You, too, given the choice to believe and ally yourself with deception or truth have chosen deception and relish spreading it.

I have chosen truth over government propaganda and misinformation. I have heard nothing from the administration that indicates they were truthful about the real motivation for war. Just like I hated the last administration because of its dishonesty, I have yet to see any evidence that the current administration isn't following the same flawed path.

I really hope you are able to accept the truth when it becomes undeniable. You call clinton a dirtbag (he certainly is) yet you align yourself with the dirtbags. Expect clinton's foul name to turn up in these documents that the Saddam regime couldn't keep enough of.

I reject all dirtbags from both the left and right. If you are going to war and getting American sons and daugthers killed, you had better have the necessary proof in hand. That didn't happen here. The war had to be sold like a broken down used car. The freaking war is over and they still can't prove anything. That tells me all I need to know about the administration's reckless use of its powers and (lack of) respect for its own citizens. As far as who's names turn up, I'd be careful what you ask for on that one. Until he invaded Kuwait, Saddam (including his use of chemical weopons on Iranians) was OUR dictator. We didn't really care how abusive and inhumane he was of what abuses he visited upon his own people. It is important not to forget that along with our own visits and meetings with Saddam when he was still our guy.

As to Blix. It is becoming clear that the French tipped off the Saddam regime where the inspectors were heading next which stymied the inspection process. Blix and the inspectors were not called idiots or told it was under their nose by the administration. They were told the Iraqi regime was not cooperating. And they weren't. I wonder if you can comprehend the difference.

I thought it was the Russians who were tipping off Saddam. Next week, it will be space aliens. One lead ballon after another -- anything to avoid accountability. I have to admit, the stories are getting funnier though. Almost like dumb and dumber meet the British press. This lastest one has me rolling on the floor. A UK reporter who just happens to be let loose to rummage around in an Iraqi intelligence building finds a file on the floor with OBL's name whited out on it implicating the French in providing Saddam with info on secret American plans. Was that the story? I was laughing too hard to hear all the details. Oh brother, they must be getting desperate with that one. Maybe Saddam just couldn't turn on CNN to find out what our plans were. Dah LOL!

Clearly you don't recognize truth, even when it smacks you upside the head. Anyway, in case you missed the latest on the french (not referring to the inspections, in this particular instance, but their propensity for collaboration with the former regime):

That we once had friendly relations with Saddam--so what?

We once lived under British rule, also. And we don't now.
Stuff happens.
