"Still no mass weapons, no ties to 9/11, no truth"

Boston Globe ^ | 12/17/2003 | By Derrick Z. Jackson

No major reason for the war has been proven. The deadly WMDs became weapons of mysterious disappearance. ...

In the 48-hour warning to Saddam on March 17, 2003, Bush said, "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. . . . The terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country or any other." ...[snip]Nine months later, no chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction have been found. ...[snip] By the fall, after Cheney revived a discredited claim that Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta had met with an Iraqi intelligence agent prior to the attacks, Bush was forced to admit, "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in September the 11th."

Derrick Z. Jackson is an idiot. You should hear what Rush said about him on yesterday's radio show.

?...Islam is a WMD...?

New NEA tool?

naw

[EggsAckley]

The last line of this tripe is really "special."

The capture of this dictator, driven by the poison of lies, turned America itself into a dictator.

[Map Kernow]

This guy still thinks Republican operatives got a sample of Clinton's semen and planted it on Monica's blue dress.

This "article" smells worse each time it's posted (three so far).

DZ (Dizzy?) Jackson wouldn't know a WMD if we stuck his nose into it.

"No major reason for the war has been proven."

The author needs to keep up with current events.

I hope that the Democrat presidential candidate uses Jackson's arguments next fall.

Plucking that supposed reincarnation of Sallidin from his rat-hole is very much part and parcel of the reformation of Islam which must be forced by the West, lest the war declared on us leads to our's, or what otherwise will have become their certain obliteration.

Pay no attention to this screed (and consider the source: The Boston Globe). On the same day this particular piece of idiocy was "published", the Globe ran three other anti-Bush op-eds on the same page, and - I swear I am not making this up - every single "Letter to the Editor" (about 10 of them, I believe) was written from an explicitly anti-Bush, anti-Republican viewpoint. Bias? What bias?

[cake_crumb]

Evidence of the PROGRAM has already been found, including underground labs that Blizie Boy missed whilst swishing aound, flirting with the Ba'athist intelligence officers.

Once again: The BUSH ADMINISTRATION never said Saddam was responsible for 9/11.

The only truth in the article is the "no truth" part of the headline, but only because there is no truth to the article.

It is the same in the Chicago Tribune as well.
I check the letters section a couple times a week for a laugh.
They might as well pull them at random from DU posts, the material is the same.

[Coroner]

do you have any links???

[fish hawk]

quit posting this kind of crap, who cares what the crazies have to say about anything? It's getting so there is about ten of these posted every day now.

"They might as well pull them at random from DU posts, the material is the same."

Here are a couple of today's random DU posts; I continue to be amazed at how illiterate these guys appear to be! Misspelled words, poor grammar, etc. (the following are just for your entertainment!)The garbage laid out in the first paragraph is about as disgusting a scenario as I've read so far!


"It's mentioned in Franken's Lies and Sydney Blumenthal's The Clinton Wars but I believe both books source The Age of Sacred Terror. Apparently, Clinton's security team had a massive plan to hammer Al-Qaeda's cells across the globe, shut down their money sources, and apply extreme diplomatic pressure to countries that were either soft on terror, or actually aided terrorists. Instead of handing Bush a war, they just handed Bush the plans and said "everything's ready. Go get 'em." Bush, of course, chose to apologize to the Chineese and cut taxes for the rich. Bush WILL pull OBL out of his bag of tricks."


"We can't delude ourselves into thinking otherwise. If we believe most of the rhetoric we lay out to each other on these boards, we might as well consider it a done deal that OBL will be trotted out at the most opportune moment for The Bushista Campaign. The question is, have we prepared our Plan B? Like, is that when we finally going to start calling him on the carpet about the lies? If you answered yes, you are dead wrong!"

"If we wait until after he parades a weery, graying OBL across the front pages and cable news, any attempt to point to him as a liar will be viewed as sour grapes, and desperate measures by sinking dems."

"And you know...they'd probably be right. Because we have the means and the ability to speak out now, to do something now...but the dem canidates are still not running with the proverbial ball."

"Come on campaign people...we know you guys read this stuff...pass this along. We are NOT looking for bland "centrist" candidates. That is the RNC telling us what to think. We got fooled by the centrist line by Bush, and we the Nascar Dads Bush is courting were the first to jump on the "Bush and Gore are exactly the same!" bandwagon! So, why not make "Centrist" the same kind of dirty word they've made "Liberal."

"Democrats don't want Centrists. Democrats want Democrats. And a LOT of republicans are realizing they do, to, but we are allowing the Fourth Estate to call our plays for us."

Truth be told, according to this joker, 9/11 did NOT occur.

[OldFriend]

Republican operatives????? I am sure it was the Mosad who sent Monica to the white house. They got the government shut down, ordered in pizza and then sent Monica to carry it in to the oval office.
