"THE" Reason We Went Into Iraq

[pieces of time]

Thanks for the work on the transcript. Heard some of this a few weeks ago on WMAL in DC. Nice to get more details.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I am interested in following it!

"This adds a whole new dimension to that "railroad accident" in North Korea."

That's what I was thinking. And haven't the Japs said that there were Syrians on the train? How they came to know that I have no clue.

Maybe Bush didn't just throw Korea into the Axis of Evil to be multi-culti about it.

You have "trimmed" a transcription of a broadcast that is NOT available at the link you provided.

[Matchett-PI]

This is *MY* transcript from my personal videotape. There is no transcript of that program on the Fox web site that I know of, so this is not an "excerpt". Are you able to
restore my *personal* transcript since I taped it from my own TV and not from their web site?

AKA "O.J."part 2!

You've had bit too much beer.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I missed that one!

[Matchett-PI]

BTTT for an answer to my question in #25.

[McGavin999]

Hmmmmm. Uranium.....Africa.....Libya.....Africa......

[True Capitalist]

I hope this is true. But I also heard John Loftus on WABC radio Friday night with the breaking story that Sadam's former vice president was discovered by the White House to be hiding in the palace of a high profile prince in Saudi Arabia (I think he said it was King Saud's son?), but I looked around Saturday morning and couldn't find anything on it.

I'm just not certain about John Loftus' credibility.

Can anybody speak to whether he is a reliable source?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

We may not hear everything Monday night.

President Bush is still playing Poker and may not have filled his hand yet.

[Dog Gone]

I wasn't aware that Fox News needed trimming in any event.

[HighWheeler]

Here's another reason we went into Iraq, I'll post it large so the libs who lurk here can read it while tracing the words with their fingers:

Clinton appointed U.S. District Court judge Harold Baer has made a legal finding that Iraq was behind the 9-11 attacks. His ruling was upheld by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Someone said on a thread, I think, that Al Douri was thought to be hiding in Saudi Arabia!

[Matchett-PI]

"Sorry, but I don't see a link to the full transcript on the Fox News site.

There isn't one there. This was something I transcribed from my own personal videotape of that 5-minute segment of the program. I've asked the Admin.Moderator to PLEASE restore my full transcript.

[SE Mom]

Waaahhhh...I'm moving next week and was packing all day- missed Eric's interview and in reading this thread and trying to get some info at FOX - I'm lost. Will someone be kind enough to UNtrim, DEtrim or REtrim the original script? I've read some of Loftus before- he's a mixed bag from what I can see he tried to tie GWB and UBL with Saudis...oil...etc. But it does seem pretty remarkable he'd go on record making a statement like this without being certain of his sourcing...
Back to packing...UGH..

[Lunatic Fringe]

If this is correct, why isn't the administration touting it?

I believe the strategy of the Administration dealing with the Democrats has something to do with "rope" and "hang". Just wait until Kerry is the "official" nominee.

[pookie18]

I'd asked him in #20, but have yet to hear anything either.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Have we got some source for that?

[magua]

Yes, John Loftus reported this on the John Batchelor Show on thursday night.
