I miss old school nationalism. The creepy transnational types are adverse to all people everywhere who are not in their circle.
Well, there are sites such as HuffPo and DU if you are so inclined . . . .
Preparing for military action is not mutually exclusive from also trying all diplomatic options
It is smart to have both options
No lies in that memo
the bombshell du jour, eh?
Why thank you, Daily Wail. Got any more “news” about the Jenners or Miley or any other psychopathic celebrities on the right side of the screen too?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE NOW !!!!!!!!
Dude, you belong on DU.
Diversion.
Pure and simple.
Anybody notice Gen. Colon Bowel’s name all over those e mails?
Puhleeze!
Read the article. Right there is says that this information was released by Hillary Clinton. That mere fact should set off alarm bells that none of this is true and only the latest Clinton effort to hurt President Bush and insult every American that fought in Iraq for our freedom.
If I recall, President Clinton was already talking about Iraq WMDs. Why wouldn’t Bush want to have allies ready for multiple other contingencies?
They were preparing for war, but that doesn’t mean they were committed to war. I’ve worked on detailed war plans - and none of them have turned into reality.
You do not just wake up one day and start fighting a war 10,000 miles away.
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.....
You can go to Democratic Underground and find many who agree with you.
This came from Hitlerina’s email server? Not exactly the most credible source.
We told the world we were going to Iraq for 18 months before we went so Blair didnt 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.
Hmm.. no. The Shock and Awe attack was meant to kill Saddam and avert war and it failed and forced us into the war.
No wonder Blair’s speeches were so moving, measured and impressive - he had lots of time to practice them.
What is most bothersome is the abject stupidity that got us into a needless war in Iraq. The US military performed very well; they got the assignment and did it right. What was NOT done right was: 1) getting into an unnecessary war in the first place; and 2) once you conquered Iraq, apparently having no viable plan for running a country with a substantial educated, modern-looking population and infrastructure. When the Allies beat Germany, they knew that you have to have some local authority in place so they retained the police as long as they renounced Naziism and proved that had not been involved in the deportations or mass murders of the Hitler gang. The Allies realized that without some local control you would have an ungovernable modern country; in Iraq, the Bushbots fired anyone who had the slightest ties to the Baath Party and replaced them with who and with what??
Bkmrk.
