I can't remember the last time I was this overwhelmed with pings and information.

It's like somebody laid the last piece in the puzzle to point the way.

Me neither, but I am GLAD you have pinged backhoe.
I didn't dare...lol.

The interpretation given by the ex-ambassador Wilson, La Repubblica and a couple of radical journalists hired by CBS, the authors of the false anti-Bush scoop ... Sadly, See BS will continue to commit such fraud because there is no way to even shame the bastards into stopping and there isn't a court in America that will prosecute the lying, anti-American scum at See BS.

Does ANYONE here actually think that the Traitours media in America would EVER print ANYTHING that would reflect in the Positive even slighly ! in America's Favor!!!

Want to get rid of something EVIL, DANGEROUS and DAMAGING to America!?

Start with the New York Times Building FIRST and then ALl the other Anti-American-Pro-Socialist/Coomunist/Anarchist New Organizations in BOTH Print AND Electric media!! PEROID!!

Then move to on the United Nations-DUMP IT in the RIVER!!

-after those two--remove anything else you can think of that's Dangerous, and Distructive to ; America, it's commitment to Our Nationals Security, National Interests, and Our Military Armed forces!

The whole democratic party and Rhinos can be considered 3rd and 4th.

I believe Saddam's connection with Al Qaeda in this post 911 world trumps WMD. I could be wrong.

[SAWTEX]

A 'lie' is a knowingly false statement.

And all we know for sure about the WMD's is that we don't know where they are PERIOD. That does not mean that they never existed or that they were somehow destroyed by the
Slickster and his Cruse missile strikes. It was on Saddam to account for the weapons as per the ninety one cease fire agreement. He did not and had no intention of ever doing so. He will swing from a rope around his neck for this
miscalculation.

You are exactly right, my FRiend....

Tenet, intentionally or unintentionally, compounded the problem with his July 11, 2003 Press release that was intended to "counter" Wilson's NYT article.

Tenet referred to the statement in the STOTU address by stating that, "These 16 words should never have been included in the text written for the President." "The background above makes it even more troubling that the 16 words eventually made it into the State of the Union speech. This was a mistake."

The President was factually correct and the British to this day stand behind their assessment. Tenet had no business questioning whether the statement should have been left in the address. He tried to nuance the issue by saying,

"Some of the language was changed. From what we know now, Agency officials in the end concurred that the text in the speech was factually correct - i.e. that the British government report said that Iraq sought uranium from Africa. This should not have been the test for clearing a Presidential address. This did not rise to the level of certainty which should be required for Presidential speeches, and should have ensured that it was removed."

I don't know if Bush cleared this press release, but it was a mistake. Tenet, a long time Dem staffer, may have set a trap for Bush.
