Yes, bttt!
I am encouraged that over one million people have bought, and probably many more have read, Dubya’s book. It, along with Tony Blair’s book, contains the information and analysis that will form the vindication of history.
As more people reflect on what actually occurred during those years, I believe that reflection will reinforce our resolve to resist the corruption of our own form of government from within and to support the cause of freedom here and abroad.
Liberals will just say that it was old. They will just say that it was from the time that Iraq was trying to build a nuclear power plant (for peaceful purposes of course, like Iran is doing now). If it's "old" then its ok.
I’d go for Daniel Baldwin!
O/t, Daniel Baldwin stars in a nice made-for-tv movie now showing on GMC, “Christmas with a Capital C.”
I seem to remember Hannity going over this same ground, almost day after day, trying to get traction for the story and others on WMD and the WMD program in Iraq. We forget how difficult it was to overcome the “Bush lied, people died” garbage.
The irony is that one of the things that greatly strengthened the ability of the LSM to make their lie stick was Dubya’s general and falling unpopularity — which was based primarily on conservatives deserting him over various issues.
His popularity would never have tanked as much as it did if he had only lost Independents and wayward Rats. It was conservative disapproval that took him into the poll cellar and left him with little political capital.
Same with Blair and the Left abandoning him. The thing about Blair, though, was that his base disagreed with him on the war from the get-go. They just disagreed with him more as time went on.
Paging Rosie O’Donnell!
Lefties still throw this out. “Senate Intelligence Report Claim of No Saddam Al-Qaeda Ties.” http://intelligence.senate.gov/phaseiiaccuracy.pdf
And ignore much. -—> Stephen F. Hayes How Bad Is the Senate Intelligence Report? Very Bad - The Weekly Standard 09/18/06 | (Claim of No Saddam-Al Qaeda Ties is Rubbish)
“According to a report released September 8 by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Saddam Hussein “was resistant to cooperating with al Qaeda or any other Islamist groups.” It’s an odd claim. Saddam Hussein’s regime has a long and well-documented history of cooperating with Islamists, including al Qaeda and its affiliates....”

I do hope WikiLeaks screams this info loud enough so it can't be ignored!
I saw a sign in a restroom in Clovis, NM. “Texans, please don’t eat the urinal wafers!”

“Please don’t throw butts in the urinal.
They get soggy and are hard to light”.

I agree. He ticked me off on prescription drugs and illegal immigration, but I never waivered on WMDs in Iraq. I remember the satellite convoy pictures, reports of movng them to the Bekaa Valley and evidence left on the scene in storage facilities. It was pretty clear to me all along what the MSM was doing.
Why not? Because the public perception was of a first class nuclear weapons facility ready to turn whole countries to glass. While a true threat on a serious scale, the image of old gas bombs and aging raw nuclear material from third world mines just would get laughed out of town. Better to just ignore the press and do what must be done.
Sigh . . .
And then, when you find it, you drag the reporters to the site, you toss them into a HazMat suit and you give them a tour of what you found.
It was a huge political blunder for the Bush to allow the US media to say "You lied about WMD!" without making an effective response. I still don't understand why we were silent, when we found what we were looking for.

What about the truck convoys out of Iraq before we attacked?
“Attention Walmart shoppers! Attention! Blue light Special in isle 13. Buy one ton of Yellowcake, and get the second ton free!”
“Oops! Cleanup in isle 13!”
“When Hollywood makes “The Vindication of George W. Bush,” maybe Sean Penn can play the lead.”
Penn would be great in the role of Saddam and any of his other serial killers. They and Penn hate America 24/7/365.
I have to admit, for a bunch of reasons, I didn’t pay much attention to the prescription drug thing while it was going on. In Bush’s book, he explains it and it actually brought some market reforms and pricing into Medicare.
And, of course, had anyone in the GOP (and perhaps even the rank and file) actually supported Bush in his tireless, but ultimately, vain effort to begin the process of reforming Social Security, the process toward one of conservatives’ most necessary goals would have already been underway.
