Already found WMD's Joe (just not to your liking). And the vast majority of illegals behave themselves.

If this is the best claims from his book, then it proves this guy is a boob. If it as reported here, O'Neill would be able to reveal a ton of facts. But, he won't because there is nothing to his story.

Being a hero to the Left won't last long and then he will be just a sad little pissant. That is the Price of Loyalty.

It's interesting to note that, when faced with facts that they can't defend, Dubya's apologists almost always fall back on the old liberal tactic of calling names. But then, I guess that's only to be expected of people who have been disillusioned by their candidate and have no defense for his actions, other than calling names of those who point out his many faults. It really makes me sad to see good conservatives sink to such levels.

Double standards are never a good thing. But if we are going to use a double standard, we should, to keep from becoming hypocrites, hold our own (conservative) elected officials more accountable, rather than giving them a pass for their faults. After all, they are the ones who should know better and have no excuse for their liberal actions.

You have to set your own pride aside. Ego is a tough thing to overcome and that's why it's so hard to admit that you were wrong in your support for a candidate. But, once you get over that hurdle, it becomes just as difficult not to do the right thing.

Look here, little fella, you are the one who claimed "Bush lied". It's up to you to back up your absurd lie or suffer the namecalling you so richly deserve.

Hey, zook, I won't flame you. I agree.

Too many faux conservatives here who are using Buchananism to disguise their sympathies with the Rats.

You think the American people were snookered; they think Saddam out of power, by whatever means or reason necessary, was a very good thing.

Could it be that's why Clinton lied about Monica? Spare the public the gory details because that's what they wanted? Sound logic to me.

I do believe you are a retread who has been banned. Your picture on your profile page looks quite familiar.

How can blind man in a room of deaf people be factual?

The fact he's there makes it factual.

You have no clue who you are talking to.

Paul, is that you? Forgive me, Mr. O'Neill, for not realizing just how important you are. I do not even rate to share this thread with you. Once again, I beg for your forgiveness.

O'Neill was thinking about raping those little boys again when he got out of the meeting. O'Neill was there. Does that make it factual?

O'Neill talks to Lesley Stahl in the interview, to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Jan. 11 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
 

This is all anyone with more than three functioning brain cells needs to know.

I'm not trying to advance an unpopular view. Rather show where there is differentiation between what we were told or through wordsmithing. There was lot's of that going on. So the people like it no matter whether there was a lot of smoke and mirrors. I thought that was supposed to go away with the end of Clinton et al.

Are we saying it's ok no matter what as long as the outcome was probably what was desired?

Are you still here trying to make the Busuh-Clinton comparison?

Give it up. Clinton's motives were anti-American. Bush loves this country.

Sour grapes.

As if it's unsettling that the White House considered Saddam a security threat in the early days--the prior administration's foreign policy acted in the same manner, they just didn't have the guts to take the action necessary to remove the threat.
