Subject: Bush lied? Yeah..right...!

>:( How dare the ignorant who are claiming Bush lied to start the war in Iraq.
The accusation doesn't hold up when you look at the atrocities involved...what?..he WANTED to send our soldiers in and be killed? He'd have to be pretty SICK to do something like that and if he was that kind of person, would he be in the office he is in?
Kennedy, Kerry, and Clinton sure had a lot to say Saddam should be disarmed(right up to the day before our attack), or face serious consequences!
Just keepin' it real for those who think like the guy I am mentioning below:
Radio talk host 'Bernie Ward' from KGO-AM San Francisco allegedly told a person whose son died in the war 'He deserved it!' ..This guy needs an asylum to do his show.
Carry on American! Bless our vets.

Dude, then where's the damned WMD's? :o Where's the chemical weapons, other than the ones that our troops are using on Iraqi's? :o
We have been lied to by this President and every other politician who supports this war. They say that there have been 2000 American casualties? That doesn't count soldiers who died on the way from the battlefield to the off-site hospitals. Make it more like 8000-10,000. The information is out there for anyone to find, you just have to dig a little.
If you really support our troops, then you need to call to have them brought home and put on our borders, northern and southern. I find it ironic that our troops are being used for Iraq's "security", but when it comes to our nation's borders, it's, "Come one, come all!"
Sorry to throw a few monkey wrenches into your patriotism machine, but you're patriotic for the wrong thing.
Think about it, dude.

how can you say Bush LIED when he used his judgement from info given? Wouldn't YOU move to action if told there was strong evidence the weapons were there and that was cause to stop it..okay maybe you say let's see more reason..so...remember Saddam VIOLATING sanctions? Wouldn't you THEN think he either is bluffing us but good or MUST have something to hide THAT CAN BE USED AGAINST US..What? Do we WAIT for him to attack us?
Yes many were kiled and injured uh...bringing freedom and justice to the area they occupied, yes they DIED giving citizens a right to vote, Yes, they died for freedom to the people there AND need to fight further SO THE IDIOTS DON'T COME HERE- The NUTS from that country THEY ARE DYING IN just bombed Jordan..dig them out and be PROUD of the fight!

yeah, he'd have to be pretty sick. and apparently, he IS pretty sick. the 2000 soldiers aren't even what bothers me, so much as the 30,000+ iraqi civilians, women and kids disproportionately. the average age in iraq is fifteen. so slap that ribbon on your car, dude.
Kennedy, Kerry, and Clinton sure had a lot to say Saddam should be disarmed(right up to the day before our attack), or face serious consequences!
if you look at the other posts on this topic from me and maxwell and don carlos and other people who are opposed to this BS war (and it's not really a "war," that's more administration rhetoric -- it's a police action. a slow-burn occupation, what they call in the pentagon a "low-intensity conflict" -- and it'll keep roiling like this for decades if we let it....), you'll see we have no truck for the democratic spinelessness in caving in to this war. but you and i both know that once some president starts beating the war drums, everybody but the very few courageous ones gets on board and starts waving the flag for fear of losing votes. that's all the demos were doing, covering their butts. it reflects badly on the demos, yes, but in no way validates this ridiculous "war," conjures yellowcake or WMDs or chemical weapons drones from out of nowhere, or in any other way turns bush's lies into any kind of truth.

Thanks for this discussion..I'm not here to take sides for actions etc..just discussing left over points..as many are feeling bad about the 'reason for war' info that we are getting..they'll need to clean the place up..
Just as we could not tell someone to change their religion because it doesn't make sense and it is dealing with others from another society...in OUR country/society, the members counteract bad behavior when there isn't enough help from the local authorities...such as gunfire in our neighborhood?..Then we move to a better place, but in Iraq or wherever, they run for cover and when the BIG GUNS come through to clear it up, the innocents are part of the casualty.
How many of them are thanking US again for liberation? Ridding them of Saddam and dark aged living..and finally keeping the problems of attacks THERE instead of HERE ?
And peope are focusing on those who died instead of their achievements?
You know they are saying it's just a matter of when it gets here, when nukes go off and drive people away from their comforting styles as they know it...those million$ homes may not be worth it one day can you imagine?

Bush DID lie. Paul O'niel, his first treasury secretary, and others have stated that he, Cheney, Rummy (a fitting nickname) and the other neocons had decided on war in Iraq before 9/11, they exagurated (to be charitable) the WMD intelligence and apparantly pressured the CIA to emphasize it, they ignored the CIA sponsored report of Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's husband) re the "yellow cake" and outed her to "get" him for going public, they constantly tried to like Saddam with 9/11 even though their own intelligance said "no connection" to that or Al Quida in general.
Whether Bush was at the center of this fiasco or not is certainly an open question (I'm not sure he's smart enough. Uncle Dicky always speaks the truth, right?), but what we are now dealing with is a neocon wet dream of world domination through control of Iraqi oil, which they believed would emerge from a compliant Iraqi state that we could to undercut OPEC. The neocons even wrote about this before Lil' Georgie got "elected".
Given the results of our military's search for WMDs (I'm surprised we didn't plant some, sort of - but that kind of conspiracy would quickly unraval - JHC, you just can't trust anybody to keep a secrit, damn), Clinton's willingness to rely on UN inspectors and so maintain the support of the international community, makes sense to me (I'm not sure what Kennedy or Kerry had to do with this). And let me point out that at one time Saddam (with all his faults) was our "good buddy", as many brutal dictators have been (do the name Pinochet ring a bell? or DuBisone (El Salvador - sp), or Noriega, or Somosa, or Marcos...). Dems (with the exception of Jimmy Carter who was torpedoed by RR) have been as guilty of this as Repugs, so the moral argument - rid the world of nasty tyrants - just doesn't hold water.
On the face of it, that radio host is WAY out of line. We hire and train our troops to do what the civilian leadership commands, mostly without question. I don't hold them accountable for following legitimate (as Danial Inoue said at the Irann/Contra hearings) orders. I hate what they are trained to do (kill people), but I don't blame them for doing what they are ordered to do.
When I was protesting Vietnam (and doing my best to avoid the draft, like our Vice President, although I didn't either marry or concieve a child to get a deferment, which he may have done) I had several friends who returned from that meat grinder, and never blamed them for staying alive. So I have no problem saying bless our troops, honor our troops, respect our troops, and I would translate that into providing them with MORE VA benefits, not less, as this administration has proposed. So sure, "bless our Vets" with the assistance they need and the services they have earned.
As to "carry on America", which way? We can be a beacon of freedom and hope for the world, but we are not that now. Now we are the "evil empire" bent on world domination through military strength, and you know what? It has never worked in the past and it ain't going to work this time.

SoDamn Insane was supposed to have the materials for making nuclear weapons, including "Yellow Cake Uranium". When they did the actual search, the only containers of "Yellow Cake" that were there had "Betty Crocker" on them! There were also reports of aluminum tubes that were used in the refining process, until, after study, they were found to be the wrong kind of aluminum.
Furthermore, I have to ask, what kind of dictator allows his people to keep firearms? Including full-auto AK-47's? We in the US can't own such weapons, unless we pay the $200 "tax" to the BATFE. And let's not forget RPG's. They had them over there, and still do. We can't have them no matter what.
We HAVE been lied to, about why we are in Iraq, just as we were lied to about why we have troops stationed around the world. We need to have our troops recalled from overseas and placed on our borders, northern and southern. Sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Well, here's the root of it all: Bush says that a terrorist cell hijacked the planes, which brought down the Twin Towers. That is the lie that started it all. Here's what a physics professor has to say about the destruction of the WTC.
http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/1,1249,635160132,00.html
Y. professor thinks bombs, not planes, toppled WTC
By Elaine Jarvik
Deseret Morning News
The physics of 9/11 テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ including how fast and symmetrically one of the World Trade Center buildings fell テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ prove that official explanations of the collapses are wrong, says a Brigham Young University physics professor.
In fact, it's likely that there were "pre-positioned explosives" in all three buildings at ground zero, says Steven E. Jones.
In a paper posted online Tuesday and accepted for peer-reviewed publication next year, Jones adds his voice to those of previous skeptics, including the authors of the Web site www.wtc7.net, whose research Jones quotes. Jones' article can be found at www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html.
Jones, who conducts research in fusion and solar energy at BYU, is calling for an independent, international scientific investigation "guided not by politicized notions and constraints but rather by observations and calculations.
"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ which were actually a diversion tactic," he writes. "Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all," Jones writes.
As for speculation about who might have planted the explosives, Jones said, "I don't usually go there. There's no point in doing that until we do the scientific investigation." (Emphasis by Ian; note: while there have been various whitewashes about the collapse of the WTC buildings, no scientific investigation has happened, as the article will show)
Previous investigations, including those of FEMA, the 9/11 Commission and NIST (the National Institutes of Standards and Technology), ignore the physics and chemistry of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, to the Twin Towers and the 47-story building known as WTC 7, he says. The official explanation テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ that fires caused structural damage that caused the buildings to collapse テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ can't be backed up by either testing or history, he says.
Jones acknowledges that there have been "junk science" conspiracy theories about what happened on 9/11, but "the explosive demolition hypothesis better satisfies tests of repeatability and parsimony and therefore is not 'junk science.' "
In a 9,000-word article that Jones says will be published in the book "The Hidden History of 9/11," by Elsevier, Jones offers these arguments:
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 The three buildings collapsed nearly symmetrically, falling down into their footprints, a phenomenon associated with "controlled demolition" テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ and even then it's very difficult, he says. "Why would terrorists undertake straight-down collapses of WTC-7 and the Towers when 'toppling over' falls would require much less work and would do much more damage in downtown Manhattan?" Jones asks. "And where would they obtain the necessary skills and access to the buildings for a symmetrical implosion anyway? The 'symmetry data' emphasized here, along with other data, provide strong evidence for an 'inside' job."
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 No steel-frame building, before or after the WTC buildings, has ever collapsed due to fire. But explosives can effectively sever steel columns, he says.
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 WTC 7, which was not hit by hijacked planes, collapsed in 6.6 seconds, just .6 of a second longer than it would take an object dropped from the roof to hit the ground. "Where is the delay that must be expected due to conservation of momentum, one of the foundational laws of physics?" he asks. "That is, as upper-falling floors strike lower floors テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ and intact steel support columns テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ the fall must be significantly impeded by the impacted mass. . . . How do the upper floors fall so quickly, then, and still conserve momentum in the collapsing buildings?" The paradox, he says, "is easily resolved by the explosive demolition hypothesis, whereby explosives quickly removed lower-floor material, including steel support columns, and allow near free-fall-speed collapses." These observations were not analyzed by FEMA, NIST nor the 9/11 Commission, he says.
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 With non-explosive-caused collapse there would typically be a piling up of shattering concrete. But most of the material in the towers was converted to flour-like powder while the buildings were falling, he says. "How can we understand this strange behavior, without explosives? Remarkable, amazing テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ and demanding scrutiny since the U.S. government-funded reports failed to analyze this phenomenon."(Note by Ian: this process is known as pulverizaton
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 Horizontal puffs of smoke, known as squibs, were observed proceeding up the side the building, a phenomenon common when pre-positioned explosives are used to demolish buildings, he says.
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 Steel supports were "partly evaporated," but it would require temperatures near 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to evaporate steel テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ and neither office materials nor diesel fuel can generate temperatures that hot. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location, he says.
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 Molten metal found in the debris of the World Trade Center may have been the result of a high-temperature reaction of a commonly used explosive such as thermite, he says. Buildings not felled by explosives "have insufficient directed energy to result in melting of large quantities of metal," Jones says.
テδ「テ「窶堋ャテつ「 Multiple loud explosions in rapid sequence were reported by numerous observers in and near the towers, and these explosions occurred far below the region where the planes struck, he says.
Jones says he became interested in the physics of the WTC collapse after attending a talk last spring given by a woman who had had a near-death experience. The woman mentioned in passing that "if you think the World Trade Center buildings came down just due to fire, you have a lot of surprises ahead of you," Jones remembers, at which point "everyone around me started applauding."
Following several months of study, he presented his findings at a talk at BYU in September.
Jones says he would like the government to release 6,899 photographs and 6,977 segments of video footage for "independent scrutiny." He would also like to analyze a small sample of the molten metal found at Ground Zero.

I see the point you FEEL he lied, then feel the same about ALL the senators and former Pres.

Bush gave the go ahead, based on what was presented as you said..
I would FOCUS on the ones who put that together for him as I have always been the one to shout for DISMISSALS of those who were terribly misleading etc..like Mike Brown(FEMA) and other cabinet members that HE SHOULD have fired but didn't..I once wrote a letter o Pope JP regarding the scum in Boston Cardinal Law- That had divine intervention as the date the letter arrived, he stepped down or whatever they do to end the ruling.
NOTE: Straight from the HORSES MOUTH ....11/14/05
GEORGE BUSH..YAHOO NEWS....or is he STILL lying???
Reasonable people can disagree about the conduct of the war, but it is irresponsible for Democrats to now claim that we misled them and the American people," Bush said in his prepared remarks.
"Only one person manipulated evidence and misled the world テδ「テ「窶堋ャテ「竄ャツ and that person was Saddam Hussein," Bush added.
The president sought to defend himself against Democrats' criticism that he manipulated intelligence and misled the American people about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction as he sought grounds to go to war against Saddam Hussein in 2003.

Actually the Pope brought bernie back to the Vatican and gave him a very prestigious position. He is now

Maxwell, Tia, Don Carlos, et al,
I suggest that you go here: http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html
This is the official paper that Professor Jones submitted. His online version has links to pictures and unaltered video of the actual collapse of the towers. You can clearly see explosive squib detonating, travelling UP the side of WTC 7 before it collapsed. You can also see similar squibs detonating DURING the collapse of the Twin Towers. The detonations occur just ahead of the collapsing mass of the building. There is no other explanation for why the WTC buildings collapsed so completely upon themselves.
It seems obvious, at least to me, that the people who planned this didn't want any other properties damaged, at least not severely. They wanted just enough destruction that would make people mad, but not so much destruction that it would damage much of the infrastructure. As Professor Jones points out, knocking the buildings down laterally would have done much more damage than a straight-down demolitions job. And let us not forget the pulverization of solid concrete into powder. Falling from a great height will not do such a thing, only the application of tremendous pressure, such as in a grinding setup, or the application of high explosive, will pulverize material into fine powder.
Please don't take my word for it. Investigate it yourselves. The truth is out there, and it doesn't care what your political affiliation is, for it has none.

check out if you have audio to hear Mr. Kerry fighting to take Saddam to task for what information the Senator had..you think the Senators would agree to a majority and go in if they weren't for it?
go to : www.kgoam810.com
search for Bill Wattenburg.click on the audio remarks by Kerry fighting to get Saddam in the most extreme way...
Again if Bush had all that info he wasn't telling anyone about... why didn't he go thru with 'Hey we found WMD'S(after secretly having them put somewhere..Did you know the Iraqis BURIED their planes from their AIR FORCE..hmm where did those WMDS go that he bragged he had???
Also..to be technical Saddam was clearly a WMD..do you know how many people he ruthlessly killed..from a report I take true, he would find a SHIITE camp, and as the people residing would run away from him and his troop, they would OPEN FIRE killing the kids first, then the parents , and let the elderly run as far as possible while that went on and MURDER THEM like a target range seeing if they could hit the OLD PEOPLE at 300 yards like target practice..
Glad the SOB was stopped by US(A) If this makes US look like war mongerers..someone has some real thinking to do about what is right and how to recognize good vs. evil..forget we're there for oil...
Want to lose more sleep.....we can't detect any WMD's precisely which means if they are brought in by shipping crates to our ports...we have NO WAY to know...sleep on that one!

Written By: saver on 11/15/05 at 12:14 am
So, using THAT thinking, then I guess GWB is also a WMD....he killed 30,000+ people in this war
You're absolutely right....BUSH had the intelligence....Clinton and all of the other senators DIDN'T, they were going by what BUSH told them. Is it right? Not really, but what other choice did they have? They based their "backing" on the information available to them at the time Now that the intelligence reports have been released, they are basing their feelings about the war on that.
If you're trying to place Bush as a WMD you now have to ask offensive or defensive!
Was he to call the 30000 in the middle of the war and ask them to stay indoors and away from any armys?All war has casualties...unavoidable as it is...
..TRY REMEMBERING THE 10000+ Saddam MURDERED!KIDS, WOMEN, AND ELDERLY...WHO WERE KILLED FOR BEING NORMAL EVERYDAY PEOPLE...BUT NOT TO HIS LIKING
Losing sleep I am referring to the 'terrorists' who are planning to get US for being who we are...if you haven't heard, it's not a matter of IF but WHEN they will try to come on OUR soil and the weapon of choice will be chemical or biological..so how do you think they can get thiem into our country?? By shipping it to us in crates which we have NO WAY OF DETECTING.. so I say, worry about thatテ窶堙つヲnbsp; while you say your prayers at night....テ窶堙つヲnbsp; we all will need to...

I zapped the orders for brevity.
Clearly, since the executive controls the flow of info to the Congress, it can (has) influenced the decisions congress has made. This, according to lots of people, is the most secritive admin in decades. If they have nothing to hide (yeah right) one has to ask why?
During the Iran/Contra hearings Elliot Abrams suggested that not telling the truth when asked a direct question wasn't necessarilly lying. I guess in that context Bush didn't lie, he just didn't tell the truth.

I agree 100%. However, by Bush saying that there was a STRONG link between AQ and Iraq when the intelligence (both British & US) showed that if there was ANY link, it was VERY WEAK.....that constitutes lying in my book. Now, on the WMD's, I'd say the above applies. The intelligence was that he may have WMD's and he just "exaggerated" the accuracy of that....
I was just trying to clear up the "Congress had the same info as the Pres & his advisors" excuse error ;)
Your post was very informative. OPf course he lied - knowingly made false statements - re Saddam and Al Quida, and exaggerated the WMD issue for political purposes, and kept Congress in the dark.

Actually, Bill Clinton sent million-dollar missles from cruise ships to strike various targets, such as the aspirin factory in the Sudan, as well as other items of infrastructure. While he may not have killed anyone directly with his military, he has certainly killed off people who did not get their needed medicines.
It seems that every president of the 20th Century (some will argue that it goes back to Lincoln, or even Alexander Hamilton), has caused needless death and destruction somewhere in the world, on our own soil or abroad.

The missle attack is still contriversial, but was a limited response to a direct attack. Notice that no one has challenged the validity of the overthrow of the Taliban. That was also legit. What you are missing is that several sources, some from within the Bush white house, were determined to invade Iraq before 9/11 and were willing to use every subtrefuge to do so. Certainly Clinton's use of the military lead to deaths, but he didn't lie about why he gave the order, he didn't lie to Congress or the people about the reasons, and his lies didn't lead to a stupid and futile war.

The benefits to the people of Afghanistan are questionable; many of them don't care too much for Western concepts such as "career advancement over family", a concept that is heavily lauded in many TV shows as successful, but has a devastating effect on children that is NOT revealed.
Clinton's actions may not have led to all out war, but they certainly could have. Bush is succeeding where Clinton failed, in terms of bringing this nation into a fuedalistic society where he and his cohorts rule as absolute despots, much like Idi Amin Dada.
I don't argue your points against Bush, Don Carlos. You are correct in all of them. But Clinton was no better than either one of the Bush presidents. He, like them, is part of the problem. And if the people I read are correct, Hillary (or Hitlary, as she is sometimes called) will be the next president, and she will take us down that path to fuedalism even further, possibly all the way. Along that way, we will be required to submit biometic indicator for our ID cards, and later we will be offered the option of an implanted chip, and then the chip will become mandatory. When you take that chip, you will LEGALLY be property of the State, subject to it's whims. You will be no better than cattle.

this is my favorite conspiracy theory. and that's saying something.
http://www.nick2211.yage.net/chips.htm
"The ultimate goal of this proposed elite group is to bring about a single global marketplace, controlled by a world government, policed by a world army, financially regulated by a world bank via a single global currency, and populated by a microchipped population connected to a global computer, a computer that both monitors and updates our personal location and financial status, and regulates our emotional state via transmitted electrical signals - technology that already exists.
This ambition of thus rendering the Earth a "prison planet" - a self-contained, interactive social structure under total centralized control - is chiefly being pursued via activities in two areas - commerce and culture. In "commerce," the elite group have created the corporations, the vehicles for the planet's enslavement, and in "culture," the elite group have created both the drivers and passengers of those vehicles - us.
The historical roots of this "elite group" stretch back into the mists of time. But the development of the modern banking system in Middle Ages Europe provides a useful starting point for a look at their activities. The reader should note that, in describing the activities of this proposed elite cabal, I have had to give them a name, that name usually being simply "the elite."

"The grabbing hands grab all they can, everything counts in large amounts."

I'm not saying they don't have an evil masterplan hidden away, but the evidence sitting out there in plain sight makes their intentions clear as a mountain stream. The plutocratic elite want control of as much of the world's natural resources, financial capital, and human labor as possible. The the anti-competitive avarice of unregulated capitalism sows the seeds of its own destruction, like all evil forces. Unfortunately, humanity will suffer a slow, lingering demise and the the planet will become uninhabitable due to environmental catastrophes before capitalism dies a natural death. That's why we can't affort just let it run its course.

There is another part of this conspiracy that I did not notice in the posted link (I will admit that I only glanced through the website) is severe depopulation. The elites apparently plan to decrease the "surplus population" of the earth to about 10% or so of it's current numbers. How this is to be done is subject to conjecture: Some say war, some say famine. some say disease, some say a combination of the above. The why, though, is known: A smaller population is much easier to control, especially when they are concentrated in cities because the laws forbid any venture into "protected wilderness areas" except under special circumstances. And as you can guess, the elites will ALWAYS have special circumstances.
The plans of the evil ones will, unfortunately run their course, but not completely. As a follower of Jesus Christ, YahShua ha Moshiach, I can say that before total destruction comes, God Almighty will intervene and stop their plans. This does NOT mean that we can sit by and do nothing; we will be called to account for what we did and failed to do; but we can know that He has everything in His hands.
Be strong, and have faith in Him, and stand against the evil of this world, not for any reward, but because it is the right thing to do.

I fight the elites in the best way that I can: I pray to God Almighty, and I spread the word about the elite's machinations (which includes the fact that it was explosives, NOT CRASHED AIRPLANES, that brought down the WTC Twin Towers). However, I know that I'm on a list somewhere, and that my time can come at any time. That's fine. As I said before, I'm not dying until God Almighty says so. I can only hope that the elites will be brought down and we human beings become free again, that I will die peacefully in my sleep in my own bed of extreme old age.
However, that seems unlikely, given the greed of the power-trippers who adopt socialist/fascist/control-freak desires. In such a case, I hope that I can die fighting, whether it be against their minions who will argue, "I vas chust following orders," or if I actually come face to face with the monstrous elites themselves. Whatever is the will of God Almighty, I will do it to the best of my ability.
For those of us who cherish liberty and fight against evil, it is the best we can hope for.

anyone who sets off a nuke somewhere in the US is probably gonna use one of those russian suitcase nukes that no one knows where they went. (unless that's another urban myth. i never know anymore. summa snopes that for me, woodya? so i can get all mad? :D) it's pretty much a gag that iraq was developing nukes, cuz you need some crazy infrastructure for that, and it's probably gonna be visible by satellite. and besides, they weren't even getting baby formula into the country.
and another thing about that, everybody's assuming that if hussein WERE able to make a nuke it'd be the same thing as those 20 megaton jobbers the russians used to be dangling over us. (and still are, incidentally.) but it would be an atomic bomb rather than a hydrogen one, and probably WAY less powerful than even the one that detonated over hiroshima. not that that's any kind of cakewalk, but everybody's running around talking about, when terrorists destroy chicago, you'll be sorry! and the odds of that are somewhere between zero and none.
but if they manage to fire off some nuke lite and kill a few thousand innocent people, the US government has probably killed a few HUNDRED thousand innocent people since 1991 in its various bombings hither and yon. so, you know, we still come out ahead. honestly, and this is gonna sound bad, but it's just reality, you can't keep exporting this horrific violence all over the world and not have some of it come back on you sometime...

Saver, you have an amazing talent for not answering the question. One would think that you might be on the payroll of the Republicans, or maybe even their masters (who are masters of the Democrats, BTW).
Maxwell, the reason that it doesn't come together logically is because it can't. The only explanation that works is that we were set up by our own "leadership". The WTC Towers came down as a result of explosives in the buildings, not the damage done by the planes. A BYU physicist has proved this. Read his paper here: http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html
Only the willingly blind will refuse to see this. We have been set up and sold out, time and again by our "government", each time getting worse than before. And to paraphrase the old saying, "The worst is yet to be!"
When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, while everyone's attention was on the looters, Blackwater mercenaries and New Orleans police officers when to areas that were unaffected by the storm and raided homes, searching for firearms. The next major terror event, which they keep promising will come, will bring about martial law, which means the end of your rights as a human being, at least in their eyes. This means that they will come to take away your guns, your food stores (they will call it hoarding), and may even confiscate your home if it so pleases them. How will you live? By their good graces, but sadly, they have none.
Those of you with eyes to see and ears to hear, do what you know you have to do while you have the time to do it.

well, about the retaliation thing -- bush pretty much forgot about OBL and no one's screaming that he keep the heat on in afghanistan to find him. and 9/11 was only four years ago. i imagine if a nuke is fired off in the US people will be screaming retaliate for a while but just fight a war of distraction -- any war will do -- and eventually people will forget who we were originally supposed to be tracking down. it's that whole goldstein effect -- all the antagonists start to blend together, and the driving narrative is really just about bull-dumb revenge. and revenge can be enacted on people who are only similar to the original guilty party -- that's why torturing iraqis is good enough for the people who are furious about 9/11. they're by and large innocent of any wrongdoing in terms of the WTC attacks, but to people with vaguely racist sensibilities they look the same, and like the WTC attackers are muslims, and so are effective proxies.
if this were really about keeping america safe don't you think we'd be all about getting OBL instead of cooking up this whole iraq thing because it LOOKS more like a war, LOOKS more like bush is getting "payback" for 9/11? the afghanistan thing just didn't do for that, you know? it was very unsatisfying as wars go.

If Dubya and his cohorts are Christians, then I'm the Dalai Lama (and I AIN'T!). Dubya & Co. are running this war for no other reason than to kill as many people as possible under whatever excuse their lackies can find ("We shot up that family because we thought one of the younger children threw a nuclear grenade at us; turns out he only burped and waved at us.") Those with honor and strength who manage to get out of the service are coming forward to tell of the atrocities they have witnessed, especially in regard to the Blackwater mercenaries who take supreme pleasure in shooting down any Iraqis in their sight.

"Bush informed in 2001 of lack of Iraq-Qaeda ties Wed Nov 23, 3:39 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush was reportedly informed 10 days after the September 11, 2001 attacks that US intelligence had no proof of links between Iraq and that act of terror.
Citing government documents as well as past and present Bush administration officials, The National Journal said the president was briefed on September 21, 2001 that evidence of cooperation between Iraq and the Al-Qaeda terror network was insufficient.
Bush was also informed that there was some credible information about contacts between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda that showed that the Iraqi dictator had tried to establish surveillance over the group, according to the report.
Saddam Hussein believed the radical Islamic network represented a threat for his secular regime.
Little additional evidence has emerged over the past four years that could contradict the CIA conclusion about a lack of a collaborative relationship between Al-Qaeda and Iraq, the Journal quotes a high-level government official as saying."

Iraq may not had anything to do with the original terrorists, we went there anyway to get the possible source of trouble, we flushed him out, many protested, and many are FREE from tyranny...if the cops come to your house to ook for one thing(maybe bomb making equipment)..... and they find something else(you've been beating your kids)... are they supposed to pack up and go away??

By Stephen Collinson in Washington
December 02, 2005
A TOP US spy agency has declassified data showing agents skewed intelligence to back claims of a communist attack on a US destroyer in 1964, an incident which led to the escalation of the Vietnam war.
The National Security Agency (NSA) today admitted defeat in a long battle to keep the explosive article, printed in 2001 in its in-house journal, secret.
Senior NSA officers had apparently feared the findings could prompt comparisons to claims the Bush administration twisted intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The article, by NSA historian Robert Hanyok, based on signals intelligence or SIGINT, concludes what historians have long suspected

This probably should be a new thread, but the way the government has gotten us into wars, or
police actions, or whatever they want to call them has been a long, sorry, story, as is the conduct of the military(the way the military has conducted the war, not the actions of the soldiers in arms, though they do not always get a free pass either). The fact that there are elements of the public that accept every war, for whatever reason is even worse. The Panama idiocy stands clearest in my mind, another bush using the military for its own purposes.

we keep giving you evidence. you keep ignoring it and saying, show me evidence.
I'll agree if the EVIDENCE is enough to impeach Bush..but if there IS evidence why isn't ANYONE going after the whole group involved that's what puzzles my thoughts on what is being SAID and what they have on him??

Ok, one more time, and the last for me.
There is clear evidance from at least 2 admin insiders, Treasury Sec't Paul O'Niel and Richard Clarke, director of counterterrorism, the Bush wanted to go after Iraq well before 9/11. Following 9/11, both Bush and Cheney referenced it in speeches about Iraq on numerous occasions, at least implying a connection. Then there was the constant reference to WMD's which inspectors couldn't find, the fabrication of the Niger yellow cake stuff, and Condi's "smoking gun" nonsense, just to skim the surface. We know the vote in Congress was based on "cherry picked" intelligance. So the neocon cabal got its wish as a result of cooking the books. Maybe that isn't sufficient for impeachment (although I think lying to Congress - the State of the Union message - was), and maybe it wasn't lying (in making up stuff), but it sure wasn't telling the truth either.

I don't think lying in the State of the Union address could be considered an impeachable offense.

That's another thing that is in disrepair in our legal system...
I don't think its so much our legal system as our political system. If we had a multi party parlimentary system Lil' Georgie would probably have been voted out by now, as just happened to Martin in Canada.

So everyone that doesn't like the situation is screaming Bush lied, Cheney lied...
As O'reilly puts it SHOW US THE PROOF or STUFF IT!!!!
Apparently, he says everyone just is spouting off with NOTHING to show as evidence...
Woodward wrote about it and the majority of the Senate 'had to have been schnookered' let's get some smarter people calling the shots then!

Hey IMO continuing this Iraq war now that we nabbed Saddam is a JOKE. Let the Iraqis give Saddam the punishment he so truly deserves...and let them settle their own squabbles!
(sarcasm)WHAT!?!?!?! Let the Iraqi's settle their own problems?!?! Let THEM decide what to do with Saddam?!?! Why, you labor under the delusion that the Iraqi people actually have intelligence, and are capable of rational decisions! Only the elites have that power, and it is their responsibility to ensure that their desired outcomes, which are the best outcomes, are the ones that happen!
Letting the Iraqi people decide! Harumph! What plane of reality do YOU come from?!?!(/sarcasm)

On that note, it boggles my mind why the news media is so indignant about Saddam's arrogance and antics during the trial. The pundits act like it's a personal slap in the face. Uh, hellooooo!!! This is Saddam Hussein. SADDAM F**KING HUSSEIN, the evil dictator, the man who was entitld to have people slaughtered at the snap of his fingers, the man who could get any damm thing he wanted while his people suffered and starved! That's right, Saddam Hussein, one of the most vile narcissists to walk the face of the Earth! So who are you people expecting at trial? Jimmy Stewart! I mean, get some perspective, folks!

No, we are trying Saddam...what I mean is let those in Iraq fight their own battles as far as THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. Yes, So Dam Insane should HANG for every dam thing him, Uday, and Qusay did to trample down the Iraqi citizens, especially since So Dam Insane GASSED his own citizens...not to mention that the Beast of Baghdad and his two sons had every form of BEASTIALITY and CHILD PORNOGRAPHY in their possession...
True. But the poisons he used were poisons the U.S. government provided him in the war against Iran. Maybe that makes me part of the
"(B)lame America First" crowd, I dunno. And those two psycho sons of his---may Lucifer be babecuing theire azzes at this moment--not only had the worst kiddie and beastie porn, I'll bet they made it and starred in it. Heck, I'll bet they made snuff movies too!

I'd like to divert this into a different direction. Saddam, and other dictators, need to be held accountable for their misdeeds, no question. But
WE, THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES
true blue as we are, need to take responsibility for the actions of our government, going back at least as far as Eisenhower. We have sponmsored the overthrow of democratically elected governments in a number of countries, we have financed governments that have supported death squads, we have supplied weopons to tyrants like Saddam, we have trained local police in the most inhumane interogation techniques one could imagine, and I can document every claim made here. our claim to the moral high ground runs very thin, especially when Cheney et al oppose a ban on torture. Not being religios, I may have this wrong, but it seems to me that there is something in scripture about the sins of the father beign visited on the seventh son of the seventh son. We have a long way to go to claim any moral high ground, and Lil' Georgie, with his provarications etc, just adds to the time it will take. But then, its easier to deny than to confront our collective past.

Glad not to be from the early 30's or 40's but from my child-like view and solution, I always wondered if GANGSTERS then like Capone, Segel, Dillinger were so feared and left to run MOBS there were MORE decent people out there, WHY DIDN'T THEY ALL FIGHT TO HAVE BAD PEOPLE SQUASHED INTO THE GROUND LIKE A ROACH!??
Now gangsta have troops of 30thousand putting fear into the good people of the US and we just come up with 'PROGRAMS' to accommodate them, wouldn't it be nice to know we could go outside and not worry about someone trying to by a kingpn and run everything the way they want by fear and intimidation..? WE have to put an end to it but each year the BAD increase because WE don't DEAL with it properly!
Didn't communities suggest killing all gangleaders is a good start! ? JUST ASKING? How do I know what the solution is?
One of glaring reasons the mob was able to thrive(oh, Dillinger wasn't mob, he was an independent conractor), was because
Jedgar Hoover protected them. Probably something to do with his love of horse racing, or maybe he had a thing for
one or more of them. During Hoovers reign he continually denied the existence of la Cosa Nostra, instead he turned his bile on people he deemed dangerous to America, like freedom riders, anti segregationists, and peaceniks, Martin Luther King,
John Lennon, that sort.

yeah, and i reject these oil-company lackey pinheads who are loitering in the white house now as part of the government. i couldn't help but notice, particularly after katrina, that they can't be bothered to govern. it's just a perpetual PR campaign.
anyway, based on what you've said you obviously don't believe that "we are the government" unless your guy's in office.
But THAT'S politics1
It's one group wanting 'THEIR'guy in over the other and whomevers group has more pushgets their choice..can't argue that..However MY government is NOT one who breaks laws without me making a fuss over it ..I can't rally the masses to protest but I can protest with my vote or letter of protest..In one case, when former Gov. Davis was found to allow MTBE to remain in the gasoline that was a KNOWN cancer causing agent, I wrote and asked/maybe demanded he begin to remove it as I KNEW he had the power in one statement to begin its removal, HE at first gave an ambiguous answer to my letter, I wrote back with MY PROOF of his abilities, HE THEN SHUFFLED MY LETTER TO A LEGISLATOR IN D.C. who had NO REASON to have to address it and I wrote again to the governor stating how he skirted the accusations, HE WROTE BACK with his explanation of how he would begin a program to remove it little by little!
I've been part of that system..even the removal little by little was a cheap ploy to please the people who paid him!
Al Gore gave Gov. Davis the right to immediately reduce MTBE yet Gov. tried to act like it was detrimental to the economy when TEXAS had the same proposal and REFUSED its use and is better off!
Now I watch and listen to others going thru all other issues that could use reform and sympathize.
I hate politics!

Of all the things listed by DC, what exactly was on OUR behalf? What did Saddam do to US? What did WE have to do with Vietnam? Gulf War I? Everything ELSE we've been involved in during the past 50 or so years? ??? ???
Well, it depends on what you mean by "OUR". To conservatives, for whom class analysis is anathma, we are one big happy family and share all interests in common, what's good for GM is good for America, "shake hands with your boss and look wise" as the old Wobbly song put it. For those of us who do apply a class analysis, as James Madison did, the question of benefits always has to be narrowed down to which people benefit, who wins and who loses. So yeah, Anaconda and Kennicott copper benefited from the overthrow of the Chilean gov't in 1973 etc. but the average working stiff didn't.

Yes, and those chickens come home to roost, as in Iran. Good Lord, its a wonder the whole world doesn't hate us. Certainly the people of the countries you name, and a good many others could.
As long as the RICH Right-wing elitist snobs are in our government....lower-middle class and poor people get SCREWED OVER while chicken-hawks like Dumbya and his yes-men send our husbands, wives, brothers, sisters and even our KIDS just out of high school to fight stupid, unnecessary wars and get shot at and possibly die...which is not fair.

I agree with you on all counts! I personally don't understand how anyone would want him in office for eight years, given all the nonsense he caused during his first term.
