This is true, but the Bush Admin, especially the State Dept., also bears some blame for giving in to such an obvious tactic. I'm just some guy sitting at a computer, and I knew exactly what was happening.

[Mister Baredog]

Okay, so Big Media will never cut President Bush a break.

I am afraid it's worse than that. There seems to be a massive movement in the so called major media to get rid of Bush no matter how it hurts the U.S.

The LA Slimes for example ran 2 days in a row their top story, poll results that make the Prez look weak. Today their top story is about a group of ex ambassador types coming out against Bush.

This is of course their editorial opinion leading the headlines, almost daily now.

All this from an editor who claims innocently that they aren't biased in any way, he says it's FOX News that's the problem in America.

If I were a jihadist I would head for Mr. Carroll's office to express how I really felt.LOL!

[An.American.Expatriate]

But how will they treat the useless idiots who allows WMD’s to get into the hands of anti-American terrorist with whom we are literally at war?

Silly Question. They will ignore this angle of the story entirely!

[Brilliant]

I think this is emphatically true. The Iranians say that the nuke enrichment equipment they have was contaminated with weapons grade uranium before it got to them. I do not doubt that. It probably came from Iraq. Of course, that does not negate the fact that it has also been used by the Iranians to enrich uranium.

[abclily]

The Kerry campaign is subverting the victory in Iraq.

[RedEyeJack]

The dates here do not make sense. Is ther an error?

Specifically, " photographs of a ballistic missile site outside Baghdad in May 2003, and then saw a satellite image of the same location in February 2004, in which facilities had disappeared", indicates that a month after Baghdad was taken the Iraqis were spiriting away WMD and missile components... How did we let that happen?

[AgThorn]

This piece is so 'right on', it has me wanting to reflect a bit. Every time I hear the 'left' buzz about the WMD issues, it gets to me. I remember some slight reporting, early after the successes in Baghdad about some Sarin gas traces being discovered in the Euphrates (or Tigris, not sure) river, allegedly showing that there was a quick 'dumping' of evidence. (anyone else share with me this early recollection? Would love to have some early link to this).

Later, all that was found throughout the country were WMD 'infrastructure' evidence (which is good enough for me), a good cache of blister bombs that were buried for 10 years and forgotten by Saddam (and quickly by the press) and later the most recent Sarin gas find.

The same 'lemmings' that want "anyone but Bush" (which is made up of a lot of Media sources sadly) will continue to press the 'Bush got it wrong on WMD' line and ignore the facts.

These 'lemmings' like to believe that we should have found some hidden building by now, clearly marked "WMD hidden here" and when the big large locked doors were open there would have been a room for nuclear, a room for chemical, etc. Without this obvious needed fine, then Bush simply must have war-mongered this country onto Iraq simply to avenge his father ... [barf]

Amazing the sheer idiocy of these lemmings out there, let alone the sheer number of them as well.

[gargoyle]

...They're not sleeping. They're desperate and will go to new lows with illogic ignorance...

[Jackknife]

There needs to be a new Syrian front in the War on Terror .......

[Graymatter]

I'd totally agree, but Colin Powell was just on MTP, not challenging any of Russert's premises. No WMD. Was there no way Powell could reasonably dispute that? Voice a little doubt?

Russert also said the Iraqis weren't regarding us as welcome liberators. Powell didn't even argue that.

When did Republicans assume the obligation to present hard evidence for every opinion voiced? If we cannot even claim that the months prior to the War in Iraq afforded Saddam plenty of time to remove, conceal or destroy WMD---we cannot hope to win this election. The Dems will make credibility an issue, and that's always a killer.

Powell offered no defense, IMO. And Powell is one of the few who can still hold a non-liberal opinion without being torn to ribbons by the media.

[McGavin999]

Of course they did. We all figured that the stall tactics were to give Saddam time to hide the evidence. That's what the french and Russian stalling was for. I'm still convinced that Libya's nuclear program was what was sent to him from Iraq.

[hosepipe]

Time for immediate public plans for Americas response to the next terrorist attack.

1 attack) Invade Syria(Lebanon), bug every Mosque in America.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

How do these “peace at any price” liberals sleep at night?

My guess is they are nocturnal they sleep during the day so they can sneek up on the sheep at night !

[Xenalyte]

But but but but the TV guy keeps telling me there are no weapons of mass destruction! How can this be? You're lying to us, trying to get us to believe that evil conservative line so we can go in and steal all the country's oil and put panties on their heads. Vile rightie!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Something i find a bit strange is the U.N. denying WMD until the "oil for food" scandle submerges then all of a sudden OMG there were WMD'S and they were there the whole time now all of a sudden "oil for food" is........

virgin olive oil on a salad !

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

And now, according to the United Nations (yes, the United Nations) Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction are out there, on the black market, or perhaps already in the hands of anti-American terrorist.

I hadn't heard that. When did the UN admit this? Does anyone have a link?

[RightWhale]

That was a break for Saddam, but he apparently didn't believe there would be an actual invasion so he waited to the last minute.

[CyberAnt]

And .. I believe CHIRAC KNEW SADDAM NEEDED TIME TO MOVE THE STUFF, AND I BELIEVE CHIRAC ASSISTED THAT EFFORT BY TRYING TO STALL THE WAR. Chirac's relationship with Saddam was very close and I believe Chirac would have been willing to do whatever he could to protect his "friend".

Don't forget Germany and Russia could also have played an active part in the delay because they were heavily involved with contracts in Iraq.

And .. I believe President Bush knows something about Chirac's personal involvement in the delay, and that's why he will not curry any favor with Chirac.

Of course .. I'm guessing .. but I don't think I'm that far off.

[Let's Roll]

How do they sleep at night? Because most of them are boomer/lefties and mommie and daddie (someone else) have always picked up the pieces. They've never been accountable in their lives - why start now?

But this time we can't let this happen - it means our lives too now and we cannot afford to let them play with events any longer.
