Second Hans blix DID say he beleived iraq still had WMD, you missed it because it was while the war was going on.

Third the media is never bush friendly so its nothing new, i dont base it on the fact they bash bush. I dont like him as a president too much because he plays politics, but i do know he is better than gore.

I am also aware that the conservatives are moving to "war of liberation" but im not. I beleive there were WMD that just need to be found it hasnt been that long and there are still saddam loyalists in the country who could be hiding them. I however am an independant thinker and am not tied down to any affiliation.

That aside i think saddam was a threat if he was able to start a nuclear arms program i mean look at north korea. in addition he did fund terrorist ogrinizations. The US recently arrested a "religious leader" with hundreds of thousand of dollars in cash, papers talking about terrorist activites and a shrine devoted to saddam.
In the case we don't find WMD, which i deem unlikely at best, i will personally feel safer. all 9/11 took was funding.

EDIT: however i think its inconclusive to say weather or not the presient quoted flimsy intellegence, or if he knowlingy used false intellegence. that said col hunt says what needs to be done

In other words Bush lied.

It may not have been accurate, but it was precise.

When do impeachment hearings begin?

A quote comes to mind,

"If voting changed anything, they'd make it ILLEGAL."

I have doubts that Bush is going to spend another term in office (who knows, perhaps I'm wrong), but if Mr. Bill can get away with what went down during his term, impeachment's not gonna happen, I've a feeling.

Let's hope we're presented with something APPROACHING a choice in the next election (as if we're allowed to have one anymore)...:disgust:

The VP who reads the speach before it's given knew that info was bogus 8 months before. Bush knows tha Cheney knew. You see Bush asking him to resign? You have to be a real chump not to see that Bush knew. We know from other remarks that WMD weren't even the real issue, only the one everybody agreed would fire up the people. What's the harm in a little creative lying for the good of the country, you see. A little illegal preemptive war, a few dead GIs and lots and lots of oil. It's just good business for pragmatic business men. Their kids aren't the ones who serve. And Americans are itching to kill. It's a win win situation, don't you see?
