new nukes? North Korea? Syria?
W. is a warwonger, plain and simple. By the time he is done cowboy upping the world this country is going to be in deep shit. Instead of giving us a color coded scared meter I would prefer if he would help America out a little, educate our kids, or help cure some diseases, or get homeless people jobs, SOMETHING.

Apparently it has something to do with being a cowboy. W. is a cowboy and its sending his little deputies all over the world -- anyway it was a joke, calm down little buckaroo.

What if we did not take down Saddam and he finished his weapons programs and used them, then Bush would have been skinned alive and blamed for the deaths that Saddam could have caused.I can understand why people do not agree with the Iraq issue, because yes, soldiers are still dying, but what else could we have done. Does anyone think that Saddam would ever had stopped doing what he did diplomatically?

No WMD has been found the alleged solicitation of material from Africa was bogus...was it a "wag the dog" scenario?. hard to say, I would say so far this whoel mess has not shown any great results, the dictator is still loose, Terrorism is alive and well yet lives has been lost and every man woman and child in the US owed about $2000 due to this. Could the money have been spendt on homeland security?. Healthcare and the likes?.
