Hmm I was around when both Cater and Reagan was pres. They never lied near what these new guys do. Also they did'nt use confusing nice sounding terminology to make bad things seem unpleasant for us. Like Collateral Damage, like that's privaliged and all sorts of good PC speak to hide thier agenda and make us feel less bad about it.
"A majority of Britons would do anything, absolutely anything to get rid of Hitler--except fight him," Cooke said last month on BBC. Europeans were eager to talk but not to act. "The French especially urged, after each Hitler invasion, `negotiation, negotiation.' They negotiated so successfully as to have their whole country defeated and occupied."
Time to be proactive, unlike the French in the 1930s. Look where their policy of negotiation get them then.

The text of Bush's last state of the union address.
I do not see anywhere where he "promises" to seek another resolution.
Thus far the only "lie" I've witnessed is the premise of this thread. You anti-Bush parrots will make up anything won't you?

"The United States will ask the U.N. Security Council to convene on February the 5th to consider the facts of Iraq's ongoing defiance of the world. Secretary of State Powell will present information and intelligence about Iraqi's -- Iraq's illegal weapons programs, its attempts to hide those weapons from inspectors and its links to terrorist groups. "
France and Germany sure steered the course for us, eh?
It wasn't the SOTU it was Bush's press conference on March 6.

Looks like a promise to me.

Doesn't it bother you that a country with extensive financial interests in Iraq, that are dependant on Saddam Hussein remaining in power due to agreements made directly with him and / or his sons, would threaten to veto ANY resolution effort attempting to establish a deadline for compliance to multiple previous resolutions?
The UN has transformed itself into a debating society. I'm no fan of Clinton, but if he hadn't ramrodded NATO into policing the conflict between the Serbs and Bosnians, the UN would still be debating that fiasco. As a matter of fact, the only UN authorised intervention in the past 50 years or so was the Korean War - and then, only because the Soviet ambassador wasn't present during the vote to case his customary veto . . .

there was no point when france said they would veto it no matter what.
Chirac said on national TV that France would Veto any resolution that considered the military confrontation of Iraq. End of story. So that made getting a vote from the security counsel a moot point. After reading some of your other comments, to the effect that Reagan and Carter or Nixon didnt lie, you sir are living in a fantasy world.

The President does not take questions by reporters during the State of the Union address. I may be an ass, but at least my facts are in order.
A "promise" to whom? Changing course as a matter of strategy does not equal a broken "promise" made to no one. At that time I'm sure Bush had intended to call for another resolution, however upon the realization that it would all be for naught, decided "why bother?" I'm not going to blame him for not wanting to fight a losing battle when the outcome has already been decided.
Kennedy had to take 7 script drugs a day to get through the day................3 were narcotics, plus, he was a heavy drinker...........
FDR drank a fifth of whiskey a day while in office.........................
it's a nightmare.........................and just gets worse!😉

I think what the President proved what he wanted to prove. The UN played into his hand,s..what he was basically asking for was a statement declaring a position on the Iraq issue.
So the statement made, GW as called them out and flushed out the posers.
I finally feel vindicated. The Russians , French Chinese, and Germans will soon be clammering to gain an economic foothold in the "post saddam" Iraq. Chirac should finally be exposed for what he is.
Lets face it:
We Are right, we are morally justified, and finally we are the only ones with the testicular fortitude to stop this tyrant.
How the heck are China , Liibya even a part of the UN...with regard to Human Rights.
Im ranting, im drinking and I AM A PROUD AMERICAN
