• President Bush, Jan. 28, 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.

tap tap tap on the calculator....a 40 foot trailer carries around 48,000
lbs....so this would be 20 tractor-trailers, unless they used 53 ft
trailers, but those are usually just for lightweight stuff like paper
products.

All our surveillance technology couldn't spot tractor trailers headed toward
Syria? I've read that our best satellites can resolve enough detail to
identify a pack of cigarettes in someone's hand.

Hmmm....maybe nobody was told to look for trucks leaving the country. I
wonder why that would be?

Or.....maybe people *did* notice trucks, and were told to stop noticing.

And no one is outraged.

Just what would make them outraged? A blow job?

Sad commentary on the values of our country.

Blow jobs are so much more destructive to the moral fiber of our
country.

Killing people needlessly or watching them die while we stand idly by is
the status quo.

Blow jobs push the envelope, killing doesn't.

Ignorant population. Very scary.

If Bush had been forced to testify alone, it would have shown everyone
what an absolute idiot he is,

The country has been given ample opportunity to witness Bush being an
idiot.

Most of us don't care.

Clinton obviously scared the crap out of Saddam! Knowing that Clinton
would come down hard, because he'd done so frequently, Saddam canceled
all his WMD programs, destroyed everything associated therewith, and
became a good boy.

Clearly, that's exactly what happened. It was the sanctions that
worked.

So what stupid Konservative deduction is rolling around in that mostly
empty head of yours?

Evidently, Bush has no capacity to understand that sometimes things
change even though you suspect otherwise. Clinton would have been smart
enough to use contemporaneous information before he decided to invade.

And NONE of the people who you cite would have put our citizens at risk
without solid evidence.

How many have we lost?

How much has it cost?

Is there nothing better we could have done with those lives and money?

Some folks don't like waiting for the cloud, jps.

As I wrote something you find agreeable, I'm wondering why the
name-calling? Did I call you anything disagreeable? Do you find the
Harry Krause technique to be an effective tool?

As I've mentioned in the past, your leader rattled his saber for way too
long. If anything was there, he clearly wanted to give Saddam enough time
to
get rid of them. According to real people who know what they're talking
about, we already have weapons which would vaporize WMDs. Combine that
fact
with the nonsense about how "we know exactly where they are", and one must
wonder why none of them were bombed way before we started throwing away
young lives.


I agree with that entire paragraph wholeheartedly, except for the
'your leader' and the 'wanted to give' parts. He's *our* president. He
*gave* Saddam too much time.

John, if John McCain had run, and won, but I voted for Kerry, I'd still
respect him and consider him MY leader. But not Bush. He was propped up
(nominated) by a circle of insiders who wanted a cardboard replica of a
competent human, one who would not his head and agree to whatever was
suggested to him by his sitters. I will not call him MY leader. You seem OK
with him, so he's YOUR leader.

And, he most certainly did intend to give Saddam plenty of time. If that's
not true, then he must be as stupid as I've been telling you for such a long
time.
