The release by Julian Assange's web site Wikileaks of classified documents reveals that U.S. military intelligence discovered chemical weapons labs, encountered insurgents who were specialists in the creation of toxins, and uncovered weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. However, Washington, DC officials and the news media have ignored this information.

Ok, this begins to make sense. JA publishes a quarter million classified documents and imperils lives thereby, but he vindicates GWB on the issue of WMD, therefore Interpol was hunting him down to charge him with not using a fresh condom.
The conservative movement is becoming corrupted by unending war and is on the verge of becoming outright militarist. So yeah, they still want to execute him.
Bush was right!
Ugh. THIS is what we have as a frikkin’ ‘leader’.
Gawd help us.
Neither did I. The dishonesty was in his reason for invading Iraq. It wasn't really about WMD. What it was about is anyone's guess. All I know is that he was not telling the whole story when he addressed the American people with marbles in his mouth. (That's how you know he's lying).

Why did Bush roll over and play dead on this. He had the documents.
Carl Rove was his top advisor. That explains a lot of his bad decisions.

Exactly. Assange may be locked up now, but the idea won't die, and there are enough supporters that people will take his place and most likely one or more of them will succeed in being a lot more underground, decentralized and clever about it, too. And there will be sources that will feed (leak) to them. I don't see this going away when Assange goes away. I predict that it will for a while -- but then will re-emerge in some other, harder-to-prosecute form.
I am finding references to the Democrat visit to Turkey hard to find. While I may be mistaken, I remember a news reoprt on Democrats going and wondering what was up, thinking them duplicitous at the time.
I do find the complaints about US-Turkish relations & negotiations:
The delegation will be headed by Democrat Party deputy Robert Wexler and comprised of Republican Party deputy Kay Granger, Democrat Party deputy Jim Moran, Republican Party deputy Cliff Stearns and Tom Tancredo.
The congress members are expected to meet with President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, Parliament Speaker Omer Izgi, Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, Foreign Minister Ismail Cem and other high-level officials during their visit between February 16-22.
The U.S. parliamentarians will focus on the fight against terrorism and improvement of bilateral relations, particularly in defense and energy and take up Afghanistan, Turkish-Israeli relations, Iraq, Middle East, Balkans, Central Asia and Caucasus.
The delegation is also foreseen to hold contacts related with the Turkish- U.S. Economic Partnership Commission meeting scheduled to be held in Ankara between February 26-27.”

On Wednesday, Reps. David Bonior, D-Mich., and Jim McDermott, D-Wash.— who were joined by Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., on the trip — held a press conference to further their argument that the United States should allow more time for international diplomacy rather than rushing off to war.”

(By the way, Cem has since died)
Of course, I could just be wrong.
So in his interviews, President Bush says he was really upset about not finding the weapons. Can he defend himself now? I mean, when they find a meth lab, with no meth, but all the parts, and residue, it’s called a meth lab and don’t the owners go to jail?
forgot to ping you. Apologies.
Assange is no patriot to anyone. He is an admitted anarchist who delights in destruction and chaos and doesn’t care who he hurts, even if it is millions of innocents.
bflr
the question is...why, just a few weeks ago in an interview did bush say that he believed there had been WMD but turned out there wasn’t and he and everyone else had been wrong.
I can believe it. It just makes sense, he was a crazy dictator and they’re all the same. I remember when my hubby was in the first Iraq war, he was the on the Independence. I was worried about it. I remembered what sadam had done to the Kurds and figured he wouldn’t waste a minute thinking about doing it to our troops. Thank God he didn’t.
