As flex points out nicely in #3,
Using Intelligence is akin to performing science. Use the facs that fit your theory, and if the most facts fit then the theory is most likely true.
And, THAT is why the whole IRAQ thing failed. They pieced together convenient facts to fit this most heinous theory, and expected the rest of the FACTS to continue to fit into this meme. And of course the facts did not.
It all goes with the administration having no clue about science. They cannot even fathom how science is supposed to work, that is why they continue to piece together the few “facts” about global warming that persist, against the overwhelming tidal wave of other facts. They WANT, with all their little mite, to have the information go their way.
Facts will always bury you.

Pat would realize how often people laugh when he speaks if he’d stop speaking to his sheeple and confronted REAL Americans.

The Bush administration and it’s minions wriggle in the light their exposed lies. Naturally, guffaws break out as they sputter with explanations. The sobering fact is that so people died and continue to do so because of the twisted ambitions of the right wing.

Sorry OT

Mr. Speaker:

For the last two years I’ve struggled with the issue of whether the House should impeach a sitting President. Next to declaring war, impeachment is the gravest matter the House of Representatives must consider. I fully understand the gut-wrenching consequences such a national debate could precipitate. Yet, there is one fact we cannot overlook or escape: American cannot regain its moral leadership in the world if America cannot hold its leaders accountable for their actions at home.

The allegations that would warrant impeachment keep growing. They have been illuminated in recent books including The Way of the World by Ron Suskind, the book by Vincent Bugliosi, and the new book by Bob Woodward, The War Within.

Over five years ago, I tried to place asterisks in the Congressional Record next to the statements about Iraq the President made to Congress. I was attacked for saying the President would mislead us into the war, but the American people ultimately learned the truth.

There seems to be no end to the allegations and we have a responsibility to investigate their authenticity. That’s why I’m signing onto a resolution to consider impeachment of the President. Without accountability, a democracy will fail. I yield back.

Why won’t TP press the issue of impeachment?

Guilty men ALWAYS go down in a fight to preserve what tarnished image they can retain.
Noble honest men have nothing to fight to defend as their honesty defends itself.

Which is Patsy Roberts(R)…?

We all know what has transpired now all we need to do is throw the hole lot of these neocons into jail.They all believe in the “Noble Lie” so bad they wouldn`t know the the truth if it was right in front of them.The Shrub and his crime family wanted a quick and easy war and it turned into a nightmare of an occupation for them.Our soldiers have suffered long enough and their families have gone through way to much.God Bless every soldier who has suffered and the ones who won`t make back.

This is a documentary that changed the way I look at politics in this country. Originally broadcast in 2005, in 3 segments.

“In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares. The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares… At the heart of the story are two groups: the American neo-conservatives and the radical Islamists…”

The “entire world” was not repeating this lie in 2002 — “”Iraq has sent bomb-making and document-forgery experts to work with al Qaeda. Iraq has also provided al Qaeda with chemical and biological weapons training.” — George W. Bush in 2002

The truth? In Feb. 2003, British intelligence said Saddam had no ties to al-Qaeda. The BBC reported: “There are no current links between the Iraqi regime and the al-Qaeda network, according to an official British intelligence report seen by BBC News.”

Off Topic: Our broken media.

What happens when someone correctly identifies the lies which are being argued, and points out how stupid it is to argue about a lie? Our unflappable “host” proclaims that said lie will be argued about until the election.
