In the President’s address to the nation Sunday the 18th, 2005, he made this statement, “It is true that Saddam Hussein had a history of pursuing and using weapons of mass destruction. It is true that he systematically concealed those programs, and blocked the work of U.N. weapons inspectors. It is true that many nations believed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong.”
This is the confession many Americans have been demanding for years now and for what-ever reason, the President decided to make this confession before the world community in this address. But is this a true and accurate assessment of the situation as we now know it, based on the facts?

OPINION...Oh dear...time for a new school next year.
LOL!
I was hoping for that....:)
*Now* ya tell me!
I had to completely wipe a laptop drive after visiting just one MP3 site last year.
Forget that.
Now I just buy the CDs even if I only like one song on the whole thing....:)
Sorry.
The correct answer was "42".
:-D
LOL!
[don't forget your towel!]
Actually, most of them were just playfully messing with you.
I'm sure that most people here have gotten a mouthful of FReeper knuckles at one time or another.
Stick around a while and you'll get to see some *real* maulings....:)
[hint; if the "flames" include amusing graphics, you're not *really* getting flamed. ya gotta watch out for those "text only" cyber-massacres. they're the ones that hurt]...;D
Appreciate the opinion. But this school is the best available in the location we are in.
Time for a new location? Working on it.
I understand.
Why, yes it is. Thank you for asking!
They do say the darndest things.
Teach him to say: "Don't be a Democrat" ;-)
LOL! Isn't that a hate crime?

EASY. I was appropriately questioning the use of the word lie. I am amazed at the amount of news stories are willing to be the source for their own story.
The assertion of the title is a stretch. The bottom line is President Bush does not have The barrels of chemicals the CIA told him he would have. IT is not a lie for him to acknowledge that fact, nor does it change anything. WE can know there were WMD because Saddam used them, however he was not able to kill the thousands of soldiers with chemical weapons as was expected. Do you see headlines declaring how Presidant Bush headfaked Saddam and won? ........
Mmmm, maybe....maybe not.
:-)
If you want to drive some traffic and see how it's done -- properly -- look at how Mark Finkelstein does it promoting his NewsBusters site every day. His ping list is one of the best.
You want to get to where FReepers clamor to get on your ping list? Acknowledge who you are, acknowledge you want to drive traffic back to NL, maintain positive thread etiquette (Mark inevitably weighs in again by post #5) and for Christ's sake don't post to Breaking News.
If it's any good, it will gain traction on its own, even if it never makes the big blue sidebar.
Ick.
You win....:D
Thanks
My God man! Posting something that defames the integrity of our Dear Leader? You should be dragged behing wild kittens.
