That didn’t take long did it? Someone needs to acquaint Mr Shields with Google.

““Shields needs a catscan, STAT!” Here is the result: Nothing here there.

This is the more likely result of such a scan:

He contrived the WMD thing.

How about the French? Were they in cahoots with Dubya? And how about the Russians?

Everyone thought Iraq had WMDs before the war. It wasn't just Bush.

"He contrived the WMD thing."

Read post 13 and try to pay attention before posting.

If President Bush "contrived the WMD thing" he sure had a strange group of fellow contrivers.

Logic is your friend, exercise your critical thinking skills.

No, anybody who follows the news could come up with at least one comeback to Shields’ assertion.

I realize that nobody here much cares about the UN but how many resolutions were we going to allow Saddam to crap all over without actually DOING something about it?

Bush TRIED and Saddam DIED and I’m happy about it.

He must have missed the Kerry and Obozo campaigns.

In other words you can't name a single lie, repeat the leftist lie about WMD's, and feeeeeeeel that what he did was wrong.

That's a peculiar form of conservatism, tea party or otherwise.

It proves that Democrats will crap all over the truth to score political points even if it undermines American security and costs American lives. Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton and their cohorts didn’t care how many GIs died as long as Bush got the blame. I promise I will piss on fat Teddy’s grave before I die.

"He contrived the WMD thing. When that was exposed as a hoax, he invented "The Bush Doctrine" - invade countries and make them be democratic."

Not to appear disrespectful but you seem to have been out of the country or even off the planet during the run up to the Iraq war.

In this thread were posted exact quotes from many high ranking Democrats who themselves depended on Intel from not only our CIA but the Intel agencies of ALL our allies including Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Israel and even the UN itself. All agreed Iraq not only had WMD but was continually working on them. Bush used THIS information and the Congress accepted it as did Bush as valid and a good reason to proceed with the invasion.

You say this was a hoax and maybe it was (perpetrated by Hussein) but that is not a lie, is it? Hussein may well have been lying about hias stash of WMD but EVERYONE BELIEVED IT TO BE TRUE and if you has looked up the real meaning of what constitutes a lie before you responded, you would know there must be KNOWLEDGE what was being said was false before it was said. Bush and all the others whose information he trusted actually BELIEVED Hussein had the WMD and so there was NO lie.

I'm glad you posted that. A lot of people are either too stupid to remember those comments or are liars them selves. It could only be one of the two.

Or maybe he's had too many already. Very high radiation exposure with CatScans.

That’s public televisions idea of diversity: a panel consisting of the liberal and even more liberal. That way, they cover all of the views worth having.

Yeah but to characterize Harry Reid as a leader might be stretching the truth a little too far. Even for Mark (Maxi) Shields.

Better said - the WMD thing was an issue seriously questioned by some of his own intelligence people, but Bush chose to order invasion of Iraq. I think evidence of his convoluted motivation was the subsequent invention of the so-called “Bush Doctrine.”
