		<description>You guys all need to get a grip all I see is GW lied yet you provide not single shred of proof.
Bad intel is bad intel all you 20/20 hindsight armchair generals crack me up.  Nevermind most everyone in power within the last 15 years all agreed Saddam had WMD&#039;s nevermind he had the precursors to make them and was hiding and moving his scientists around.
Nevermind that when the UN inspectors were in Iraq they were not given free roaming rights in the country in fact one site they walked up to the gaurds began shooting over their heads forcing them to leave.
Forget the vast weapons dumps in Iraq and that only 1% of them had been checked for WMD&#039;S.
I bet you clowns don&#039;t even know about the underground tunnels linking all the palaces in Bagdad together or the fact that trucks could drive around in them.
Nevermind we are still digging up entire aircraft and tanks from under the big catbocks knwon as Iraq.

Did you know it takes only a small suitcase of VX gas or ricin to kill an entire city if properly used?
Guess what you could bury a tractor trailer in the desert of Iraq and never find it unless you know exactly where it is.

Bunch of freaking parrots all squacking the DNC talking points and the number 52 post takes the cake for the biggest bunch of lies and half truths I have had the privledge to read buwahahahahahahahaha.

Guess what boys and girls we are in Iraq right or wrong and if we leave before we have setup a stable government there really will be hell to pay and unlike Vietnam the millions of dead won&#039;t be Vietnamese.
Get a clue dump the DNC attack talking points and the liberal BS media and lets get the job done and bring home the troops.

Can anyone tell me why we still have troops in Germany and South Korea?</description>

		<description>post number 52... now i know we&#039;re screwed. After reading that, it all makes TOO MUCH sense. I understand now... before i read that, i had only clues and glimpses into the darkness of GWB... that takes the cake. That post needs to be in some sort of outline format and posted on it&#039;s own site somewhere... and with pictures. If it already is, please let me know, so i can spread it. We are being terrorized by our own President. I am so ashamed of them right now.</description>

		<description>[...] Senators Patrick Leahy, Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin just sent a letter to Attorney General Gonzales with some important questions about Ahmed Chalabi&#8217;s visit to Washington D.C. The Senators appear concerned that Chalabi&#8217;s visit could compromise the FBI investigation into allegations that Chalabi passed classified information to Iran: 1. In light of the ongoing FBI investigation, were you notified by the White House of Mr. Chalabi&#8217;s visit? Before his schedule was finalized, did you have an opportunity to advise the White House about whether it was appropriate for Mr. Chalabi to meet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Treasury Secretary John Snow, and possibly with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and Vice President Richard Cheney?

		<description>Ahmed Chalabi, is the kind of a guy, that the Bush Administration can do business with.  More than this, he is soon to be an honoured guest at the White House with Condi and other senior officials for high level talks, and to toast the birth of &quot;Iraqi Democracy&quot;.  Ain&#039;t it just a shame that 2043 American men and women, and tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children, are not around to join in the fun.</description>

The Libby Indictment Evidence of Conspiracy to Cause War for Reaganomic CEO Profiteering, Oil, Private Power and Gain and Global Military â€œSupremacyâ€ for this GW Bush Administration:

GW Bush Lied about 9/11 and â€œWMDâ€ as â€œExcusesâ€ to â€œRetaliateâ€  to Cause War for Private Profiteering, Oil, Power and Global Military â€œSupremacyâ€ for this GW Bush Administrationâ€¦

George Bush Junior needed 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€ to â€œretaliateâ€â€¦..an excuse to invade Iraq of, by, for oil (Wolfowitz, 2003), profit (CorpWatch, 2002; Dow Jones, 2001), power (RICCO, 2002) and global military â€œsupremacyâ€ (PNAC, 2000)â€¦. both GW Bush and Rumsfeld demanding that the US invade Iraq immediately after 9/11â€¦â€¦ evidence that GW Bush needed 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€â€¦..

But GW and Rumsfeld had no legal evidence for that invasion thenâ€¦â€¦.and still donâ€™t, soâ€¦..they made it upâ€¦.. â€œWeapons of Mass Destruction,â€ â€¦â€¦and â€œretaliatedâ€ against Ambassador Wilson for exposing the forgery of so-called fraudulent â€œevidenceâ€ that â€œScooterâ€ Libby and GW Bushâ€™s White House (WHIG) tried to use to claim that Saddam Hussein â€œhad WMDâ€ â€¦.when he did not (Kay, Kelly, Blix, Ritter, Duelfer, 2002, 2003, 2004) to cause a crimnal war of aggression in Iraqâ€¦â€¦..even though this GW Bush administration admitted that it, too could not find â€œWMDâ€ in Iraq (Bush, 2005)â€¦â€¦.even though all weapons inspectors found â€œno WMDâ€ in Iraq (Kay, Kelly, Blix, Ritter, Duelfer, 2002, 2003, 2004)(Bush, 2005)â€¦.even though Duelfer reported that Husseinâ€™s capacity for invading was destroyed in GW I in 1991â€¦.even though GW Bush rushed to our US Congress with forged â€œevidenceâ€ to claim that the US needed to invade Iraq before the 2002 election because Saddam Hussein â€œhad WMDâ€ (Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS et al)â€¦when he did not.    

But the evidence is clear, legal evidence, facts, documents and the October 28, 2005 Libby indictment, the â€œtip of the icebergâ€ â€¦the evidence that George Bush Junior lied and conspired skillfully and systematically to cause a criminal war of aggression against Iraq, that this GW Bush White House (WHIG; Libby, 2005) lied and conspired skillfully and systematically to â€œfix the facts and intelligence to fit the policyâ€ (DSM, 2002;LT, 2005) â€¦.. to cause a criminal war of aggression of, by,  for private profiteering (Corpwatch 2002; Dow Jones, 2001; Moore, 2004)â€¦and this GW Bush administration was desperate to eliminate those who stood in the way of his march to warâ€¦â€¦eliminate any information that did not â€œfit the policyâ€ to invade Iraq and beyondâ€¦..this GW Bush administration â€œretaliatingâ€ against weapons inspector Kelly and against Senator Paul Wellstone and against Ambassador Wilson because they stood in the way of that metallic march to war for profit (Corpwatch, 2002), oil (Wolfowitz, 2003), power (Marianni, RICCO, 2002) and global military â€œsupremacyâ€ (PNAC, 2000) for this GW Bush administrationâ€¦ .. 

So why isnâ€™t America impeaching George Bush Junior when causing a criminal war of aggression for private profiteering is no less than a crimeâ€¦..violating our US Constitution, international laws and treaties and moral laws of reciprocity?

George Bush Juniorâ€™s â€œblueprintâ€ for his administration (ABC, 2003), his own 2000 Project for a New American Century report (PNAC Rebuilding Americaâ€™s Defenses report, 2000) published an entire year before 9/11 claimed openly and shamelessly on pages 50-51 that the US needed a â€œnew Pearl Harborâ€ (PNAC, 2000) to cause a â€œmilitary transformationâ€  (PNAC, 2000)â€¦â€¦a Reaganomic corporatization of our US militaryâ€¦â€¦ and a historic escalation of military spending that our US Congress would not have approved without 9/11â€¦..and voting for a Patriot Act republished at 3:45 AM before the vote (Unconstitutional, 2005) that crushes civil liberties that our US Congress would not  have approved without 9/11â€¦â€¦of, by, for global military â€œsupremacyâ€ (PNAC, 2000) for this GW Bush administrationâ€¦â€¦the 2000 PNAC report evidence that this GW Bush White House needed 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€ to cause war to cause a Reaganomic corporatization of the US military, privatization, deregulation, tax cuts â€¦for private wealth (Leach, 2002), for the richest 1% that own more than 90% of the wealth (Nader, 1996)â€¦..and to crush the political opposition.

A â€œnew Pearl Harborâ€?

Global military â€œsupremacyâ€?

George Bush Junior needed 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€ to invade Iraq for oilâ€¦.to cause war ....for oil (Wolfowitz, 2003), Iraq the second largest reserve of oil in the world:  GW Bush and Rumsfeld demanded immediately after 9/11 that the US invade Iraqâ€¦.even though they had no evidence then for that invasionâ€¦.and still donâ€™t (9/11 Commission, 2003)â€¦â€¦

George Bush Junior tried to block the 2002 Downing Street Memos from the US â€œmediaâ€ (McGovern, 2005), but Foxâ€™s Rupert Murdoch ironically published the 2002 Downing Street Memos as headlines in his London Times on May 1, 2005 and through May, the 2002 DSM evidence from the highest levels of British intelligence that this GW Bush administration lied and conspired to â€œfix the facts and the intelligence to fit the policyâ€ â€¦the â€œpolicyâ€ to bomb Iraq through the summer of 2002 illegally and secretly to try to force Saddam Hussein to â€œretaliateâ€ as an â€œexcuseâ€ to invade Iraq (DSM, 2002;LT, 2005) â€¦â€¦for oil (Wolfowitz, 2003)â€¦..as playground bullies also need â€œexcusesâ€ to â€œretaliateâ€ to start a fightâ€¦GW Bush also refusing to join the International Criminal Courtâ€¦.

Why?

GW Bushâ€™s Paul Wolfowitz admitted in June, 2003 at the Asian Summit that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was â€œabout oilâ€ and that the term â€œWMDâ€ or â€œWeapons of Mass Destructionâ€ were a â€œbureaucratic excuseâ€  for that invasion (Wolfowitz, Asian Summit, Global Policy Forum, The Guardian, 2003)â€¦.. a â€œbureaucratic excuseâ€ for that â€œpolicyâ€ of invasion â€¦

But GW Bush tried to censor Wolfowitzâ€™s statements that the invasion of Iraq was â€œabout oil,â€ also (The Guardian, 2003).   And he waited until 2005 to admit that 1) he, too, could find â€œno WMDâ€ and 2) the US could not withdraw from Iraq because of oil. GW Bushâ€™s Oâ€™Neill admitted in January, 2004 that GW Bush was looking for an â€œexcuseâ€ to invade Iraq in January, 2001, months before 9/11.

Secrecy has become a great legacy of this GW Bush administration:  GW Bushâ€™s US Supreme Court protected the desperate secrecy of Dick Cheneyâ€™s  numerous rendezvous (about 6 times) with GW Bushâ€™s Enronâ€™s Ken Lay, Enron the largest contributor to GW Bushâ€™s 2000 campaign, Cheneyâ€™s private public policy meetings of his private CEO â€œEnergy Task Forceâ€ early in 2001 to study maps of oil fields in Iraq (Judicial Watch, 2003) before 9/1â€¦â€¦those maps and that secrecy evidence that Cheney and Lay and others conspired to cause 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€ to invade for oil, the same US Supreme Court that ordered Florida to stop counting ballots that would have put Democrat Al Gore into the White House, instead (Palast, 2000, 2004)â€¦..the minutes of those Cheney-Enron meetings in early 2001 evidence that GW Bushâ€™s Cheney and Lay were conspiring to cause war for oil, Iraq the second largest reserve of oil in the worldâ€¦..and GW Bush and Enron needing an â€œexcuseâ€ to invade Afghanistan for GW Bushâ€™s Enron to erect an oil pipeline through Afghanistan to connect the â€œcheaperâ€ oil of the Caspian Sea with Enronâ€™s power plant in northern India, Enron the largest contributor to GW Bushâ€™s 2000 campaign.  President Carter documented the importance of Afghanistan for American over-dependence on oil from Afghanistan (SOTU, 1980) after GW Bushâ€™s dad, GHW Bush was director of the CIA during the Ford administration, Bush senior digging the caves in Afghanistan for the Taliban, the Taliban of Saudi origin and the Saudis subsidizing Bush family businesses, GW Bush removing 28 pages from the 9/11 report that detailed the links between the Saudis and financing of terror, and ripping out pages from another report, also,  both the Bush and bin Laden families profiting from the oil industry, this GW Bush White House escorting about 100 Saudis out of the US, even though most of the so-called â€œhijackersâ€ were Saudi with stolen passportsâ€¦..most of those names not appearing on United or American passenger lists from 9/11â€¦..and George Bush Senior sat with the Saudis, with the Carlyle group of war profiteers on the morning of 9/11 at the Ritz in DC to watch the WTC towers fall as fast as stocks for war profiteers skyrocketed (Dow Jones, 2001)â€¦.The evidence of conspiracy to cause war for private profiteering and political gain or treason would fill volumes, but I should not need to spend days and weeks and months and years defending myself, my family, my nation from criminals in my White House.


So we got 9/11 to invade Afghanistanâ€¦.and Iraqâ€¦and install former oil CEOs as heads of state in both Afghanistan and Iraqâ€¦and to erect that pipeline that Enron wantedâ€¦.and both GW Bush and Rumsfeld demanded that the US invade Iraq immediately after 9/11, even though they had no legal evidence for that invasion (of Iraq) thenâ€¦.and still donâ€™tâ€¦.So we got the secret and illegal bombing of Iraq through the summer of 2002 to try to force Saddam Hussein to â€œretaliateâ€ as an â€œexcuseâ€ to invade Iraq (DSM, 2002; LT, 2005).  But Saddam Hussein did not or could not â€œretaliateâ€ after the illegal 2002 bombing because his ability to â€œretaliateâ€ had been destroyed in GWI in 1991 (Duelfer, 2004)â€¦..so GW Bush needed another â€œexcuseâ€â€¦so we got  the phantom â€œWMDâ€ stories  or â€œWeapons of Mass Destructionâ€ ad nauseumâ€¦..when weapons inspectors and even this GW Bush administration found â€œno WMDâ€  (Kay, Kelly, Blix, Ritter, Duelfer, 2002, 2003, 2004) and even this GW Bush admitted that it, too, could find â€œno WMDâ€ in Iraqâ€¦.but not until after the 2004 election, of course (Bush, 2005) even though GW Bush rushed to our US Congress with forged â€œevidenceâ€  (Wilson, 2003) fraudulently shortly before the 2002 Congressional elections to claim that Saddam Hussein most definitely had â€œWMDâ€â€¦.when he did not and â€¦..most definitely was really ready to drop an atomic bomb onto the USâ€¦.when he was notâ€¦to cause paralyzing fear of either-or absolutes that war profiteers need to cause war â€¦.. yet weapons inspectors found â€œno WMDâ€  in Iraq (Kay, Kelly, Blix, Ritter, Duelfer, 2002, 2003, 2004), even this GW Bush administration admitted that they, too, could find â€œno WMDâ€â€¦but only after the 2004 Presidential election because if, well, voters had learned that GW Bush had lied about â€œWMDâ€â€¦.then they wouldnâ€™t have voted for him now would they?  But GW Bush really wanted to be our â€œwartime presidentâ€ because presidents that â€œwinâ€ wars also â€œwinâ€ electionsâ€¦â€¦â€¦ 2000 deaths after the SS Lincoln.

GW Bush blocked publication and broadcast of the Downing Street Memos in the US, the DSM that verified that â€œretaliationâ€ and â€œexcuseâ€ have become official â€œpolicyâ€ of this GW Bush administration:   

GW Bush needed 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€ to â€œretaliateâ€â€¦..as GW Bush â€œretaliatedâ€ against Senator Paul Wellstone who stood in the way of GW Bushâ€™s march to war, Wellstoneâ€™s plane dropping mysteriously out of the sky shortly before he was expected to win his US Senate race in 2002â€¦..as Governor Carnahanâ€™s plane also dropped out of the sky mysteriously shortly before he, also was expected to win his US Senate race against John Ashcroft, the US military testing remote control technology in 2001, remote control technology probably causing 9/11, and Wellstoneâ€™s assassination causing a Democratically-controlled US Senate to turn Republican-controlled by no accidentâ€¦â€¦. and George Bush Junior and his GW Bush White House did â€œretaliateâ€ against Weapons Inspector Kelly and others to silence them, to crush the political opposition, to intimidate others that might stand up and speak out with fear, fear, intimidation, â€œretaliationâ€ and â€œexcuseâ€â€¦. as documented by the indictment of GW Bushâ€™s â€œScooterâ€ Libby on October 28, 2005, the â€œtip of the icebergâ€â€¦..as GW Bushâ€™s White House â€œretaliatedâ€ against Ambassador Joseph Wilson for exposing the GW Bush White House forgery  that GW tried to use to try to â€œproveâ€  fraduently that Hussein â€œhad WMDâ€  to cause war frauduentlyâ€¦.when Hussein did not have â€œWMDâ€ (Kay, Kelly, Blix, Ritter, Duelfer, 2002, 2003, 2004)â€¦. by exposing the CIA identity of Ambassador Wilsonâ€™s wife, Valerie Plame, exposing her CIA identity for political gain, to cause a war for profit and power for GW Bush a felonyâ€¦â€¦.that felony only a clue to the plot that not even Adolf Hitler could have imagined (Prescott Bush, John Buchanan, National Archives, 2003).

Enough.

Then, Rupert Murdochâ€™s Fox News published an article online about the Downing Street Memos in June, 2005 and then the bombs ripped apart the mass transit system in Londonâ€¦ Retaliation?  â€¦ And GW Bush used those bombings as an â€œexcuseâ€ to push his Patriot Act II through our US Congress in July, 2005, abusing power of our US Presidency and US Constitution and moral laws of reciprocity again.â€¦...

This GW Bush administration threatened the Taliban shortly before 9/11 with a â€œcarpet of goldâ€¦or a carpet of bombsâ€ when the Taliban refused to allow CEO Bush to erect an oil pipeline through Afghanistanâ€¦..to connect to Enronâ€™s power plant in northern Indiaâ€¦..but GW Bush claimed that â€œevil onesâ€ had caused 9/11, 9/11 our â€œnew Pearl Harborâ€ (PNAC, 2000), 9/11 an â€œexcuseâ€ to â€œretaliateâ€ to cause a â€œmilitary transformationâ€ for global military â€œsupremacyâ€ for this GW Bush administration.

A civil nation would investigate, indict and impeach nowâ€¦..by nowâ€¦..before itâ€™s too late.

Are we civil?</description>

<p>GW Bush needed 9/11 as an â€œexcuseâ€ to â€œretaliateâ€â€¦..as GW Bush â€œretaliatedâ€ against Senator Paul Wellstone who stood in the way of GW Bushâ€™s march to war, Wellstoneâ€™s plane dropping mysteriously out of the sky shortly before he was expected to win his US Senate race in 2002â€¦..as Governor Carnahanâ€™s plane also dropped out of the sky mysteriously shortly before he, also was expected to win his US Senate race against John Ashcroft, the US military testing remote control technology in 2001, remote control technology probably causing 9/11, and Wellstoneâ€™s assassination causing a Democratically-controlled US Senate to turn Republican-controlled by no accidentâ€¦â€¦. and George Bush Junior and his GW Bush White House did â€œretaliateâ€ against Weapons Inspector Kelly and others to silence them, to crush the political opposition, to intimidate others that might stand up and speak out with fear, fear, intimidation, â€œretaliationâ€ and â€œexcuseâ€â€¦. as documented by the indictment of GW Bushâ€™s â€œScooterâ€ Libby on October 28, 2005, the â€œtip of the icebergâ€â€¦..as GW Bushâ€™s White House â€œretaliatedâ€ against Ambassador Joseph Wilson for exposing the GW Bush White House forgery  that GW tried to use to try to â€œproveâ€  fraduently that Hussein â€œhad WMDâ€  to cause war frauduentlyâ€¦.when Hussein did not have â€œWMDâ€ (Kay, Kelly, Blix, Ritter, Duelfer, 2002, 2003, 2004)â€¦. by exposing the CIA identity of Ambassador Wilsonâ€™s wife, Valerie Plame, exposing her CIA identity for political gain, to cause a war for profit and power for GW Bush a felonyâ€¦â€¦.that felony only a clue to the plot that not even Adolf Hitler could have imagined (Prescott Bush, John Buchanan, National Archives, 2003).</p>
<p>Enough.</p>
<p>Then, Rupert Murdochâ€™s Fox News published an article online about the Downing Street Memos in June, 2005 and then the bombs ripped apart the mass transit system in Londonâ€¦ Retaliation?  â€¦ And GW Bush used those bombings as an â€œexcuseâ€ to push his Patriot Act II through our US Congress in July, 2005, abusing power of our US Presidency and US Constitution and moral laws of reciprocity again.â€¦&#8230;</p>
<p>This GW Bush administration threatened the Taliban shortly before 9/11 with a â€œcarpet of goldâ€¦or a carpet of bombsâ€ when the Taliban refused to allow CEO Bush to erect an oil pipeline through Afghanistanâ€¦..to connect to Enronâ€™s power plant in northern Indiaâ€¦..but GW Bush claimed that â€œevil onesâ€ had caused 9/11, 9/11 our â€œnew Pearl Harborâ€ (PNAC, 2000), 9/11 an â€œexcuseâ€ to â€œretaliateâ€ to cause a â€œmilitary transformationâ€ for global military â€œsupremacyâ€ for this GW Bush administration.</p>
<p>A civil nation would investigate, indict and impeach nowâ€¦..by nowâ€¦..before itâ€™s too late.</p>

		<description>Ringo is almost right, but then again the devil is in the details, and inept children, republicans have no head for figures or facts.

The 1998 bill that Clinton signed was &#039;generic&#039; and didn&#039;t include provisions specifically for Chalabi.  It was the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS that attached an amendment in 1999 to the APPROPRIATIONS BILL, titled IRAQ OPPOSITION,
Sec. 590.

&quot;Acts making appropriations for foreign operations, not less than $8,000,000 shall be made available for 
assistance to the Iraqi democratic opposition. Of this amount, not less than $3,000,000 should be made available as a grant for the Iraqi National Congress.&quot;

This was a republican act from a republican congress that was one small amendment in a very large appropriations bill.  I frankly wouldn&#039;t be surprised if Clinton even noticed it the dollar amount is so small.  This didn&#039;t make Chalabi the &#039;go to guys&#039;, despite the misrepresented claims to the contrary.</description>
