Bush always suspected Saddam was behind 9/11

As in "Dick Weed"?

Finally reduced yourself to the level you feel most comfortable at I'd say. Not really surprising.

You don't go by the nickname Dick, do you???

Now aren't you proud of yourself? Geez, you are so clever.

Of course that begs the question of why we chose the Iraqi people to liberate and not the N. Koreans or the Cubans of a whole host of other oppressed peoples.

Many reasons I believe. WMD for one, (Yes I believe it's there), but also to facilitate our removal of troops from Saudi Arabia. Iraq's neighbors are delighted to see Hussein gone. You and I have no idea about the benefits behind the scenes to that aspect. And as far as North Korea, since China will be key in however that plays out, we are still in the diplomatic stages with them. Iraq squandered it's diplomatic opportunity, with the help of the French, Germans and Russians of course. You didn't answer my question about whether it's a good thing that we learned of the Euro/Russian treachery and UN corruptness out of all this. Prairie

You must be referring to the more humble foreign policy and promise to not engage in nation building when he was campaigning for the presidency. Bush has never lied, he's just distorted the truth, yeah, that's got to be it. Even the father of our country told his momma he chopped down the cherry tree. Why can't this George clear his record? After all, he did promise to uphold the Constitution and then went to work dismantling it. Now he wants our guns after eliminating habeus corpus and fair and speedy process. I don't think he has read the Constitution as well as the majority of his followers.

That is a hard question to answer. I don't think that many people in the know weren't aware that France, Germany and Russia were all doing business with Iraq. It was one of those things that was never an issue until now. Let me give you an example. Congress has put a cap on the number of military personnel that we are allowed to have in Columbia. It is something like 200 or 400. In order to get around that, either the military or the CIA or whoever, simply hires mercenaries. Nobody is paying much attention to that now, but somewhere down the road, it may become an important issue. All of a sudden, people are going to be surprised about the Columbian program we have going on even thought the information has just been sitting there. Same with those people dealing with Iraq. Although some are surprised, I'm just one of those who took it as a given. As far as the UN and its use of the oil for food money. Hell, Iraq itself was yelling about it (the fraud) but of course, no one thought it important until now.

If you really want to stir up a hornets nest, just start a discussion about who is selling arms to whom or why Israel has a very active spy network operating in the US and what they do with that info. All a very dirty business filled with hidden agendas, big money and more than anything, deceit.

That's at least one of the reasons that I don't trust government information or leaked news reports. They are only going to tell you what they want you to hear.

Geez, you are so clever.

Compared to you? Yes, in this case I would be forced to agree.

What I really wonder, is why you bother to post such transparently disengenuous statements? I mean, any nitwit who has even a clue about politics will see through your veneer of intelligence, and rapidly be forced to conclude you're a RINO. The excrement you spew, is recognized for what it is...

Go back to the DU. Tell them you failed.

[Capitalist Eric]

I don't think he has read the Constitution as well as the majority of his followers.

Well, you're partially correct...

But only the first three words.

And let me guess- you voted at least once for Clinton, right??? RIGHT??? In other words, you're a person who doesn't bother to think, only to believe the propaganda from ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC...

Typical.

Go back to the DU. Tell them you failed.

You bush-bots really get all bent out of shape when your narrow "parrot back the party line" is challeged don't you? You can't silence everyone, no matter how hard you try, and you would be surprised at how many even here at FR disagree with you.

You're wrong on all counts. I set out the first elder bush-clinton election, held my nose and voted for Dole in the second, and voted for this idiot in the last election knowing full well he would pobably be like his daddy. Like father like son, this guy is determined to make himself a loser. Gun control, huge spending, foreign intervention, reappointing Greenspan, and the list goes on. He is incapable of acting like a conservative because he is not one.

[Capitalist Eric]

you would be surprised at how many even here at FR disagree with you.

Ummm.... some expression involving a pot and a kettle, comes to mind...
