THAT URANIUM STORY

An excellent overview of the facts and just how rediculous the critics are on this matter.

This whole deal is purely political

[Support Free Republic]

See that good looking dude on the left? He's got FAR BETTER THINGS to do than conduct Freepathons! Come on, let's get this thing over with.

I think the story is losing a little bit of traction, now that President Bush is back in the country. I think the next thing the media is going to jump on is the fact that the US soldiers are going to be in Iraq for some years to come. I don't remember President Bush or Donald Rumsfeld giving a timetable of pulling the soldiers out, and how about those soldiers STILL in Bosnia, etc? They were supposed to be there a year, max, and they're still there.

I believe it would be covered under, "Whatever it takes".

[Utah Girl]

Exactly.

[okie01]

The administration has made it very clear that we will be in Iraq for a lengthy period -- "as long as it takes" and, at least, "years".

Of course, they made this every bit as clear as "British intelligence tells us that Iraq sought uranium in Africa". Which, evidently, was and remains a true statement.

But the libs and the media can always be counted upon to misconstrue, confuse, twist and distort the issue, regardless of its initial clarity and accuracy.

They are really showing their true colors, are they not?

[King Prout]

I can't help but wonder... Was Bush's visit to Africa the humanitarian (& PR) tour it seemed, or were he and his team there to meet someone and collect something related to the yellowcake issue?
Dubya's a wily fellow, has proved this many times over, and the dims and mediots never seem to really catch on to this fact.
Gotta wonder: strategery?

[meenie]

Mistakes were made. I can remember the last President that used that line to justify doing nothing. Bush is the executor in charge of the CIA, FBI, DIA, etc. and letting them put him in a hole such as he claims they did, and not doing anything but actually supporting them is____*.

*insane.

[King Prout]

That's certainly the way it looks, and if it IS the reality then I agree with you, but I wonder...
Bush has snookered the dims and the mediots time after time.
So, I wonder...
(runawayyyy, a-run-run-run-run-runawayyyy!)
Sorry, getting punchy as the shift wears on.

[ownaccord]

Planning,Reconaissance,Control & Security... Please continue your stupid drivel. It pleases me to see your ineptitude. FIDO.

[nopardons]

Start reading more threads and reacting, emotional, less. Just a helpful hint. ;^)

[Jim Robinson]

I can't see any difference between your posts and the screaming Democrats I've been watching on the TV shouting matches. Have you officially joined the Democrat Party? Are you on the Democrat talking point mailing list?

[OWK]

Go git 'em Deputy Fife.

He don't always say good stuff about the republicans.

So he must be one o'them dem-o-rats er sumpthin.

[Jim Robinson]

Guess so. I don't see a dimes worth of difference between what that guy is saying and what Dean is saying. Must've fallen for the Democrat propaganda hook, line and sinker.

[OWK]

C'mon Jim.

You trot out this "he must be a dem-o-rat" line with every criticism of the GOP anymore.

There are things the GOP does right.

And there are things they do wrong.

We all know the democrats suck. That's what brought most people together here. But sometimes the GOP is just plain wrong.

You used to be a man who was willing to stand up and tell them in no uncertain terms when they were wrong.

Now you not only remain painfully silent of their faults, but you ridicule others for mentioning them.

What did you do with the real Jim?

[Jim Robinson]

No, some of you guys are parroting the Democrat lies. I'm standing against the Democrats. If you don't want to defend America when we're at war and you want to use the enemy's propaganda against us, well, don't be surprised when you're labled an enemy sympathizer.

[OWK]

No, some of you guys are parroting the Democrat lies.

You can keep trotting out this tired old line if you want, but you know it ain't so.

Democrats are socialist thieving parasites.

My problem with the GOP, is that they're doing their level best to be just like 'em.

You can make excuses for 'em if you want to... rationalizations about "political necessity" and "real world problems" and "give a little to get a little"... but the fact is, Bush spends like a drunken sailor.

And he spends on social programs, and the kind of federal expansionist nonsense that you used to loathe in the democrats.

Apparently it wasn't the policies you loathed.

Just the people enacting them.

[Jim Robinson]

I'm not making ewxcuses for anyone. President Bush is doing a hell of a job wiping out the terrorists and I back him 100% in that effort. I also back him 100% in his effort to turnover the liberal activist judiciary. I'll live with the rest of the baggage just to get those two things accomplished. I see it as the price we pay to end terrorism and to end the abortionist/homosexualist/gungrabbing liberal activist judiciary. After the trillions already stolen from us by the liberal Democrats over the last century, it's not such a large price to pay to end their run. Sorry if the rest of you can't see the forest for the trees.
