Even the SCOTUS is fed up with Bush's nonsense.

Unless I am very much mistaken, few if any US citizens of Itallian or
German descent were interned in the US just because of their ancestry.

As usual, you are mistaken. While not as large, or widespread as Japanese
camps, there were both Italian and German internment camps.

Here's just one web site about German internment camps:

And ABC I believe did a program last year called "Prisoners Among Us" which
detailed the stories of U.S. citizens of Italian descent who were interred.

It was the Bush admininstration that removed bin Laden from a list
of threats to the US.

It was the Bush administration that shelved a Clinton Administration
reccomendation to impliment tighter airline security.


Sources??

The following was published on December 13, 1996:

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Under plans to overhaul the airline security system, making
a plane reservation would trigger an instant profile of a passenger's
background, including past travels and possible criminal history information.

The passenger profile system was one of a score of recommendations made Thursday
by a Federal Aviation Administration advisory panel."

Thanks.

To be fair, the airlines weren't keen on the new regulations
and so it is no surprise that the Clinton Admininstratino left
it to the Republican adminstration to impliment.

So the sarin filled artillery shells found by the Poles don't exist?

Those shells had a status that basically said, "best used before 1986."

Tell you what, open one up and take a whiff to see if it's safe.


You have to buck the opinion of General Zinni and many others, and all you
offer is -your- opinion.

Sorry, gotta go with Gen, Zinni.

Zinni said there was no active program in his opinion. I agree, but he never
said that ALL the WMDs were accounted for. Obviously they weren't. I bet there
is a bunch of chemical shells in Iraq that the old Iraqi system thought they
had destroyed.

Some people need to wake up and realize that George Bush is the worst
president
-ever- and he is got to go.

Another neo-left tactic: speak in absolutes. Have you actually done detailed
research into all the presidents? Perhaps you don't care, you just KNOW Bush is
the worst ever and you won't let any facts that contradict you get in the way.

Bush clearly is the worst president ever.

He led the country in a war we didn't need to fight.

What other president has done that with so little justification?

From the 60 Minutes interview with General Zinni:

"Zinni says Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time - with the wrong strategy.
And he was saying it before the U.S. invasion. In the months leading up to the
war, while still Middle East envoy, Zinni carried the message to Congress:
“This is, in my view, the worst time to take this on. And I don’t feel it
needs to be done now.�

But he wasn’t the only former military leader with doubts about the invasion
of Iraq. Former General and National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, former
Centcom Commander Norman Schwarzkopf, former NATO Commander Wesley Clark, and
former Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki all voiced their reservations.

Zinni believes this was a war the generals didn’t want – but it was a war
the civilians wanted.

“I can't speak for all generals, certainly. But I know we felt that this
situation was contained. Saddam was effectively contained. The no-fly, no-drive
zones. The sanctions that were imposed on him,� says Zinni."

Bush is absolutely the worst president ever.

Your messages indicate that's not a determination you are in a position to

These?

Or something else?

My understanding is the the field kits used to test for chemical
weapons are biased towards a low incidence of false negatives,
with the downside being a high incidence of false positives.

That is appropriate for the protection of troops in the field.
However thus far I have not read of any more than the one shell
used in the IED being confirmed in subsiquent testing.

Or otherwise lost track of through poor inventory control and the
disruption of the 1991 war.

UNMOVIC found that about 500 mustard gas munitions were 'unaccounted for'
not enough to be militarily significant, but one expects them may
turn up eventually.

Quite frankly, I hope the enemy has them and continues to use them
instead of HE. They'll kill fewer of our people that way.
