Thompson Links Reid To 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists, Claims He Is ‘Encouraging Our Enemies’

fred-dalton-thompson-5_170×227shkl.jpgIn his latest ABC News podcast, former senator Fred Thompson suggests that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) criticized outgoing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace last week to appeal to “fringe” anti-American elements “who think the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.”

Reid “made his statement about General Pace on a conference call with fringe elements of the blogosphere who think we’re the bad guys,” Thompson says. “Whether he means to or not, he’s encouraging our enemies to believe that they are winning the critical war of will.”

Thompson also compares 9/11 conspiracy theories to claims that the war in Iraq was a “sinister Republican plot.” He says, “Reid has led the attack on the administration, with Nancy Pelosi, charging it lied and tricked America into supporting the war.” Thompson claims that “multiple hearings and investigations into pre-war intelligence findings” have “debunked this paranoid myth.”

Thompson’s attempt to link Reid to conspiracy theorists is completely baseless. Thompson also gets his facts wrong. In fact, multiple hearings and investigations have conclusively shown that intelligence was manipulated to send this country into war. Among many examples:

– The Pentagon’s inspector general found that former Undersecretary of Defense Doug Feith developed, produced, and disseminated “alternative intelligence assessments” to falsely claim that a relationship existed between Iraq and al Qaeda.

– The White House set up intelligence stovepipes to “get information they wanted directly to the top leadership.” Vice President Cheney and company relied on information provided by the Iraqi National Congress, an exile group headed by Ahmad Chalabi. “Chalabi’s defector reports were…flowing from the Pentagon directly to the Vice-President’s office, and then on to the President, with little prior evaluation by intelligence professionals.” State Dept. intelligence expert Greg Thielmann said that prior to the Iraq war that “garbage was being shoved straight to the President.”

UPDATE: Bob Geiger, one of the bloggers on Reid’s conference call, responds to Thompson HERE.

Transcript:

Well, you’ve heard by now that Senate leader Harry Reid insulted one of this country’s brightest military minds, Marine Corps General Peter Pace — calling him “incompetent.” Let me take a few moments to put this in context.

First, Harry Reid voted for the war, like a majority of our legislators. America decided as a nation to free Iraq and the region from Saddam Hussein’s tyranny. I have friends, both Democrat and Republican, who questioned the decision at the time, but the Republic made a commitment based on constitutional and democratic procedures. So they are now a hundred percent committed to moving forward in a way that’s best for our country. None of them, by the way, believe surrendering to the forces of terror in Iraq is what’s best for our country.

Harry Reid, though, has taken a different route. He made his statement about General Pace on a conference call with fringe elements of the blogosphere who think we’re the bad guys. This is a place where even those who think the 9/11 attacks were an inside job find a home.

And why shouldn’t they think that? Reid has led the attack on the administration, with Nancy Pelosi, charging it lied and tricked America into supporting the war. Ignoring multiple hearings and investigations into pre-war intelligence findings that have debunked this paranoid myth, they accuse an entire administration of conspiracy to trick us into a war.

I suppose that’s easier for some than admitting that they’ve flip flopped — but the fact that Reid says this sinister Republican plot is going to help him elect more Democrats ought to be raising a few flags. Saying General Pace is incompetent doesn’t even rank near the top of his bizarre statements.

How could anyone possibly believe, as Reid charges, that our commanding general in Iraq, David Petraeus, is out of touch with what’s going on. Surely someone in Reid’s position would know that Petraeus is briefed daily on all aspects of Iraq — from civil to military. Surely he has to know that Petraeus is a true warrior scholar who literally wrote the Army’s book on counterinsurgency warfare.

But Reid’s comments are not meant for logical analysis. He proclaimed the war lost some time ago, and the surge as a failure even before the additional troops were on the ground. The problem is that every one of Reid’s comments I’ve noted here has also been reported gleefully by Al Jazeera and other anti-American media. Whether he means to or not, he’s encouraging our enemies to believe that they are winning the critical war of will.

    sigh… it doesn’t matter…

    he got his message out there… the one the bots want to hear…

    abc enabled it… it’s what they do… they ALL do…

    now, who, besides TP and MM and the hated blogoshpere
    are going to point out the fallicies to the joe blows out there?
    who’d gonna hear that?
    … sigh…

  3. spit take says:

    Dang. “Law and Order” Fred isn’t even officially IN the race yet, and he’s already so bereft of ideas that he has to resort to this? Republicans are well and truly politically bankrupt.


  4. Zooey says:

    Wow, it’s true. Fred Thompson IS lazy.


  5. Ringo says:

    So how do all the 9/11 “Troofers” here at TP feel about Thompson linking you all to Harry Reid?


  6. PB says:

    The administration either lied about the war, or they are astoundingly incompetent, or both. There really isn’t another option.


  7. SouthWest Bob says:

    All the repubs will utilize the Rovian practice of putting out whatever they think their supporters want to hear and will confuse non-supporters regardless of the truthfulness. The repubs control the press in the country and any retraction or “correction” will be found on page 87 of the want ads, several weeks later.

    Besides being lazy Fred Thompson is showing a real talent for recklessness. Maybe the two traits go together.

    TP seems to have a problem with Thompsons’ criticism of Reids’ feeding the frenzy of the 9/11 “conspiracy wack” “fringe-freaks” who post here and elsewhere. Why? Al Jezeera appreciates the new material Reid provides. Harry Reid is simply whipping up the basest of the lib political base – Reid is a great gift to conservatives. Thanks Harry!!

    I agree PB.

    And either way they shouldn’t be running things.


  14. stopthecons says:

    whether it’s a conspiracy or not isn’t the point. The fact remains – American aggression and militarism over the last 5+ decades have encouraged and incited hatred and violence against the United States.

    It’s policy that’s the problem, and it’s policy that needs to be changed.

    Call that Blame America – I don’t care. It’s the truth.

    We need to change course, now.

  36. Briseadh na Faire says:

    Hey, Venus, I’ve asked you before to reconcile the Official Story with the facts. You’ve continually begged the question. Since I’m not studying for the Bar this summer, I’ve spent some time reading the 9/11 Commission report.

    I found this interesting:

    9/11 Commission report:

    Between 9:34 and 9:30, the Cleveland controller observed United 93 climbing to 40,700 feet and immediately moved several aircraft out its way.

    At 9:32, a hijacker, probably Jarrah, made or attempted to make the following announcement to the passengers of Flight 93: “Ladies and Gentlemen: Here the captain, please sit down keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb on board. So, sit.” the flight data recorder (also recovered) indicates that Jarrah then instructed the plane’s autopilot to turn the aircraft around and head east.
    The cockpit voice recorder data indicate that a woman, most likely a flight attendant, was being held captive in the cockpit. She struggled with one of the hijackers who killed or otherwise silenced her.
    Shortly thereafter, the passengers and flight crew began a series of calls from GTE airphones and cellular phones. These calls between family, friends, and colleagues took place until the end of the flight and provided those on the ground with firsthand accounts. They enabled the passengers to gain critical information, including the news that two aircraft had slammed into the World Trade Center.

    *****
    In other words, according to the Official Story, Flight 93 was at 40,700 feet elevation when the cell phone calls were made.


    The technology to make cell phone calls possible from 40,000′ did not exist in commercial aircraft in 2001.

    The so-called cell phone calls from Flight 93 are a HOAX.

    Was this guy paying any attention in November? This stuff is pathetic and it doesn’t work anymore. The GOP is going to get slaughtered again in 08. They’re driving off a political cliff and fools like him and Romney and Fooliani are saying Full Speed Ahead!

    It’s political suicide to continue to cast the 2/3 of Americans who disagree with you as America-hating pussies. The Republicons won’t be winning any more elections until they start to show some respect for opinions that differ from theirs.

    Bring it on!

  45. margaret says:

    Virus likes the idea of a Kucinich/Thompson debate eh? Hmmm.

    I suppose it might be somewhat interesting. Thompson would parrot all of the neocon talking points and use the debate to smear his opponents and Kucinich would lay out the sanity of a plan for peace as opposed to all war all the time.

    Probably be surreal.


  46. Alejandro says:

    Fed Thompson never touched pork he didn’t like.


  47. JMOHR says:

    Thompson needs to be dealt with because he lives up to the Republican Television idea of Presidential qualifications. The Republicans merely look for talking head to front for the corporate interests of the party. Bush played the roll of the good ole country boy while really being a spoiled rich child without brains, experience or common sense. Thompson played president and tough prosecutor. (He also fits that common man image – remember his rented pickup truck). As Matthews notes – he seems made for the role. Guilliani – has a high Q factor from being on TV as mayor of NY. (Of course New Yorkers hate him for his incompetence.) McConnell – same pretty boy. The Republicans are all about form without substance. They need to be ridiculed as such. They need to be called out for helping the terrorists do the one thing that no other force has been able to do – pin the US down in a protracted and unwinnable situation in Iraq where it has been able to drain the US Treasury Department, the US Military and destroy our public image. These fools are doing Al Quaeda’s bidding, not Democrats.

    Quite true, since the enemy is the Ruling Elite behind the American Government. War is an excellent method of controlling the civil population and suspending civil liberties.

    The Ruling Class is pushing for a permanent repeal of the Estate Tax, ensuring their dynasties in perpetuity.

    This guy Thompson was a lobbist for 14 years. You know who he is for not the average person. I hope enough American can see that the Republicans are only for the Rich. We can not afford another Republican in the White House. We just have to take our Country back. We need to put impeachment back on the table soon before Old Bush and Cheney invades Iran.

    I will never vote for any Republican.

    The 9/11 was an inside job. Going into Iraq was plan way before Old Bush took office.


  54. valiant venus says:

    I can just picture Thompson debating the naive, sweet Dennis Kucinich.
    “But Fred, I think our enemies will welcome a Department of Peace – afterall, they want to live in a safe environment and provide for their families….if they don’t encourage Ahmed, Jr. to take the easy way out and become a suicide bomber. The fact they want Israel and the US gone is just a little cultural misunderstanding. They want their daughters to be educated…..oh, I forgot….”


  55. Jackie says:

    Thompson should be talking about his part in Watergate as he was a major player and knows how to cover up GOP criminal acts. Now as for 9/11 everyone knows the memo Connie spoke about as Bush went on vacation. The flights that allow the Bin Liden family to leave without being questioned. All the White House officials changed their flight plans on that day. More information has come out that the White House knew of the attack but used it to illegally invade Iraq for oil. Thompson should look at his part in the famous Watergate case as his criminal acts can come back to bit him in the butt. I hope he doesn’t give up his day job because he will need it.


  56. impeachcheneythenbush says:

    Thompson has obviously not read a newspaper or a politically-oriented book for years; there is no other explanation for his profound ignorance. And the GOP (if polls are correct) eat ‘em up. You would think that 6 years of an ignorant, incurious, lazy “leader” would be enough for them.


  57. pre-amerikkkan says:

    this is the leading repugnant-can candidate and he has not even declared yet. if any R gets elected for anything, let us know.

    if you recall, fred thompson was around during the nixon debacle. wonder why he delays his candidacy? he is waiting for impeachment so he is not associated with 43 before the bush stain spreads. he can come out after and gravely say, “those were bad, bad, guys but i’m different.” ha.


  58. Krazny says:

The citizens have spoken and 88% of them surveyed want Bush & Co. OUT OF OFFICE NOW. 9-11 is a completely different animal! Fred Thompson will make a poor President since he intends for the people to fear the government. He wants to extend the Corporate Plutocracy since it allows him to attain wealth and power!

    “He’s worse than a murderer, he’s an actor” – Robert Parks (the Clive Owen character) from the film Gosford ParK.

It’s all very scary, indeed. We are in need of a least a third, possible 4th vital political party to level the playing field to help keep politicians honest, their greed in check.

    you don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that 9/11 was an inside job. you just have to know that 2 + 2 does not equal 6.

    C’mon, people! Let’s not get worked up about the 28%. Sure Thompson’s words are idiotic (to us,) but my guess is that he’s pinging the electorate to see what the response is. If it doesn’t work he’ll try something else. (see: Romney, Mitt; McCain, John; Guiliani, Dipshit)

    No, Old Harry did not trick me. I did alot of reseach on 9/11 and came to the conclusion that this was an inside job. Besides the real reason we went into Iraq was OIL and to make Old Bushies buddies richer.

    There is nothing you can say that would change my mind so don’t waste your time.

    Read David Ray Griffin’s books and you’ll walk away with knowledge.
    Open your mind at least 30%. Have an open minds. The layers of denial are so deep. People don’t want to believe that their own gov’t could actually KILL them to pursue a foreign policy (reckless) that they obviously profit by. Through the years I have gone through stages. It’s so hard to accept the incompetence theory. That would mean that the ENTIRE day took place because of incompetence. I also cannot subscribe to the Let it Happen On Purpose theory. That’s a cop-out.
    I finally, in 2005, came to the belief that 9/11 was a sel-inflicted wound.

    Have an open mind. And read David Ray Griffin’s books.

    “The technology to make cell phone calls possible from 40,000′ did not exist in commercial aircraft in 2001.”

    The GTE airfones on board the aircraft don’t work the same way a regular cell phone works. This is why you aren’t allowed to use a cell phone in flight. The GTE airfones uses an internal highpower transmitter on the plane. Of course the GTE Airfones work at cruising altitude. BTW cell phone calls were possible in 2001. I know because I have sent text messages while flying even before 2001.

    “The so-called cell phone calls from Flight 93 are a HOAX.”

    So all of those family members of the those victims are lying?

    I really think it’s about having an open mind. And gathering the facts. So many events of the day do not add up. Why was on the passports of the “terrorists” clearly found in the rubble of the Trade Towers? Why was there a military standown? Why did the buildings fall at free-fall speed? Why were there put options on the airlines the day before the attacks? I could go on and on.

    I am glad I am aware and awake. It took me 4 years. Like I said. I went through stages. But, I am glad I arrived where I did.

    Didn’t we learn anything from Operation Northwoods? Didn’t we learn anything from The Gulf of Tonkin?

The citizens have spoken and 88% of them surveyed want Bush & Co. OUT OF OFFICE NOW. 9-11 is a completely different animal! Fred Thompson will make a poor President since he intends for the people to fear the government. He wants to extend the Corporate Plutocracy since it allows him to attain wealth and power! These are all liars (actors) and lawyers (liars) spreading more FUD to create more rifts in the general population!

    Was Ron Paul Behind 9/11?

    I notice some Ron Paul supporters think the reason we make fun of Ron Paul is because we’re threatened of his extreme political relevance. Of course, I tease chimps at the zoo, but that doesn’t mean I’m contemplating voting for them.

    Then again, I am threatened by the possibility of monkeys doing some sort of political takeover… while I don’t fear any such thing with Ron Paul.

    Comment by pgw

    I’ve already got a clear picture as to why liberals hate the all-volunteer military that’s in place, yet support the policy of a draft to make an even bigger military for them hate.

    Liberals hate the military, and your one them. Please, explain to me why someone should have to answer to you – whether on count of physical condition, academic or career pursuance, etc. – when you hate the military so much? At any rate, liberals don’t appreciate a good defense, so you don’t have much credibility to rant. This is an all volunteer military, nobody’s forcing anybody to sign-up, neither should they. If I received my draft ticket and dodged, then maybe you could complain. Even if I could get out there and serve my country, you’d still be complaining like your fellow yawping pack of Dumpcrats.


  103. valiant venus says:

    Kay – the facts you “cite” are not facts but suppositions and circumstantial evidence. The theory of why such towers fell was well explained on the “History” channel by architects and engineers.

    Calls from cell phones from a commercial airliner flying at over 40,000 feet in elevation were IMPOSSIBLE. Since the calls were IMPOSSIBLE, the only other conclusion is that they were a HOAX.

In the Icelandic sagas, it is said that Erik the Red was exiled from Iceland for murder. He, along with his extended family and thralls, set out in ships to find the land that was rumoured to be to the northwest. After settling there, he named the land Grønland (”Greenland”), possibly in order to attract more people to settle there.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland#History

    Actually, it would be great if you’d quit pushing your definition of “supporting the military” on others. It makes me icky, since it’s not possible for Liberals to love the military. You do hate the military and you hate the President while doing it. Those who support the policy are walking the talk, and they’re doing so without a draft.

    Nobody should defend ungrateful liberals from terror, for one. They should go home-sweet-home to Al-Qaeda. I think you’re not at liberty to advise who should enlist and who shouldn’t. I know I love this country more than you ever will.

    Here they are

    1993
    Feb. 26, New York City: bomb exploded in basement garage of World Trade Center, killing 6 and injuring at least 1,040 others. In 1995, militant Islamist Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and 9 others were convicted of conspiracy charges, and in 1998, Ramzi Yousef, believed to have been the mastermind, was convicted of the bombing. Al-Qaeda involvement is suspected.

    1996
    June 25, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia: truck bomb exploded outside Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds of others. 13 Saudis and a Lebanese, all alleged members of Islamic militant group Hezbollah, were indicted on charges relating to the attack in June 2001.

    1998
    Aug. 7, Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: truck bombs exploded almost simultaneously near 2 U.S. embassies, killing 224 (213 in Kenya and 11 in Tanzania) and injuring about 4,500. 4 men connected with al-Qaeda 2 of whom had received training at al-Qaeda camps inside Afghanistan, were convicted of the killings in May 2001 and later sentenced to life in prison. A federal grand jury had indicted 22 men in connection with the attacks, including Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, who remained at large.

    2000
    Oct. 12, Aden, Yemen: U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole heavily damaged when a small boat loaded with explosives blew up alongside it. 17 sailors killed. Linked to Osama bin Laden, or members of al-Qaeda terrorist network.

    2001

    …all the while suggesting clinton was responsible for the 1993 wtc bombing, when he had been in office all of 35 days.

    …and suggesting the cole bombing investigation was also supposed to be wrapped up in a nice package by january 2001, four months after it happened. because clearly bush didn’t do anything about it.

    so maybe i missed it – sometime in the last six years, bush MUST have caught bin laden.

    right?

    how long did it take for bush to authorize an investigation into 9/11? what’s that you say? ONLY 411 DAYS?!?

    wow! that’s ONLY more than a year after the event. and it was ONLY the largest single attack on american soil.

    yep, that bush is sure serious about terrorism!


  171. Harry Truman says:

    Krazny okay Brainiac , name all the attacks on the U.S. since 911 . give it to me stupid , I am waiting . you people are so good at spouting Bullshit , and never are able to back it up .

    “Actually, it would be great if you’d quit pushing your definition of “supporting the military” on others. It makes me icky, since it’s not possible for Liberals to love the military.”

    contradicting yourself in 2 short sentences; that’s impressive.

    “I know I love this country more than you ever will.”

    since you seem at home with stereotypes, i’ll speak your language: even if you’re not using your vast experience with first-person shooter games as a measuring stick, that proclamation is both amusing and downright creepy.

    Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice told the 9/11 Commission that when the Bush administration took office on January 20, 2001, “We knew that there was speculation that the 2000 Cole attack was al Qaeda… We received, I think, on January 25th the same assessment [of al-Qaeda responsibility]. It was preliminary. It was not clear.”

    Can you name the author of that quote, DR?

    I guess Clinton didn’t want to run up the deficit, overextend the military, and alienate all of our allies. Good thing Georgie boy was around to do all of that. Besides HT, the one time Clinton did use troops he was attacked by the republican congress, and the future boy king for trying to wag the dog as it were.

    The very idea of a “liberal” party, or any party that doesn’t fully support The War, gives the terrorists a wedge issue, being able to show that America is divided in her support.

    When people in Angola (in Africa) were the target of a secret CIA war and CIA backed dictator, they knew bits of pieces of it.

    They were so paranoid that they believed the CIA was behind every bad incident, including the AIDS epidemic.

    People in the Middle East are at this state of fear and paranoia because of the US occupation and the confirmed CIA secret war going on in the region, especially in Iran.

    The Iraqis blame the US and CIA for the February 2006 Samarra bombing and also the most recent ones.

    Angered and disillusioned Muslims around the world believe that the US and CIA are actively trying to coax them in civil war to divide and conquer the Middle East.

    To be fair, albeit (outside) of the CIA allegedly being behind the AIDS epidemic, all of this is true and has been confirmed.

    That was very creative. You managed to keep it relatively far from anything resembling real life, too.

    “liberals HATE the military” – Really? When you say “military” are you talking about military personnel, the Defense Department, people who make decisions for the military at the very top, or war profiteers who get rich off of taxpayers money by selling the government a lot of things it doesn’t need at prices that are way too high? If you’re talking about just military personnel–you know, the ones who get short-changed by the Bushies when it comes to armor, healthcare, veterans benefits, etc.–you’re way off on that. Liberals aren’t the ones who send them to die at the drop of a hat over a bunch of made-up justifications for invading another country. That’s your team. It’s the righties, especially the ones who always thought that service to one’s country was for chumps. You know: chickenhawks. It’s those cowards in the White House now who are the first ones to volunteer other people’s kids to go die in Iraq. And, if those soldiers they send over are lucky enough to survive their first deployment, it’s the chickenhawks again who will keep sending them back time after time, short on equipment, short on training, and utterly lacking in planning and purpose.

    Since your use of the word “liberal” seems to encompass everyone who isn’t part of the braindead 28% who still think Bush is a “real smart guy and honest, too,” I guess I can speak in general terms about liberals, as well. Liberals don’t hate military personnel. They don’t hate their families. They don’t hate it when our soldiers are engaged in actions that really and truly involve the defense of our country. They appreciate it. They may regret that it’s necessary, but when it is, they back the troops 100%.

    They just don’t back the lying scumbags who use those troops with as much forethought and concern as most people use toilet paper.

    this is what’s known as a specious argument. the uninformed reader is supposed to read that and think, “wow, i guess that means republicans know how to deal with poverty.”

    if you believe that you’re an even bigger whackjob than your posts already make you out to be.

    quite simply, the poverty rate in america fell 2.29 percent annually during the clinton years, but has since gone up 4.33 percent annually in the Bush years.

    all your statement means is that, in general, republicans don’t like to fraternize with those they consider beneath them. they even go so far ast to build walled communities to keep the “common folk” out.

    many poor areas are democratic because they can see that republicans don’t give a sh!t about them.

    Stovepiping is NOT a direct method of transmission, as the above misunderstanding suggests. It’s a method of CONCEALMENT OF BAD GOODS.

    When you pack ONIONS, a stovepipe inserted into the bag allows rotten onions to be put into the center of the bag, with good onions on the outside. The stovepipe is then removed. The consumer has no way of knowing that the bag is full of rotten onions until they open it.

  248. bezelt says:

    It is unbelievable what escapes from the mouths of Republicans. The below comes from this thread:

    He said: “In his latest ABC News podcast, former senator Fred Thompson suggests that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) criticized outgoing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace last week to appeal to “fringe” anti-American elements “who think the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.”

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Finally the neo cons have set Bush up as being “America”. If you criticize The Bush team, you criticize America. anti-Bush IS NOT ANTI-AMERICAN.

    A federal judge said Mr. Bush operated out side his authority when he did his Guantanamo affair. Not quite anti-American enough? How about the 20 articles of impeachment that are on display at the website of ImpeachBush.org.

    Could it be anti-American if one runs the country in a way contrary to the Hatch Act? How about revealing the identity of a CIA operative – that is surely anti-American – isn’t it?

    And what about the Joint Chiefs of Staff upbraiding an American newspaper about an editorial cartoon? That may have been a first. Most, if not all of the “anti-Americans” that the neo con speaks of are just Americans who realize that this country is headed for the “pits” while “mouth pieces” ignore America’s problems.

    Would it be anti-American to start a war based upon a fake prop (yellow-cake). Has that ever been done before? In the history of this country? Lots of people died and lots of money(credit card type) was used. Could that be classified as anti-American?

    And this ex senator believes the title annoints him as a political GURU?

    If so, then Mr. GURU why did the Bush team go to war with Iraq? Mr. GURU your party could use your wisdom. That’s where your comments should be directed. Could you possibly find out about the real reason for the Iraqi war?

    Was it really the oil – all the time? Is that why the Bush team is projecting a long stay in Iraq – to protect the oil. Could you possibly find out the total cost in lives and dollars for the Bush team’s Iraqi adventure?

    Of course, if someone mentions “democracy” or “stopping terroists”, neither one of those goals were reached. Terrorist had to love the Bush team’s removing a sitting government and replacing it with NOTHING. And some Iraqi civilians are being called REFUGEES as they try to escape Baghdad. But nary a “REFUGEE” word from the Bush team. Only from the RED CROSS, and the United Nations.

    The “In Denial” pool is bigger than first imagined.

    The difference is that Bush was elected to do a job, has done it, and people don’t like the result. the Democrat congress was elected to do a job and have not (yet) fulfilled their promises to the people. Harry Reid even called running “anti-war” campaigns, “a mistake”.

    what also takes the cake is trying to act like poll numbers DON’T matter for bush, the six and a half year failure, but somehow they DO matter for reid, who has been senate majority leader for not even half a year.

    “Greenland was never green, it was only named that so more settlers would come. See the following: “The name “Greenland” comes from Scandinavian settlers. In the Icelandic sagas, it is said that Erik the Red was exiled from Iceland for murder. He, along with his extended family and thralls, set out in ships to find the land that was rumoured to be to the northwest. After settling there, he named the land Grønland (”Greenland”), possibly in order to attract more people to settle there.”

    Yeah, Greenland is very icy and Iceland is very green, isn’t it? That’s what June Gudmonsdottir said in “The Player.” (This with the “Gosford Park” reference…is it Robert Altman Day?)


  271. valiant venus says:

    Coach – Liberals like to massage facts to fit their agenda. They completely overlook the FACT that revenue flows into the treasury at greater rates when taxes are low enough to stimulate the engine of the economy. They are under the mistaken impression if we abandon our ally Israel, radical Koranimals will leave us alone. They are convinced that society is better with out moral constraints. (The spike in illegitimacy and juvenile violent crime is not coincidental.)

    I quit liberalism 15 years ago because they were the most depressing people in the world to be around. They will use the Constitution to commit suicide because they generally HATE themselves. They defend the indefensible with glee – Like our enemies in the Middle East who believe it is virtuous to lie to an infidel and hack off heads. They preach tolerance and are the most intolerant of opposing views. It would be far too difficult to expect people to be accountable – so they don’t even try.

    The school system under the tutelage of liberals is dismal – as it was designed. They preach moral relativism and are squishy in terms of national defense. They claim we didn’t surrender in Viet Nam – but i have yet to find the synonym of victory = withdrawal.

    I am looking forward to the ‘08 election because I believe most Americans want nothing to do with capitulating to our enemies.

  273. coachjason says:

    RE 268: I couldn’t agree more. I’ve watched the presidential debates from both parties and of the 20 people there, not a single one was inspiring. Not one cared about anything other than just getting elected. Political differences aside, Clinton won the first time because people related to him. He was the poor boy who made it big. He (didn’t) inhale. America loved him because he was one of us. On the contrary, America also loved Ronald Reagan. He was a stand-up guy… a leader and an insprier. (I’m sure this is where I’ll get called names) Whether you liked them or not, America obviously did because they won their reelections overwhelmingly.
    Nobody on either stage (Democrat or Republican) was a Ron Reagan or a Bill Clinton, and because of that, America is destined to suffer more than we already have.

    2. Which polls are you looking at? I found one recent one that says he has a lower approval than disapproval. Most of the others gave him higher approval/favorable than disapproval/unfavorable.

    3. Interesting how coachjason didn’t mention that none of Reid’s disapproval/unfavorable numbers are anywhere near as high as Bush’s have been for over two years now.

  279. bezelt says:

    Thompson claims Reid is encouraging our enemies? While it is true that the Bush team has made a real mess of Iraq, it had nothing to do with Senator Reid.

    Could “encouraging our enemies” be the reason the Bush team really created a “train wreck” in Iraq? Everybody knows that for every effect (TRAIN WRECK) there is a cause (Americans encouraging our enemies)?

    Here are three main reasons that could have given the insurgents the impetus to fight America:

    (1) 2003 troop count too low. Main stream types asked the Bush team if it did not need more troops? Answer: NO.

    (2) Removing a sitting government and replacing it with NOTHING. This act, trully unbelievable, gave the insurgents the will and the resources to train and prepare for the fight against the Allies. They had four years of ungoverned activity.

    (3) The removed military and police force knew the terrain and knew where the weapons were concealed.

    If the insurgents had all these “gifts” from the bush team, they had no need for “lip service” from any American. But the neo cons started blaming others for the Bush team’s poor performance after removing Saddam Hussein did not fix the perceived terrorist problem. Then the Bush team blamed the following:

    (1) Al Quida
    (2) Fascist Sympathizers
    (3) Americans who would not back off at the command of the then Secretary of Defense.

    And now it looks like there is a brand new entry to take-responsibility-for-the-Bush-team’s-mess. Do not “find fault” with what your President does or you may be “giving aid and comfort to the enemy”. Way to go Bush team democracy. Please export that one.

    under bush homeownership has gone up .37% annually, but that’s actually a slowdown from clinton’s 1.94% annual increase.

    that’s the reality.

    Comment by valiant venus — June 19, 2007 @ 5:3

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Of course, I never linked oil to the national interest. And I don’t believe Mr. bush, in his 2003, yellow cake State of the Union Address did either. If the President had said he was going to war with Iraq to get its oil, all America would have been marching in the streets.

    You see, some Americans still do value ethics, fairness and non aggression in their relationship to other countries.

    The Bush team did not say that Iraq was being invaded to get to the oil. As a matter of fact, the Secretary of Defense, in 2003, said it was not about the Oil. He emphasized that – it was not about the oil.

    If the Iraqi war was about oil, then America has been further “fooled” by the Bush team. First it was the yellow cake fake. And some believe the President knew, at the time of his State of the Union Address, that WMDs were a fake.

    The Bush team told America it was going after TERRORIST and it was aiming to establish democracy in that part of the world. There was no mention of oil, except by the Secretary of Defense saying the Iraq war was not about the oil.

    The value of oil to the country was not something on the Bush team table. If a weaker country has to protect its own resources (no UN help) then that weaker country’s leader has a duty to use all at his disposal to protect his country. It is, as you said – stupid to do otherwise.


  294. Krazny says:

    More to the point Bezelt, if Bush had declared that the entire purpose for invading Iraq was to control the oil supply in Iraq, then thier would be no question that the war was illegal. Attacking a country to control the resources in the country is illegal under UN law. Not that many on the right care. A might makes right attitude is all they need.

I realize that the vast majority of the AF vote GOP, as a rule, but when pressed on issues they tend to support liberal positions (gays in the military, separation of church and state, right to choice, right to privacy, etc).

    Damn, sorry to burst your ignorant bubble there kid.

    Now, unless you KNOW what you’re talking about, maybe discretion IS the better part of valor.

    as i’ve said before, vv,
    i find it hilarious that some of you will scream bloody murder when bush is accused of doing nothing in eight months before 9/11…

    …all the while suggesting clinton was responsible for the 1993 wtc bombing, when he had been in office all of 35 days.

    …and suggesting the cole bombing investigation was also supposed to be wrapped up in a nice package by january 2001, four months after it happened. because clearly bush didn’t do anything about it after he took office.

    so maybe i missed it – sometime in the last six years, bush MUST have caught bin laden.

    Bezell – Going after terrorists over there is alot better than going after them in your neighbourhood.

    bezelt said:

    Well, as the Vice President said in reference to dunking terror suspects in water, that is a no brainer.

    But going after terrorist in some body’s elses country might require some kind of rules be obeyed. And that may be where the Bush team hurts.

    If you are going to replace a sitting government with NOTHING that ought to be cruel and unusual punishment for the non-combatants of that country and that should be “not recommended” by civilized nations – not even to kill terrorists away from your own country.

    I know of no endeavor ( except BIG OIL ) that the Bush team has demonstrated professionalism in. It could be “bad wrong” to think that the only way to do something is the Bush team way.

    And when the Bush team way fails (as it usually does) then the task must be undoable?

    All rules and regulations must be suspended or revoked so that the Bush team is not hampered by rules, laws, logic, common sense and other obstacles to “getting the job done”.

    The Bush team’s way of killing terrorist away from home is ungood. And Afganistan will vouch for that. If you are watching a game of football in a large stadium and the Bush team gets word that a terrorist is also at the game – I feel sorry for you. Big collateral damage is a by product of war…right?

    Valant Venus said:

    And keeping terrorists from controlling a vital national interest (OIL) is not a bad dividend.

    It is difficult for some people (many) to understand who, at the United Nations, authorized the Bush team to go to war with Iraq? If the Bush team went to war in the name of the United Nations how was that documented?

    That question is especially puzzling in light of the United Nations refusal to be a part of the Bush team “Allies” that marched off to war with Iraq.

    Did the Bush team (2003) have authorization from the United Nations to represent the United Nations in the attack on Iraq? Did the Bush team pick up the tab(lives and money) for the Iraq war?

    but eric, 9/11 ISN’T a justification for the iraq war, and it never was. iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

    as i said upthread, one problem i have: how come both condi and george said “we could have never imagined” terrorists flying airplanes into buildings in september 2001, but in july 2001 bush had to stay on a boat at the g8 summit in genoa specifically because they were warned that a terrorist might try to fly a plane into a building?

    Q


  320. bezelt says:

    # 318,

    At last I have found a reference to what I know I heard (just briefly – 1 time) in 2001. All that I recalled hearing was “they never did that before”. I remembered it because it “did not sound right” coming from anyone with responsibility for the protection of this country.

    I did not know who said it.

    Also, in 2001 was mention of American field agents noticing foreign pilots training on American soil. If those foreign pilots came to the attention of the CIA or FBI or some other federal agency, it is easy to think that they reported their observations to their bosses.

    And from there could it have gotten to the White House?

    I wondered at that time if those lost documents that were hand carried to the White House by the head of the CIA (Mr. George Tenet) could have referenced those foreign pilots.

    And regarding those documents that were said to have been hand delivered by Mr. Tenet, I wondered if those documents were viewed by a superior intellect and dumped into a circular file because, “they never did that before”.

    However Mr. Tenet has just written a book and I don’t believe Mr. Tenet’s book indicates his documents related to those foreign pilots.

    But it was interesting to hear again what I knew I heard in 2001 but was never able to find its source. So, thanks lonesomerobot.

    Liberals aren’t the ones who send them to die at the drop of a hat over a bunch of made-up justifications for invading another country.

    That was an exact quote. Now here’s what your straw man said:

    Please illustrate for a us the LOOOONG list of leaders who did not send other people’s children off to fight in wars?

    Here are the key words in MY quote: “Liberals”…”drop of a hat”…”bunch of made-up justifications for invading another country.” I guess your straw man was talking about something different because he said something about a “list of leaders” and sending “other people’s children off to fight in wars.”

    If you’re going to address me and my words, you’ll have to ask the straw man to leave the room.


  322. Ron Jeremy For President says:

    Re 321: In more recent history, the liberals weren’t exactly jumping off the bandwagon when the measure to preemptively invade Iraq was put on their plate. Of course they were lied to, that’s what you tell people when you can’t take responsibility for your own actions.

    The Bush team is not America. The Republican party is not America. The Democratic party is not America. America is America in the absence of all political parties.

    America is the host for everything.

    While some political parties quickly wraps itself in the American flag or an American military uniform or American security when it can’t defend its behavior, Nobody is fooled by that charade.

    Although the Bush team may be visiting the Hatch Act for politicizing most of what it touched, the Bush team is not AMERICA. And the world is likely proud of that.

    So you’ve read that these calls were made and received, know that the most unimpeachable sources possible have testified to their authenticity, had the opportunity to even hear some of these calls yourself via many releases over the past 6 years.

    You know that this evidence has been reviewed by many sources and witnesses, is corroborated and never disputed by them.

    As a wanna-be lawyer you’ve taken this evidence, weighed it against some unspecified assurance that none of that is possible and decided that this proves it was a hoax.

    Well do let us know when you’ll be flunking that bar exam due to a confounding unfamiliarity with the concept and rules of ‘evidence’.

    Is the question why on earth you said it ?

    The Iraq Resolution passed both houses 4 months before the Powell UN presentation.
    It was passed less than 10 months after anyone even raised the issue of Iraq even being mildly dodgy. From zero to approval of invasion in less than a year.

    Those voting for the bill included Kerry, Edwards and Clinton.

    That would certainly appear to be liberals deciding to invade another country based on “made up justifications” at “the drop of a hat”.

  332. J. Shipp says:

    Nothing should disqualify Fred Thompson for the Presidency more immediately and with such finality than adopting the habitual and historical Republican modus operandi of attacking and smearing the messenger. This method of discrediting the statement of Reid (instead of addressing the statement itself) is so typical of this (and other) Republican administrations. Did this administration attempt to refute the findings of Joseph Wilson’s report from Niger? No. They just simply personally attacked the credibility and patriotism of a career diplomat….. and his wife, to boot.

    Now, a second very important reason that Fred Thompson is distinctly unqualified to be President is that he’s another Nixon cronie-holdover. No one connected with the criminal Nixon administration and tactics should be considered a credible or ethical candidate. We have learned that much from Nixonites serving in this administration, haven’t we?!

    Do some damn research and stop believing your phony liberals like Amy Goodman.

    The mainline Democrats want war. Just search Barack Obama+Robert Kagan and maybe you will figure it out. How about Pelosi+AIPAC??

    And for all the shit you guys talk about 9/11 Truth people, they are the only ones that actually have a movement that gets stuff done. They have a fraction of the supposed anti-war “movement”, yet they are the ones that are in the news. Why? Becasue they are active.

Or that his cousin, was CEO of SAME firm? Did you also know that bomb sniffing dogs were REMOVED from towers on Sept.6th! Eric, Why has Bush said TWICE that he saw the 1ST plane hit the towers when there is NO,NO way he could have as video was NOT out til next day! Why did Rummie say twice that flight 93 was shot down?

And I AM an avid 9-11 truther and researcher, who KNOWS beyond ANY shadow of doubt that 9-11 was an inside job with Mossad/Israeli help,too!

    I NEVER said the “Neo-Cons” were NOT behind 9-11, they ARE! Do you know about pure evil PNAC group? In their OWN document dated in 2000, they state that their pure evil plans would have to move slower “Absence a castrophe event, like Pearl Harbor”! And that they had plans to invade Iraq whether Saddam was there or NOT! What was 9-11 but their New Pearl Harbor!? 7 of the supposed highjacker’s are STILL alive! It was Mossad agents flying those planes! Who stold the passport of “Atta” and rest! What does it tell you sheeple, that ALL airport security was handled by an Israeli company with ties to Mossad who also LET Richard Reid board that plane in Paris for U.S.? WAKE UP! Google: 5 dancing Israeli’s! Google Zim shipping, who broke their lease one week before 9-11, proving foreknowledge! And do research on Odiego too! Who has benefited more from 9-11 but Israel? Or should I say pure evil Zionist agenda!? WHO? Besides of course, Bush and cohorts! The war on terrorism is HOAX! ALL OF IT! The war on terrorism is out and out BOGUS! ALL OF IT! Did you all know that Madrid bombings were EXACTLY 911 DAYS AFTER 9-11? NO F*CKING ACCIDENT! No coincidence! We are dealing here with Satan worshipping MF’ers not only in our OWN gov’t but worldwide, who want one world gov’t and one religion,i.e. worshipping Satan and enslaving the world population and they want to slaugher 80% of world’s population too! Go to Prison Planet. com and READ and HEED! And stock up on food, water, and lots of ammo and guns too! ASAP! But don’t panic! And buy some gold and silver coins too! 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB WITH HELP FROM ISRAELI MOSSAD, WHO FLEW THOSE PLANES! Google: Daniel Lewin! Neo-cons WERE involved but fucking treasonous Dem’s some of them, ALSO are traitors for keeping voting with Bush and for NOT wanting to impeach him and Cheney,too! And for siding with Bush all the time! WAKE UP SHEEPLE, MAJORITY IN CONGRESS ARE ALL, ALL ON SAME SIDE, JUST PHONEY ARGUING TO MAKE US SHEEPLE THINK THEY ARE ENEMIES BUT IN REALITY ALL ON SAME SIDE! OR F*CKING MOST OF THEM ANYWAY! SPREAD WORD QUICKLY AND WIDELY! PLEASE STOCK UP ON ALL SURVIVAL GEAR AND ASAP! Including guns and lots of ammo!

    You were asked 1 simple question 4 times.
    You don’t have an answer after 6 years.
    Best of luck with that for the next 6.
