I think you'll enjoy reading this one! (I just e-mailed it to a few relatives *and* some NPR-lovin' people I know.)

Thanks for the post and ping !

I wrote a gazillion pieces urging war with Iraq, and never found the time to let the word Niger pass my lips. But here's what the president had to say, when he ''LIED OVER NIGER URANIUM CLAIMS!!!!!!'' back in the State of the Union address in January:

''The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.''

That's it: 16 words. Where's the lie? The British are standing by it. And it's said in London that they got it from Paris: Niger's uranium operations are under the supervision of the French Atomic Energy Commission.

Another 16 words the 'RATS will hate on election day night, November 2004:

The GOP gained seats in the House and the Senate.
Meantime, President Bush wins in landslide !

LOL! I am anxiously awaiting the release of the photos.

The photo of the dead Hussein's will be worth a million votes for POTUS!

So now Democratic candidates are carrying on like a bunch of African queens, pretending the entire war hinged on one footnote about some ramshackle French colonial basket-case. ''It's beginning to sound a little like Watergate,'' says Howard Dean. Struggling to keep up with Dean, John Kerry has said that Bush ''misled every one of us,'' even though the senator himself has been warning about Saddam's weapons for years and voted in favor of the Iraq War months before the State of the Union or Colin Powell's UN presentations or anything else. Struggling to keep up with Kerry, Bob Graham wants to impeach the president. Not the president of Niger, the president of America. Seriously.

Good article here.

Me too ! I want to the those ugly pics. Ugly is GOOD in this case!

The photo of the dead Hussein's will be worth a million votes for POTUS!

Especially with the 'RATS opposition to everything the popular Bush says/does.

Ah ! Here is an appropriate cartoon someone post to me last night or this morning !

"And anyone who ever wrote for them like Steyn is a liar in my book."

When one makes irrational comments to such an incredible degree, its often best to let their comments stand as a commentary of that person. Yours speaks volumns.

But Democrats who complained that Bush was too slow to act on doubtful intelligence re 9/11 now profess to be horrified that he was too quick to act on doubtful intelligence re Iraq. This is not a serious party.

This is exactly why looking into intelligence failures that led to 9/11 are a joke. If anyone had tried to say what happened on 9/11 was going to happen, he would have been laughed out of the country.
