Good stuff. However, most liberals have a "fingers in their ears and humming loudly" attitude when presented with the facts.
Most liberals will say bush lied, but have no proof to back their statement.
Most liberals will say Bush lied, but have no proof to back their statement. I usually ask for quotes and where they may be seen, but never get an answer.
Good work. People 35 and older that have blood flowing to their brains should know all these things already, however.
Nice, thanks! I'm bookmarking for later reading.
Nice job, I will save this for later arguing with lefty fools.
People who wilfully ignore the plain meaning of words will not be persuaded by more words.
Excellent.
I'll add that someone who DID say that Saddam/Iraq was an imminent threat was none other than prospective Dem VP nominee Edwards.
Of course his response now is that Bush didn't do anything "like he should have" (whatever that means).
"Keep in mind that our failure to find Osama bin Laden to date is not evidence of the fact that he is a figment of our imagination."
Tried this one out before on my father in law. After provoking him enough to say there were no WMD in Iraq I threw this one at him. He looked like a fembot from Austin Powers.
Kaboom!!!!
good synopsis. Will keep this if you do not mind.
Very well done summary of the facts, some of which I didn't know.
Thanks for posting it!

<<"It was Iraq’s responsibility to declare all WMD and assure the UN of their location and/or total destruction. The burden of proof was on Iraq, not the US or the UN".>>
We know the "oil for food" fraud reaches the highest levels of the UN, So how do we know the're telling the truth about the WMD?
It's not right for the US to murder all those innocent Iraqis
The innocent Iraqis that were killed while liberating Iraq were not murdered. Murder is defined as "The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice". The two qualifiers are unlawfulness and premedited malice.
The US Congress, including John Kerry and John Edwards, gave the president legal authorization to conduct the forceful removal of the Hussein regime. Additionally, several UN resolutions gave prerequisites for the use of force, which were sufficiently fulfilled, even though it was never voted on by the General Assembly. It equates to if I murder you, and the law does not charge me, I have still commited murder. The legal justifications have been made at both the national level and the international level.
The innocent civilians were accidentally killed by US munitions. Killed being defined as "To put to death or to deprive of life". The United States military went to extraordinary lengths to cut to a minimum accidental deaths. Even so far as to put US service members at greater risk. This is of no consolation to those that have lost loved ones, due to US action. It should be consolation to those that otherwise would have been killed had the US indiscriminately used it's power. In short the US did not go into action pruposely targeting civilians.
Good stuff!!! Well done!!! Very useful -- I plan to print this out as a resource, and will share it with others.
It's always helpful ... especially for those of us in the "... and older" category, to have stuff written down. Reagan didn't refer to notes during his speeches for nothing, you know.
Damn.....thanks to you I will now feel guilty whenever I play my Kingston Trio recording of Where Have All the Flowers Gone.....I love it, it never occurred to me it was an anthem of the left....
Thanks. It is true that "facts are like cryptonite to a Liberal" but I have been able to engage them without much difficulty. They legitimately feel threatened however when their world view is attacked. As the old saying goes, "Change is the only constant. Fear is its companion."
LOL!!!!!!!
That just about nails it.
