Andrew Sullivan: READ THE (WMD) REPORT

Actually I watched my own TV and heard Bush speak. If he had said the words "imminent threat" I would have screamed, trust me. I don't remember hearing those words. Anyone have a transcript?

[dirtboy]

Here is the link to the official White House transcript:

President Bush, Police Commissioner Kerik Discuss Police Force in Iraq

[My2Cents]

Excellent. Too bad the major media is ignoring this.

[My2Cents]

Someone posted yesterday a reminder that it was only earlier this year that Chinese officials uncovered a stockpile of mustard gas buried in China by the Japanese in 1942!

[BushisTheMan]

Thanks for the link. The word "imminent" was not used by President Bush. The word "threat" was used many times, and used in correct context too, I believe.

Re: LA Times

Let's take this a step further. Here's a few ideas for putting these steaming turds out of business.

1. They are filling the mail with postage paid postcards for people to subscribe. They typically come in the mail in these coupon packs. Send in as many as you can with phony subscription requests (real addresses/fake names). Burn them with postage expenses and fake subscriptions.

2. Take the FREE papers and simply recycle them, then cancel when they ask you to subscribe. Give them no cash, but take as much FREE as you can.

3. Tell stores that advertise with them that you are reconsidering you patronage based on their placing ads in the LA Times.

This will drain them of cash and hopefully help put them out of business.

You know, in my more bitter moments (read: all of the time), I think that most liberals would rather die in a 9/11-scale attack than admit we were right to launch the War on Terror, or admit anything which vindicates Bush in any fashion, on any topic.

I'm sorry the rats know statistics and what you say is not true.

Liberals (rats) would rather you die in a 9/11-scale attack than admit we were right ....

Statistics are is that it won't be them.

[azGOPgal]

These are the very same people who hoped we'd have huge numbers of body bags coming back from Iraq -- for political reasons.

All I have to say is .. I pray that God can forgive me for the feelings I have right now about the Liberals
They make me sick

Mo1, I think your feelings towards the liberals are more forgiveable than their desires for mass amounts of dead American soldiers coming back from Iraq. I agree with you that they are below scum for wishing that the death toll is large in order to gain political grounds. How anyone can support a person such as this is beyond me.

[george wythe]

Who is this man?

Not only did he read the report, he even made it easier for us to understand the dry lingo and dull facts.

Great job setting the record straight.

[carton253]

I called Nancy Pelosi's office... and told her office that the President never used the word imminent threat... what's worse, Pelosi knows it, so when she says that he did, she is lying, and she should stop.

Her receptionist mumbled some rude remark and hung up on me.

Typical!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Liberals (rats) would rather you die in a 9/11-scale attack than admit we were right ....

That, of course, would be their best scenario. But I've heard and read too much from 'the other side' to believe that they would ever admit being wrong. They would rather die first, in a mundane way or in an attack on our country.

Some liberals can be reasoned with, even if it doesn't change their position much. These people seem to be shrinking in number, perhaps out of fear of being 'outed' as moderates by their side (you see this at DU all the time). So they don't speak out. This is true on our side at times, too. I won't deny that. But I've found that our side has a far larger percentage of reasonable people across the continuum of conserative thought than liberals do. When we get angry, it is usually for a reason. Liberals are just always angry. DU shows this very clearly.

Andrew here.

[PhilDragoo]

Why was our "news" filled with Wilson leaks, Rush and Arnold attacks yesterday?

DISTRACTION

In the way Kosovo distracted from the Cox Report.

[BOBTHENAILER]

DISTRACTION

Hmmmm. Interesting theory. Won't work for them in the long run though.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

You are so right. I can't even believe what the press did this past week, and you know what I expect from our enemy press.

Should have rested up. Didn't read the Kay report until tonight.

Phil, we need a bigger army.

Just war, case closed - again:

8 STATEMENT BY DAVID KAY ON THE INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT [IRAQ WMD]

[185JHP]

Thanks.

[tioga]

Great catch, ie "distracted" -- the internet nearly imploded when the Rush scandal hit, topped with more Arnie stuff.... --talk about being distracted!

There is not one iota of what you quote from the State of the Union that has yet been cast in doubt. Of course, it will be difficult for some to recognize this.

reply:
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

difficult if you don't have a brain, I guess.

[ThePythonicCow]

There is not one iota of the sixteen words that you quote from the State of the Union that has yet been cast in doubt. The British government has repeatedly stated, in public, that they have learned thus.

Read the words. They don't say the CIA agrees. They don't say the sale was consumated. They don't say which country in Africa.

Difficult if you can't read, I guess.
