this wilting and waffling of american will to differentiate right from wrong will be the downfall. the terrorists? love the confusion in america and its easy to generate new divisive b/s for the mindsets to try to grapple with. all of it wastes american resources and gives them time and accordingly power to continue their agenda , unabated.
yup
wilting and waffling
Just damn! No WMDs and no al Quada link. That thar' Bush sure is a liar. I sure wish the ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN would tell the Amerikan public how stupid they were to have elected this big fat LIAR twice to the Office of POTUS. Now the Clintons and the Democrat administrations/ legislatures sure are honest, and they have Amerika's best interests at heart.
Only one cure for these lying Republicans - elect the grand Caliphate and Umma, Hillary!

This is way too big of a propaganda offensive just to bolster the senate democrat efforts to pass useless resolutions against the Surge. This must be flanking an effort to pull out of Iraq entirely so I'd be looking for Hillary to sudden announce that she has concluded that 'there is no choice' but to withdraw immediately 'because of the faulty intelligence and disasterous lack of leadership'. Lets see if it takes more or less than a week for this to occur.

What's amazing is how thoroughly the msm has buried James Woolsey - former CIA director, and what he has to say about intelligence on the mutual attraction and twisted skeins of complicity between America's two most implacable enemies.
Woolsey testifed at the NY trial that led a federal judge to find Iraq monetarily responsible to victims of al Qaeda's 1993 WTC bombing.
While Saddam may not have PLANNED the hit .. I'm very confident he was happy to be complicit in it .. and allowed terrorists to train on Iraq soil. And .. if Saddam was not complicit in the hit .. then why on earth would he have commissioned the above picture showing his glee at the event ..?? Maybe Osama personally didn't contact Saddam about this hit .. but Saddam was still involved in it - of that I'm very sure.

The facilities include rebuilding Iraq Radioactive Waste Treatment Station (RWTS) that was destroyed by bombing during operation Desert Storm in 1991. Another project was to rebuild the RadioChemistry laboratories.

And yet this is nothing like the revisionist history we get on any MSM newscast or website. I post often in leftist infested sites such as "Newshounds" and I'll say it's long been my experience that while one side of their mouth screams "we were LIED to!" the other side is lying to make their case. They don't want to know the truth, and worse, MSM including (but not as bad) Fox news doesn't want us to know it.
It's not in their best interest economically to print "and they lived happily ever after" (or we won the war, we were right about Saddam, NEXT!) and what sells like a White House scandal? Never mind it was a setup by one Joe Wilson, the first and only person to offer (false) evidence bridging the wide chasm between bad intel and knowledgeable deceit. (if Cheney was building a false case for war by "stovepiping" intel, why did request the CIA, or "normal channels", get to the bottom of it? They forget that detail)
It makes me want to puke knowing this nation has so many people that would willingly participate in efforts to lose wars and bring America to its knees in shame before the world on their own false pretense. Now they've repeated their lies so often the world sees it as fact.
I would like to blame it all on political partisanship, but they seem to enjoy failure and all its associated self flaggelation. As displayed by their "anybody but Bush" platform in 2004, liberal political strategists seem to have learned their tactics not from college or human experience, but from observing the primate exhibits at their local zoo.
By portraying the war as a loss, telling the Iraqis that the soldiers who act as enforcers of White House policy are there based solely on lies, fulfilling their prediction, one can only imagine they think this is good campaign strategy:
Like monkeys in a cage, they smear poop on themselves, on the rest of us, all over everything-denigrating all of us shamefully- just to show they are better at licking it off.
