Assaunge said 9/11 was not a conspiracy that’s when liberals started to hate him. I think he shed light on some things the world should know for instance how the Arabs really feel about Iran.

“I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud,”

Haha,

I saw a sign in a restroom in Clovis, NM. “Texans, please don’t eat the urinal wafers!”

When Hollywood makes "The Vindication of George W. Bush," maybe Sean Penn can play the lead.

Gray up his hair and I think Alec Baldwin could do a pretty credible Dubya.

I'd rather Nathan Fillion. He can at least to a credible midwest accent.

Shalom.

This was reported at the time and was downplayed by all. I never saw it mentioned on tv at all.

I have always believed there were WMD in Iraq.

Some building on several bases were absolutely off limits to all personnel, because those entering without protective gear got very, very sick very quickly.

And that was all that was ever said about them...

I think it would be a better punishment for Alec (who’d also have to lose about a hundred pounds and take up running to get in shape like Dubya!) :-)

But I can see Nathan in the role as well.

In Iraq ‘04 - ‘07 Coalition troops recovered numerous chemical weapon artillery rounds and were subject to several chemical weapon IEDs, usually mustard gas. Never-made-the-news. Saddam used WMDs on his own people for cripes sakes so it’s well known he had them.

WTF is wrong with liberals? Oh yeah, they hate freedom.

President Black Bush: I didn't want to say this. The mofo bought yellow cake. All right! From Africa. He went to Africa and bought some yellow cake.
News Reporter: Are you sure?
President Black Bush: Yes! I'm sure, bitch!

In 2008, our military shipped out of Iraq -- on 37 flights in 3,500 barrels -- what even The Associated Press called "the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program": 550 metric tons of the supposedly nonexistent yellowcake.

This has been known, though not trumpeted, for at least two years.

What in the Wikileaks constitutes new information?

Probably because this was highly classified military info, a matter of national security, and the Bush administration cared more about this country than about its own reputation.

Bush himself has repeatedly said that history will tell the true tale.

I’ve read and heard this info from a variety of sources for days.

I’d like a link to the actual text of these documents, if it exists.

"I’d like a link to the actual text of these documents, if it exists."

Haven't you heard? If you've ever been a govt employee, in military service, ever received a check from the govt or been to a 4th of July parade or voted you're not supposed to want to see any of these documents.

I highly recommend reading these two books in turn:

My Journey, by Tony Blair, and

Decision Points, by George W. Bush.

Both are valuable for the insight they give into the reasoning of these world leaders and for arguments that can be articulated to counter the pernicious anti-war, immoral hogwash of the Left.

If you happen to be a person who thinks Bush or Blair were failures, I recommend even more highly having an open mind and at least hearing each man out as to his side of the story.

Tony Blair spends a lot of time in his book, in a couple of especially fascinating chapters, detailing the evidence and the uphill political climate that developed. His conclusion, which he supports with ample, neutral evidence, was that Saddam Hussein was even MORE dangerous than they thought before going into Iraq.

Had Bush and Blair, and our nations’ respective military forces, not hung tough, Saddam would likely be alive and armed — or very nearly armed — with WMD today.
