Personally, I don't think either President is deserving of hatred, and find the polarization troubling and dangerous. I suspect the reasons lie in both sides perceptions that Washington can not effectively run the country. Blame for this is often the "other side". Actually, my feelings toward Bill Clinton had less to do with his policies and more to do with his immorality. But Bush's immorality and his endless lies about really important matters don't concern you, eh? How is bush immoral, and what is he lying about? |

But Bush's immorality and his endless lies about really important matters don't concern you, eh? How is bush immoral, and what is he lying about? 1. Oh, puh-lease. 2. Everything. Here's a short and now out of date list of the lies of Bush and his administration about one subject...WMD: Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. Dick Cheney Speech to VFW National Convention August 26, 2002 Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons. George W. Bush Speech to UN General Assembly September 12, 2002 If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again misleading the world. Ari Fleischer Press Briefing December 2, 2002 We know for a fact that there are weapons there. Ari Fleischer Press Briefing January 9, 2003 Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent. George W. Bush State of the Union Address January 28, 2003 We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more. Colin Powell Remarks to UN Security Council February 5, 2003 We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have. George W. Bush Radio Address February 8, 2003 If Iraq had disarmed itself, gotten rid of its weapons of mass destruction over the past 12 years, or over the last several months since (UN Resolution) 1441 was enacted, we would not be facing the crisis that we now have before us . . . But the suggestion that we are doing this because we want to go to every country in the Middle East and rearrange all of its pieces is not correct. Colin Powell Interview with Radio France International February 28, 2003 So has the strategic decision been made to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction by the leadership in Baghdad? . . . I think our judgment has to be clearly not. Colin Powell Remarks to UN Security Council March 7, 2003 Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. George W. Bush Address to the Nation March 17, 2003 Well, there is no question that we have evidence and information that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical particularly . . . all this will be made clear in the course of the operation, for whatever duration it takes. Ari Fleisher Press Briefing March 21, 2003 There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. And . . . as this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them. Gen. Tommy Franks Press Conference March 22, 2003 I have no doubt we're going to find big stores of weapons of mass destruction. Defense Policy Board member Kenneth Adelman Washington Post, p. A27 March 23, 2003 One of our top objectives is to find and destroy the WMD. There are a number of sites. Pentagon Spokeswoman Victoria Clark Press Briefing March 22, 2003 We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. Donald Rumsfeld ABC Interview March 30, 2003 Obviously the administration intends to publicize all the weapons of mass destruction U.S. forces find -- and there will be plenty. Neocon scholar Robert Kagan Washington Post op-ed April 9, 2003 But make no mistake -- as I said earlier -- we have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction. That is what this war was about and it is about. And we have high confidence it will be found. Ari Fleischer Press Briefing April 10, 2003 We are learning more as we interrogate or have discussions with Iraqi scientists and people within the Iraqi structure, that perhaps he destroyed some, perhaps he dispersed some. And so we will find them. George W. Bush NBC Interview April 24, 2003 There are people who in large measure have information that we need . . .. so that we can track down the weapons of mass destruction in that country. Donald Rumsfeld Press Briefing April 25, 2003 We'll find them. It'll be a matter of time to do so. George W. Bush Remarks to Reporters May 3, 2003 I'm absolutely sure that there are weapons of mass destruction there and the evidence will be forthcoming. We're just getting it just now. Colin Powell Remarks to Reporters May 4, 2003 We never believed that we'd just tumble over weapons of mass destruction in that country. Donald Rumsfeld Fox News Interview May 4, 2003 I'm not surprised if we begin to uncover the weapons program of Saddam Hussein -- because he had a weapons program. George W. Bush Remarks to Reporters May 6, 2003 U.S. officials never expected that "we were going to open garages and find" weapons of mass destruction. Condoleeza Rice Reuters Interview May 12, 2003 I just don't know whether it was all destroyed years ago -- I mean, there's no question that there were chemical weapons years ago -- whether they were destroyed right before the war, (or) whether they're still hidden. Maj. Gen. David Petraeus, Commander 101st Airborne Press Briefing May 13, 2003 Before the war, there's no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical. I expected them to be found. I still expect them to be found. Gen. Michael Hagee, Commandant of the Marine Corps Interview with Reporters May 21, 2003 Given time, given the number of prisoners now that we're interrogating, I'm confident that we're going to find weapons of mass destruction. Gen. Richard Myers, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff NBC Today Show interview May 26, 2003 They may have had time to destroy them, and I don't know the answer. Donald Rumsfeld Remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations May 27, 2003 For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction (as justification for invading Iraq) because it was the one reason everyone could agree on. Paul Wolfowitz Vanity Fair interview May 28, 2003 It was a surprise to me then — it remains a surprise to me now — that we have not uncovered weapons, as you say, in some of the forward dispersal sites. Believe me, it's not for lack of trying. We've been to virtually every ammunition supply point between the Kuwaiti border and Baghdad, but they're simply not there. Lt. Gen. James Conway, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Press Interview May 30, 2003 Do I think we're going to find something? Yeah, I kind of do, because I think there's a lot of information out there." Maj. Gen. Keith Dayton, Defense Intelligence Agency Press Conference May 30, 2003 -- Email sent to is never read. |

The flow began from the GOP. Let's keep that in mind.
Simply untrue, Harry, but you already know that. Puh-leeze. We'd need to go back a couple of hundred years to figure out who "started it." Shame on you *and* Harry for insisting it was the other side. Like the Hatfields and McCoys, after a generation nobody even remembers who started it. No person can honestly and accurately say the other side started it. The conservatives have institutionalized it, however, with hate radio. |

"Gould 0738" wrote in message Puh-leeze. We'd need to go back a couple of hundred years to figure out who "started it." Shame on you *and* Harry for insisting it was the other side. My apologies, Chuck et al. I *do* agree with your point above. In the original draft of my reply to Harry, there was a sentence referencing to the "slime alley" as a two-way street. In editing it got cut, and I failed to notice. Mea Culpa. The conservatives have institutionalized it, however, with hate radio. But let's not intentionally *******ize the language or the process with loaded buzzwords like "hate radio". There's no hate, it is just conservative talk radio. Most true conservatives are embarrassed by some of the pompous rantings that go on, just as honorable Democrats are often embarrassed by some of the drivel that occasionally spews from the far left. Words have to mean something, or the whole process is pointless. If we use words as triggers or weapons, credibility suffers. |

"Harry Krause" wrote in message news:br0lft$27poe8 Here's a short and now out of date list Since you unequivocally pronounce all these statements as administration lies, we can presume that you have confirmed documentary evidence that there are not now and were not then any NBC weapons in Iraq.

"K Smith" wrote in message: the ones that returned lefty taxes to the tax payers so they can decide for themselves how to live their lives?? instead of faceless unelected cretins like you deciding what should be done with other peoples' money, or I'll just reply to your first idea and leave the other ones for others: "Returning" taxes when running huge deficits and increasing discretionary spending at an amazing rate is not "returning" any money. Bush likes to say "it's your money" but it's also "your" debt. Or, more probably, debt that you are passing on to your kids. ~ How about I borrow $100 in your name and give you $50 of it? Sounds good to me. Thanks for the reply Gary; Last first?? So long as I have to spend it at the same bank, which you happen to also own; that's not as bad as it first appears:-) I don't think anyone says the debt is a good thing & at the moment the war is certainly a part of it. The real trouble was your debt was rising at an alarming rate even throughout the economic boom times under Clinton, as people's wages increased so too the tax take. The trouble was the Dems were also allowing a boom in Govt funded programs/spending, while I suspect most of us think many laudable, the fact remains their growth was even greater than the economy in those once in a life boom times. Bush was confronted with a downturn in the cycle, it had been seen a long time out, so those that simplistically blame him for it, are just being opportunists. The real issue is given the circumstances Bush had to deal with, the downturn, 911 etc he has done the right thing, he's cut taxes so despite a huge loss of apparent consumer wealth with the tech wreck stock collapse etc, people have still been able to spend. It's thanks to the resilience of the US consumer the world looks more & more like averting an economic meltdown & thanks. It's most likely that if Al the voters best pal were in, then the loss of wealth, 911 jitters & continuing high taxes might have shut the US consumer spending confidence down & then we're all in it, big time. Once the left's spending programs are rained in next term then the debt can be better managed. However again don't think anyone is happy about the debt Clinton allowed to build when you should have been clearing sovereign debt, we & lots of other places actually paid debt down during the boom high tax flow times of the 90s, Clinton just flitted it away on loony left favours to supporters, unions etc. K |
