I'm thinkin this is one of those threads that belong in
"alt.conspiracies", I guess all the worlds leaders and intel communities all got together (including the UN) and adopted resolution 1441, along with countless other resolutions. (I know you have slept a few times since then, but it wasn't that long ago, and you have to at least try to remember) and conspired that Saddam had WMD's. Then when our pres. finally does something about it, instead of just idle threats, all he gets is backlash. LOL, I really enjoyed the one reponse from George Z. Bush where he snipped the comments from prominent Democrats like Clinton, Kerry, Levin, etc., and calls them "irrelevant", hahaha. Typical. It's simply called "Monday Morning Quarterbacking".

Now who's lying? If we are to believe our President, clearly the intelligence community that provided our legislators with misleading and inaccurate data either were lying or were grossly imcompetent, and he should have fired them as soon as he made that determination. But then you'd have to toss in the majority of the intel services around the globe, as it appears most thought the Iraqis did indeed have hidden stocks of WMD, and/or violations of UN Res 687 (which indeed was the case). Were they all "grossly incompetent"? To my knowledge, he has not yet addressed that problem. Gee, you never held that same failure to address any intel failure against Mr. Clinton, who bought into the same story. Why the double standard? Brooks George Z. |

When Nixon was having problems we were never told we could not make fun of him.
This held true for Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 1. When Clinton was making a fool of himself the various commanders at Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Fld. made it perfectly clear anything anti Clinton was prohibited. This actually makes sense from the point of view of loyalty, but being ordered not to tell Clinton jokes was a bit much. Fortunately I had retired by then. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired Dan, How true. During my military career it was pointed out -- curiously during the Clinton years -- that it was a UCMJ violation to make disparaging remarks about the President. We may have held poor opinions of him but we still followed the orders publicly.

ubject: Maybe GWB isn't lying.......

In response to the endless questions "Where's the WMD, George?", "Did
you fib to us, George?" and so on in this election year, I offer the following: Who gives a rat's ass? To America, this is about terrorism. I hope and pray the President of the United States is relentless in the pursuit of terrorists, those who support terrorism, and those who provide weaponry to terrorists. Saddam is just legitimate road kill and, in the big picture, not terribly important. He's just another thug whose source of power was based upon murder, rape, torture, theft, and subordination of those too weak to resist. If the left wants this mutt as their champion, be my guest. The son-of-a-bitch sponsored and supported terrorists. Abu Nidal was his house guest. The U.N., President Clinton, and the world has seen WMD used on the Kurds by Saddam. The U.N. found biologic weapons in his possession after Gulf War I. Only the truly dim need the facts twice. If he's not dead, then may he develop cancer of the asshole and die a slow, painful, lonely death. America is a country that wishes only to live in peace. Our problem is not keeping our citizens within our borders, it's keeping outsiders out. What other nation has this problem.......? What other nation has repeatedly paid in lives for other nation's freedom? Those that cannot acknowledge this are made irrelevant by history. September 11 changed things with most Americans. America supports the President and understands the rationale of his pursuits. Check the polls...... even the polls of the left wing media (which, as ever, is united in its opposition). It must hurt the left to see the President's support is steadily higher than any other President in recent history. Before the war, during the war, and now after the war, President Bush is highly regarded as the right man for the job..... and his #1 job is to protect his nation. He's doing that well. The media and its willing accomplices on the left try daily to change the argument to oil, then WMD, etc, etc, etc....., but folks know better. It's about terrorism. The media / left try so hard to argue otherwise. Sept 11 video is literally verboten by the broadcast media. We're cautioned repeatedly not to (insert "gasp" here) descriminate against those of Arab descent. Everyday Americans submit to searches, questions, and abuse so as to show Arab-Americans they aren't being treated unfairly. Even 5 year old children are examined at the airports to avoid any semblance of profiling. In truth, 100% of the terrorist attacks against America have been by Arabs. Ann Coulter once said this constitutes a description of the suspect, not profiling. Most Americans agree with her. Veterans are used to the left wing media. During Vietnam, those who served listened to Walter Chronkite, that infamous soothsayer of the media, giving voice to his buddy, Dan Rather. We listened to prevarication, prejudice, and vituperance from the media and the left wing. These are the same folks making all the racket today, but fortunately, they have little credibility. (The current scandals of the New York Times, L.A. Times, and Washington Post, speaking of mendacity and falling credibility, is evidence thereof.) I pray to God George Bush is re-elected by a landslide and it may just turn out that way. I further pray terrorism is eradicated, but failing that, I hope GWB makes the message LOUD & CLEAR...... you who engage in the murder of the innocent will pay with your lives. Best JD |

Our problem is not keeping our citizens within our borders, it's keeping outsiders out. What other nation has this problem.......? Actually, we do. Australia. What other nation has repeatedly paid in lives for other nation's freedom? We did. WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, East Timor, Iraq...... Those that cannot acknowledge this are made irrelevant by history. I'll just consider them wrong....:^) I pray to God George Bush is re-elected by a landslide and it may just turn out that way. I further pray terrorism is eradicated, but failing that, I hope GWB makes the message LOUD & CLEAR...... you who engage in the murder of the innocent will pay with your lives. Actually, I can agree with that too. The CO |
