As much as I can fail to imagine a single functioning synapse in Exley&#039;s brain, that is an insult. 

You should have said that Bush is almost as dumb as Jake D.</description>

		<description>&quot;I suggest you listen to the experts.&quot; Tracy your not an expert. Sorry.  The only  &quot;experts&quot; you listen to are the ones that confirm to your confused misrepresentation of the facts. You have a strange understanding of real world problems and even stranger solutions. Once again, &quot;Western Europeans will soon be a minority in their own country,&quot; more xenophoblic baiting.   Have you ever even looked at the census data?</description>

Radical muslims are not a race.  The fact that Western Europe&#039;s large population of immigrant Muslims are being brainwashed by the radicals in countries like Germany, France, and Great Britian and that the &quot;natives&quot; of those countries keep them seperated from their &quot;society&quot; smacks of racism.  I suggest you listen to the experts before you call it fearmongering that today&#039;s Western Europeans will soon be a minority in their own country and if they don&#039;t start accepting these immigrants as equals they will continue to suffer the consequences for their racist attitudes in the way of continued terrorist attacks.

BTW can you explain why Western Europe has such a huge problem with radical Muslims and terrorist cells and the U.S. Muslim population is far more assimilated and economically better off than their couterparts in Europe?</description>

&quot;And we all know the penalty for fooling the UN -&quot;

Well if the rest of the world, except for a few, aren&#039;t willing to enforce their OWN resolutions....someone has to.

&quot;...and creating a haven for al queda&quot;

Haven for al Qaeda?  Anbar province and the Sunnis there is no longer a haven.  The Iraqis are finally turning against al Qaeda. 

&quot;....while making the rest of the civilzed worls hate us&quot;

I really don&#039;t give to shits about what Germany or France thinks about the U.S. considering those two RACIST countries have a far larger problem with radical muslims, who are taking over their counties BTW, than the U.S. could ever dream of.</description>

Yes but U.N. R1441 didn&#039;t just state that if WMDs were found that would be a serious violation.  1441 also stated that it would be a violation by Iraq if ALL of  the previous resolutions passed were not abided by.

&quot;I asked if it could be proven wrong.&quot;

&quot;You choose to believe there were WMD. The rest of the world disagrees with you.&quot;

The rest of the world, AT THE TIME BEFORE THE INVASION, choose to believe that they had all been destroyed.  The past actions of Saddam supported there were WMDs, AT THE TIME BEFORE THE INVASION, backed up by with the intelligence reports.  It&#039;s easy to gloat after the fact now that the intelligence information has been proven to be mostly inaccurate.

&quot;Sorry, the burden is on you to prove he had them, not on the majority of us to prove he didnâ€™t have them.&quot;

How many intelligence agencies from around the world including the UNSCOM need to state that they believed that Saddam had not destroyed all of his WMDs OR dismantled his facilities, OR didn&#039;t want to reconstitute his nuclear program?

&quot;...that point has been verified by Bushâ€™s former Secretrtary of the Treasury and his former National Security Advisor.&quot;

Do you have like to O&#039;Neill&#039;s testimony of this  before Congress or the 9/11 Commission?  Or are you going to cite a book?  BTW which NSA are you referring to?

&quot;The fact that you donâ€™t think discussing issues of National security could be considered a debate also shows how close minded you are.&quot;

When it comes to national security and when the intelligence reports provide the evidence and when it&#039;s clear Saddam was NOT complying with U.N. R1441 the debate ends.  The responsibility of the defence of the U.S. rests with the Commander in Chief, not Congess.  Sorry if I choose to follow the Constitution. 

&quot;We are in this mess because there was not enough debate about the illegal war in the beginning.&quot;

I seem to remember alot of debate and in the end I also seem to remember the vast majority of congress agreeing with Bush.</description>

		<description>&quot;He tried to fool the U.N., AGAIN, plain and simple&quot;

And we all know the penalty for fooling the UN -
America takes it upon itself to bomb your country, killing hundreds of thousands of people who not only didn&#039;t fool us but didn&#039;t attack us either, and creating a haven for al queda while making the rest of the civilzed worls hate us.
But it makes Tracy feel better so I guess it&#039;s worth it.</description>

<p>And we all know the penalty for fooling the UN -<br />
America takes it upon itself to bomb your country, killing hundreds of thousands of people who not only didn&#8217;t fool us but didn&#8217;t attack us either, and creating a haven for al queda while making the rest of the civilzed worls hate us.<br />
But it makes Tracy feel better so I guess it&#8217;s worth it.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4063321', 400, 400)"></a></p>

&quot;....they didnâ€™t find anything, and he wasnâ€™t left alone was he?&quot;

No, because he was not complying with UN R1441.  All he had to do is FULLY comply and he wouldn&#039;t have had a problem.  Instead he led the inspectors on circus trip around the country demanding to know ahead of time when the inspectors would arrive at various sites and submitting bogus and phony WMD reports about their destruction and lists of their quantities.  He tried to fool the U.N., AGAIN, plain and simple.</description>

Thanks for proving me right.  I didn&#039;t ask if it had anything to do with national security.  I asked if it could be proven wrong.  You couldn&#039;t, so I assume it&#039;s true, as per your new standard.
  You choose to believe there were WMD.  The rest of the world disagrees with you.  Sorry, the burden is on you to prove he had them, not on the majority of us to prove he didn&#039;t have them.  The fact that we didn&#039;t find them, before or after the illegal war, is enough proof for me.  You know, that old innocent until proven guilty thing that used to be so popular in certain democracies.

BTW, point #1 in my original question:
(â€œGive us a report proving with 100% certainty that W and Cheney did not plan to invade Iraq before 9/11.â€) - that point has been verified  by Bush&#039;s former Secretrtary of the Treasury and his former National Security Advisor.  
I&#039;d call that a fairly large SHRED of evidence.

The rest were just jokes to show how ridiculous your demand for 100% proof of a negative was.  Sorry to throw you off by using humor to point out how silly your are.

The fact that you don&#039;t think discussing issues of National security could be considered a debate also shows how close minded you are.  To you it is just a chance to spout off your opinions, let the facts that prove them wrong be damned.  We are in this mess because there was not enough debate about the illegal war in the beginning.</description>

		<description>It seems pretty logical that if the inspectors didnâ€™t find anything that the international community would have no choice but to â€œleave him aloneâ€.

they didn&#039;t find anything, and he wasn&#039;t left alone was he? You are suggesting a hypothetical that is in complete contradiction to fact.  Its not logical.</description>

You really don&#039;t know much about military weapon systems do you?</description>
