Bush lied, people died?

[TexKan]

funny analogy............. Yeah Bush is just too damn powerful....... ya think he would think these things out...... LOL

Too many folks seen "Wag the dog"........... they are startin to believe that the US checks and balances are a thing of myth....... the US works and has for 200 years. Bush aint a "bad boy" and he aint the worse pres we have ever had. Frankly don't know who was the worse pres. They all have a place in history. Everyone hates the Pres when he's in office...... seems to be the American Way............. sad huh???............

I am not even going to say he is anywhere near the best we ever had, but I do believe he is smarter than most people give him credit for. Lying about something you personally did (the intern thing, dui's, drugs, and so on) is one thing. Lying about information you have, then using that same information to invade another country, is entirely different. Even if he is a bumbling, lying, stealing, theiving idiot he would have no reason to lie about that, and then not even attempt to cover it somehow. That is why I do not believe he lied. That is also why I think if the far-left doesn't quit beating that same drum, it is going to kick them square in the ass. Calling him a liar is not going to gain any votes or brownie points, proving he is incompetent will.
The Dems need to shut the far-leftheads up and quit allowing them to call the shots for their party. To many people who are "undecided" see the whole party as far-left.

What makes it really absurd is that every high profile Democrat had been telling us for years before Bush took office that Saddam had WMD’s and the head of the CIA that gave Bush the intel was a Klinton appointee. Why don’t we just say that Bush was set up by the Democrats to look bad and this whole war was the Democrats fault? It makes about as much sense.

We keep hearing that Bush’s poll numbers are low. Well the poll numbers for Congress, including Democrats, are even lower. This says to me that folks are tired of all the partisan bickering and want to see something done to earn those big taxpayer funded salaries for a change.

[Flying Dutchman]

All the politicians numbers are low, for exactly, I feel, as you said. Bush's numbers would be higher if he would just do like other president's did and start defending his actions instead of this "wait and see" crap. He needs to call people on the carpet and start saying "I made this decision because......". I do not feel he is a liar but he sets himself up because he does not explain himself. With most of congress up for re-election they do not help.


I wonder how much flack they will be giving Condi when she wins?

[Highwayman]

The last time I watched a Bush press conference some of the reporters were so hostile and out of line with their questions I wanted to “B” slap them. I had to admire the President’s composure for not clearing the room and kicking that crowd out to the curb. The press can’t seem to understand why Bush doesn’t like to spend (waste) his time with them.

Condi will be mistreated by the MSM just like any other conservative. She does appear at the moment to be the best choice of all the possible candidates out there.

President Bush should take some lessons on effective graphics. Every platform he stands on should display a background to remind the reporters of what prompted the responses.



Why do we seem to deny ourselves a reminder...

Because the so called “progressives” that refuse to learn from the past would put on their utopian blinders and raise Hell that we’re wallowing in the past instead of looking to the future.

Mar 9, 2006

Gen. Georges Sada, the No. 2 ranking officer with the Iraqi Air Force, is finally being heard in Washington, D.C. Senate Armed Services Committee member James Inhofe, R-Okla., recently said, " . . . This old argument of weapons of mass destruction, which has always been a phony argument from the beginning, now that we have information that's been testified . . . in closed session, by this General Sadas [sic] -- all kinds of evidence as to the individuals who transported the weapons out of Iraq into Syria."

Ali Ibrahim, another Iraqi commander, corroborates Sada's assertion that Saddam possessed stockpiles of WMD, but transported them out of Iraq by air and by land. Furthermore, former FBI agent John Tierney says the United States uncovered hours of tapes -- since authenticated -- of Saddam Hussein and his henchmen discussing WMD, and how they hid their work from U.N. inspectors.

So, we continue our interview with Gen. Sada:

Elder: You said the president did the right thing in invading Iraq --

Sada: Excuse me, you say invading, I always say liberating.

Elder: OK, liberating Iraq. Are we winning this war of liberation?

Sada: The war is won. Now we are trying to win the peace. . . . The new elections were a great thing . . . and the wonderful, wonderful thing is that the first time we had 88 women elected in the Parliament of Iraq. I'm not sure of the number now, but you just imagine 88 women of 275 seats in the Parliament are women -- in an Islamic Arab country in the Middle East. This is the fruit of the liberation.

Elder: The WMD transported to Syria, are we talking about hundreds of tons of chemical and biological weapons?

Sada: Well, of course, because a Jumbo aircraft easily can take more than 50 tons. And especially that Jumbo was doing two sorties a day; maybe 727 was doing only one, but Jumbo for sure was doing two sorties a day, so it will be hundreds of tons were transported to Syria.

Elder: Transporting all these chemical and biological weapons to Syria in 56 sorties, using those planes, obviously a lot of people had to be involved in it. How can someone like David Kaye, our WMD hunter, and his successor, Charles Duelfer, how could they spend all that time in Iraq and not uncover what you told us?

Sada: . . . I can assure you that there are -- even in Intelligence sometimes -- that people are not taking it that serious, and dealing with it in that serious way. But now I can find that the senators like Inhofe and [Jeff] Sessions [R-Ala.], and Rep. Pete Hoekstra [R-Mich.], they are very serious, and this is the first time I can feel that your Intelligence are very serious . . . and I can assure you that this moment . . . there are people who are doing a lot in the Middle East to see the people who have transported the WMD to Syria.

Elder: What should we do about Iran?

Sada: I was in a discussion in Dubai . . . there were two professors from Iran there, and I was representing Iraq to discuss the security of the Gulf. And I told them like this: If you are going to possess the nuclear weapon, that's a disaster. If you will use it, it's a bigger disaster. And if you will not use it, it's also a disaster, because you are going to make a big, big, big hole in your economy. I hope that the Iranians at last will listen. We don't want that region to have more conflicts and to have more WMD, but the other way around, to get rid of these weapons, and make the region and the Middle East to live peaceful. . . .

Elder: So what should be done, General? They are embarking on acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Sada: Well, I think the world and the United States have got enough knowledge and enough courage, and enough things to know what to do, but I still believe that it will be much, much better to solve it in a peace way, because I am the director of a peace organization. But you know, always we cannot achieve the peace. . . .

Elder: Do you want to see a secure Israel living in peace with her neighbors?

Sada: Of course. . . . I want to see everybody in the region to be in peace. . . . And I hope that peace is coming very soon. And before I finish, I want to bow in front of the parents of those who have lost their beloved one, and I want to tell them that I know it is difficult and tough, but it is worth it, and they should be proud of their daughters and sons killed in the war because they have liberated a country, liberated 27 million people, and that country is the country of father Abraham, and Daniel of Babylon, and Jonah of Nineveh.
