Exactly. This is about as nothing as a nothing burger gets.

Releasing classified government documents related to confidential negotiations on sensitive issues to make political points - and won’t that lead to increased trust and respect for the US by every other country we have to deal with.....

[Chode]

dude... it's very simple

[MinorityRepublican]

Saddam was a son of a bitch. There’s no doubt in that. But he kept his people in line. We should had continued to enforce no fly zones in Iraq, protecting the Kurds in the North and the Shi’ites in the South and leave it at that.

You know, it would seems that if one were to build a huge computer to nuke the world, you might make the display screen with the countdown clock just a TEENSY bit bigger so it wouldn’t go unnoticed. Seems like the countdown clock is kinda a big deal.

Just sayin’.

[Chode]

and in binary... we had binary clocks in the computer rooms when i was in college

[Eagles6]

The lie in the reporting is that no wmd existed.

There are 10 types of people in this world...
those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

"Preparing for military action is not mutually exclusive from also trying all diplomatic options It is smart to have both options"

Better to be prepared than to assume in the worse case you'll be saved by the fairies.

[Chode]

pretty much... 8^)

[SaveFerris]

Nice. Hex or octal would have been fun.

[SaveFerris]

as usual, typo - good gosh

s/b “You know, it would seem”

[Steve_Seattle]

You can go to Democratic Underground and find many who agree with you.

[Steve_Seattle]

You’re liar. Get lost.

[Steve_Seattle]

Do you seriously think there’s a chance in hell that the establishment would allow Hillary to be prosecuted for ANYTHING?

[exnavy]

This came from Hitlerina’s email server? Not exactly the most credible source.

[Bob434]

well golly- I guess we shoudla just turned a blind eye to hitler too because he ‘kept his people in line”? Cripes- whatever

[ZULU]

Absolutely. No fan of Bush II or Bair but this is RIDICULOUS.

[fella]

We told the world we were going to Iraq for 18 months before we went so Blair didn’t get on board until 6 months into the effort. By the way, Bush got permission from Congress and the UN before going not like what happened in Libya which is a true war crime.

Also 18 months is a lot of time to dispose of WMDs and prepare defenses.

[Crucial]

Just what I was thinking but you stated it much more elegantly.
