Why do you find it necessary to hang out here when you could be playing with your ilk at the Kos palyground or hang out with those of your intellect at Dummy land?

[Blue State Insurgent]

Yeah, it's more important to protect the troops in the field then score a 'gotcha' with the MSM. You may want to play politics with their lives but W doesn't.

[AliVeritas]

You forgot the sign.

[Kaslin]

Actually the president was exactly seven month and 22 days in office on 9/11 not 9 month. Count them up

I'm not interested in "Kos palyground" or "Dummy land."

FR is a good source of information, such as the topic article.

I've been saying on these boards for some time now that Bush has destabilized Iraq.

And you would've preferred a nice, stable Iraq with Saddam ready to re-start his nuke program as soon as the oil-for-food sanctions were lifted.

That's just plain ol' crazy thinking!

[Triggerhippie]

There's never been a war fought with fewer casualties. Ever.

Gulf War I.

[jrooney]

Yes I did. Thank you for bringing it. :)

The drudge headline really makes me mad. The President did not say "MY DECISIONS" he said "DECISIONS". Drudge is misrepresenting and I just sent him an email about it. This is pathetic and typical of the media, including Drudge, of misrepresenting facts. Drudge loses enormous credibility in my book for hyping a false headline.

[Triggerhippie]

He should apologize for doing so much apologizing and so little leadership.

[jrooney]

Well this is not the place for troll loitering because you will get the ZOT then be gone.

[The_Eaglet]

You need to be careful, then.

[Blue State Insurgent]

The press decided to boil the reasons to go to war down to WMD. Congress gave 23 reasons.

Operation Iraqi Freedom: Bush was as clear as day.

[GodfearingTexan]

If you think Bush should apologize for our dead in Iraq then I put you in the same crazy group as Cindy Sheehan.

[TKDietz]

"Why do you call me a troll?"

Because you do not support this president no matter what he does and therefore must hate America.

[The_Eaglet]

Because you do not support this president no matter what he does and therefore must hate America.

That's a false statement.

[jrooney]

I am not the one that came on the thread saying GW should apologize for the 3000 troops that died in Iraq fighting terrorists. You were. Shows your intellect and mindset. The people responsible for most of the deaths are TERRORISTS or Insurgents, not GW and the other deaths were accidents that happen everyday in military life. I do not expect you to grasp those facts though.

I think it's very likely that Saddam had a serious nuclear weapons program operating before the invasion. How advanced and effective that program really was is open to debate, but IMO an operating nuclear weapons program is the only reason why we would do a full-scale invasion. VP Cheney said on TV that Saddam had restarted his nuclear weapons program, and Cheney knows what he's talking about. We have not talked much about this program since the invasion, probably because all the hard evidence of lab equipment and partially enriched unranium was removed by Russia before the invasion to keep it away from Syria and Iran. Any useful equipment left behind probably went to Syria before the invasion.

When you're a Republican president you can't show empty lab rooms to the media and say "this is where Saddam was working on nukes." Clinton could get away with that, but not a Republican. Bush was not surrounded by idiots. The situation is much more complex than the public could every imagine and few people spend enough time analyzing the facts to figure out what really happened.

[AliVeritas]

The whole cabinet wasn't in place yet either... was it?
