OK, what was the important thing then? What was that "1441" thing?

After the fact, you Bushies keep saying "it wasn't the WMD! it wasn't
the WMD! it wasn't the WMD!" But before the war, all we heard was: "
it's about the WMD! it's about the WMD! it's about the WMD!"

make up your minds.

You acknowledge "before the war, all we heard was: "
it's about the WMD! it's about the WMD! it's about the WMD!"

Is it possible that you were listening to certain medias that were just
quoting each other over and over, and not really researching beyond the
news wire feed, and ending up with the same story. Not the whole story,
just the part they wanted you to hear, and which was the part you now
acknowledge you heard.

It reminds me of how they now report fatalities in Iraq. When a soldier
is killed, and the media picks up the story, report it on 30 different
TV and radio stations around the world for the next three days, and it
sounds like 100 casualties, and the war is going terrible wrong.
Granted, each death is sad, but for the media to twist the stories the
way they do is unconscienceable.

So I understand what you heard, and I regret that you did not hear the
full story, but I heard alot more than just WMDs and Oil. I heard about
a despotic tyrant and his sons, about oppressed people who desired to
be set free, and yes WMDs. WMDs that we wanted to be very aware of
during an invasion where they could possibly be deployed. All Saddam
had to do was open his country to unhindered UN inspection, and he
would have saved himself from a military invasion. He knew his time was
short, he gambled and lost.

I did have a good social ski time, and feel very refreshed. However
there was no socialist gov. assistance for buying lift tickets. Had to
buy them myself. TnT
