We've gotten some answers. There have been numerous investigations. The problem with people like you is that you didn't get the answer that you wanted hear to confim your preconceived notions and absolute insistence that "Bush lied." But he didn't lie, he was just wrong. Bush claimed Saddam had WMDs just like practically everyone else. That wasn't a belief that the Bush admin forced on us. It was a belief that was widely accepted and had been pushed for years by Democrats, Republicans, and the membership of the UN.
That's why I'm not pissed. It's because, unlike you, I haven't glommed on steadfastly to a claim of "Bush lied," a claim for which all evidence presented up to this point has shown it to be untrue. So don't be pissed that others doin't wear the same blinders that you do and go around making spittle-filled rants to assuage their nearly out-of-control rage.
ben franklin once said that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
No he didn't say that. I already addressed this in another thread where you posted that quote. Thomas Jefferson did not say it either. Stop spreading lies, you liar.
obviously, our amazing american fucking government SOMEHOW made a mistake... imagine that. however, instead of getting pissed about it and saying, "no, sorry... this is horseshit... no more lies. no more bullshit. tell us the truth or we're going to get your ass fired. in fact, you've fucked up WAAAAY too much... don't fuck up ever again or your ass is fired," you say, "oh well... hindsight is 20/20... i don't want to bitch about our perfect, beloved country because it's unpatriotic." guess what... the american government sucks balls and it's NOT i who should leave because i don't like it, it's you who should. people like you perpetuate this ridiculous notion that you shouldn't question authority. you HAVE to question authority... those are the principles upon which america was founded.
the past dictates the future... that's why unanswered questions about the past are crucial. in order to get them, you whine. what, do you honestly think that those in power will willingly tell you why they lied and/or why or how they fucked up?
thomas jefferson once said, "experience has shown that even under the best forms of government, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." what the hell kind of american citizen and patriot are you for being a good little boy and keeping quiet while those who've hijacked this government do whatever they want? "hindsight is 20/20?" what a fucking cop-out! yeah, hindsight's 20/20 and will amount to NOTHING if you don't care to do something about it once you've seen it.
you're a fascist... not a patriot.
TLC once said - "Quoting as an appeal to authority is the lowest form of attempted intellectualism"
And, really, dusting off your trusty old "fascist" label for deployment? I wonder if you even have a clue what a fascist is in the first place? Donesn't seem you do in the slightest.
