"We have interrogated a lot of people and we haven't found a single person who said he participated in disposing, destroying the stock of weapons of mass destruction. Or in hiding them." From what I have heard, those people also have failed multiple lie detector tests.

Big difference Carl. Or Carl's editor.

From what I have heard, those people also have failed multiple lie detector tests. Interesting. I wonder if the administration would submit to polygraph exams to answer whether their statements and the research gathered to support it was intentionally distorted.

Considering there have been people in France, Germany, Britain, the UN, the US, and other countries who have all said Iraq possesed WMDs in the past few years, that would be a long line at the lie detector.

Listen, if they had intentionally distorted, as you seem to be intimating, why didn't they just go all the way and plant the WMD's to begin with?

"failed multiple lie detector tests"
That's what I heard too. The 'RATS will do any thing to make President Bush look bad. They don't care what kind of damage they cause. They don't give a darn about what is best for our country.
They want President Bush to be perceived as a liar so they can say that x42 wasn't that bad. They are trying to blur the HUGE and I mean HUGE contrast between the character, inherent decencey, and moral up-rightness, of President Bush, and the total lack of character, and morals, of x42.
The Republicans need to counter-act this though, Because the 'RATS live by "repeat a lie often enough and people will beleive its true".
If they want to find the WMD's maybe they should check the UN building in Belgium, or, how about France? They were handing out passports to Saddam's people, What else did they do? While the UN was stumbling ,stalling a faltering, Saddam had PLENTY of time to move and get rid of the stuff. It serves the UN's purposes to make President Bush look bad too. Read the tag line

"We have interrogated a lot of people and we haven't found a single person who said he participated in disposing, destroying the stock of weapons of mass destruction. Or in hiding them." I think another interpretation is that it's possible that all those that helped were killed so they couldn't give the info...

I'm glad you caught that too. In the headline, he says "Bush made misstatements...". That's not what Kristol said. He said "...may have made misstatements...". I hate it when people misquote and then go on to build a story about it. I heard Kristol yesterday and he is concerned about the issue but he was not as dogmatic about the idea as the article would lead you to believe.

This is his usual pattern. This is a duplicate of an article posted yesterday.
What I said then was that Kristol was pushing war with Iraq because he didn't think that Bush would do it, especially after he went to the UN. Bill still misreads the President.
Once we went in, he had no choice but to applaud, given the position he staked out. Now he sees his opportiunity to cause trouble and his usual pattern of behavior is resurfacing. He despises Bush, always has, always will. I don't think it is because he supported McCain. I think he supported McCain because he despises Bush.
To: joesbucks
The only misstatement is Limbacher's. I saw the show yesterday; Kristol said it's
possible the administration was wrong but that it doesn't change the overall calculation of whether war was appropriate.
Sadly, Newsmax blew an opportunity to make an impact, and can no longer be taken seriously.
To: mombonn; Miss Marple
Bill's quotes were used by these
presstitutes very selectively to
create the greatest havoc for the
Bush Administration.
That said, he knifed the good guys
in the back just to cover himself
for having been hawkish. Stupidly,
too, IMO. What does he say later,
as more truth comes out???
What a sorry excuse for a real man,
or even a journalist/commentator,
Kristol has(again) shown himself
to be!
To: Miss Marple
Good reply, Marple.
When all is said and done, I would not be surprised if a young George W. and an even younger Bill Kristol had a bad run-in at the White House back in Bush I's administration. GW was dad's enforcer. Wouldn't be surprised if he confronted Bill about something embarrassing.
Bill is doing a bit of ass covering so he can maintain some sort of "independence" from Bush's administration. So, he jumps on the press bandwagon about the WMD. This should surprise no one.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

I have a LOOONG theory of Kristol's trouble-making. I won't post it here, but whenever a Republican is suddenly taking a turn towards self-destruction, Mr. Kristol is usually lurking about, pulling strings.
To: Miss Marple
If I were to paraphrase Kristol's sentiments I would say he meant:
The administration may have made good faith errors - after all it's difficult to make predictions with 100% accuracy. But conservatives shouldn't get defensive about it, because it doesn't change the overall decision about the war.
I have no idea why Newsmax distorts as much as they do. I have a hard time taking anything they say seriously.
To: joesbucks
Krystol has access to the interogations? Krystol is a know it all with yellow teeth.
