		<description>Didnâ€™t you say yesterday, that the US deserved 9/11?
I guess we know which side youâ€™re on.

I did, because we did. Prove me wrong.

Surely this is a case of namejacking.  I dinstinctly remember reading that Ward Churchill&#039;s viewpoint is the minority and no one here ever said the U.S. deserved to be attacked.  ;)</description>

		<description>What color are yours?

Comment by barfly â€” September 6, 2007 @ 10:20 pm

Once again, you cannot &quot;know&quot; one thing and believe another, though you can act as though you do.  All of this is a good way to avoid the original point that no libs had a problem with contradictory threads on two consecutive days.  And it doesn&#039;t really matter.  I just thought it was interesting that some libs are so eager for any opportunity to bash Bush that it doesn&#039;t even have to be a credible item.  It doesn&#039;t really hurt Bush any,but it makes the posters look foolish for failing to even recognize it.  I disagree with a lot the Bush has done as well, but I at least attempt to examine the credibility of a report before I go along with it.  But, hey, it gave you the opportunity to bash Bush one day for &quot;believing&quot; something you think is foolish and the next for &quot;knowing&quot; something that made him a liar.  Can&#039;t pass that up over something like credibility, eh?  ;)</description>

		<description>&quot;[. . .] in fact, he is indirectly responsible for bin ladens fatwah on the u.s. if he not invaded kuwait, saudi arabia never would have asked for u.s. aid.&quot;

And if Bush 1 hadn&#039;t said it was okey-dokey for him to invade, he would have sat tight.  So by you reasoning, Bush 1 is really responsible for 9/11.  

Thanks, for clearing that up.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;The inspectors never saw all the sites they were supposed to without first being put off for several days, giving the impression that if anything was there it could have been moved before they were allowed inside. But that isnâ€™t the point here.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  

We go around and around with trolls who continue to post this nonsense.

If Saddam tried to move materiel, satellite photos would show this; such &lt;i&gt;graphic evidence&lt;/i&gt;would have been presented to the UN.  

&lt;i&gt;&quot;As I said, you canâ€™t â€œknowâ€ one thing and believe another. &lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Comment by upright left 

People who embrace authoritarianism usually exhibit this curious mental quirk.  Surrendering the ability to discern internal contradiction, they close off their subjective consciousness because of fear, and on that level they think only of survival.  In that mode of thought, they look for a Big Strong Daddy, who will tell them what to think and feel.  If Big Daddy says the sky is green, they will struggle mightily at first to see it, and when they can&#039;t reconcile the fact that the sky is really blue, they&#039;ll go and buy green tinted sunglasses.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;hussein was a threat without wmdâ€™s,&lt;/em&gt;

Then why did GWB have to lie to get the country to support his war?  And not only lie about WMDs, but lie about ties to al Qaeda as well.  And repeatedly lying.  When you have a good case for war it&#039;s unnecessary to lie about the reasons and you cannot honestly tell me that if it was a Democrat President that similarly lied &amp; put the country into a clusterf*ck like this you&#039;d support it.  Not in a million years.  But maybe you&#039;ll get the chance to support a Dem Pres in the not too distant future &amp; with all of these nice new dictator-like powers that GWB has been busily creating.  Enjoy.</description>

		<description>hussein was a threat without wmd&#039;s, his persuit of those weapon, support of terrorism, bribes to the security council, murder of millions of innocent citizens, invasion of neighbors, torturing of children, etc were plenty good enough to remove him for.

in fact, he is indirectly responsible for bin ladens fatwah on the u.s.  if he not invaded kuwait, saudi arabia never would have asked for u.s. aid.  bin laden had offered his arghan army to arabia, but was rejected in favor of america.  this is the reason bin laden declared war on us, and before this moment al queda had not attack american interests.  if not for husseins&#039; chaotic actions in kuwait, the chain of events that lead to 9/11 would not have happend.

so for the lefties who say iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 are foolish.  the whole region is succeptable to a butterfly effect.  the first gulf war, 911, the current wars, are all one big connected conflict, whether you like it or not.</description>

		<description>Have you read the Duelfer Report? I mean really. The report basically admits that everything Saddam had left after the Gulf War (and that wasn&#039;t much) was destroyed later in the 90&#039;s and there were no WMD&#039;s and no active programs at the time we invaded. What the hell do YOU think it says?

Again, here&#039;s the link to the definitive analysis by the Wash. Post about the report: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp-dyn/ articles/ A12115-2004Oct6.html</description>

Maybe if &lt;i&gt;you actually&lt;/i&gt; read it yourself you would be in a better position to speak.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;There is no statute of limitations on war crimes and Bush wonâ€™t be President forever. That could be what his new spread in northern Paraquay is about. Their government recently passed a law saying people within its border were not subject to World Court rulings.

I was being sarcastic.  There&#039;s always hope that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld will see the justice they deserve.  Maybe keep gitmo open just for them... it&#039;s like a college fraternity I hear.  Or maybe that&#039;s Abu.  Either way they&#039;ll enjoy themselves.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;you canâ€™t â€œknowâ€ one thing and believe another. ;)

You can if you are completely off your rocker, and Bush has already lost whatever slim grip on sanity he had.</description>

		<description>This is baloney. Saddamâ€™s weapons declation before the war was complete, and Bush had it in his hands before going in. Congress never saw the complete, unredacted weapons declation before voting to go to war, so saying â€œno one outside of Iraq actually knewâ€ is hogwash.

The inspectors never saw all the sites they were supposed to without first being put off for several days, giving the impression that if anything was there it could have been moved before they were allowed inside.  But that isn&#039;t the point here.

According to your statement, this item from yesterday on TP was not true then?

&quot;Though it was not the sort of thing one could say publicly anymore, the president still believed that Saddam had possessed weapons of mass destruction.&quot;

I&#039;m simply suggesting that there is a problem posting and accepting that statement and then doing the same with the title of this thread:  &quot;Bush knew there were no WMD.&quot;  As I said, you can&#039;t &quot;know&quot; one thing and believe another. ;)</description>

		<description>Exley: &quot;Blumenthal was at the center of the perjury and obstruction of justice investigation of President Clinton, an investigation which led to Clinton eventually admitting he deliberately misled a federal judge and to Clinton being cited for contempt of court and having his law license suspended.&quot;

Gosh, you make it all sound so damn important. Yes the issue of whether or not Clinton&#039;s advisor technically helped him evade the truth about a  personal, consensual affair was much more important than cooperating with the president in the war on terror... to you, anyway.</description>
