We did not go to war for false reasons. If there was a policy to go into Iraq before 911 so freaking what? We should have had such a plan. That man was flaunting in our faces for years that he wasn't abiding by the cease fire. A sensible administration would have had the plans in place. It would have been irresponsible not to. That is what brought us 911, an administration that did nothing in the face of the evil. That is what you want?

"bush the owner of a last place baseball team"Hey stupid moron,
Another lie you are spreading about President Bush as the owner of a last place baseball team:
1989 George W. Bush and others purchase the Texas Rangers
1989 record 83-79 (4th out of 7 teams)
1990 record 83-79 (3rd out of 7 teams)
1991 record 85-77 (3rd out of 7 teams)
1992 record 77-85 (4th out of 7 teams - only losing record)
1993 record 86-76 (2nd out of 7 teams)
1994 record 52-62 (1st out of 4 teams - 1st place before the strike ends the season)
1994 sells interest in team to run and win Govenorship of Texas
George W. Bush helped turn the Rangers into a winner! This is why your side is going to lose the election this year. And lose bad. Like the '62 Mets. Or the '03 Tigers. You lie, you make stuff up, you get caught at it, and you look freaking stupid.
Ha ha.

Regime change in Iraq was official US government policy starting in 1998. Congress passed it. The Sink Emperor signed it. The "Avenger of the Bones" implemented it.
Saddam had WMD and used them. The only way he didn't have them in 2002 would be if he unilaterally destroyed them while no UN inspections were going on. If he really destroyed them, all he had to do was invite the UN to watch and the sanctions would have been lifted. He would be free to terrorize and murder his own people and Israel's at will.
O'Neil is a dickhead. He's going to learn the price of disloyalty this year.

I am sorry! But, his comments and behavior are indicative of his Klintoon loyalty and behavior... his mouth got him fired, as well as his behavior, not fitting for a US Treasury Administrator... :) Best wishes...

Sometimes, O'Neill says, they had to float an idea in the press just to scare a reaction out of him.Any questions?

This is what happened in the 80s under Reagan. Revenues did not grow as a result of Reagan's tax cuts, but but as a result of the INCREASE in payroll TAXES that followed his tax cuts. I certainly remember noticing the hit to my take home pay!
We hope that the economy will grow and revenues will grow sufficiently to meet expenditures, however we have had three years now of growing expenditures and reduced revenues.

Actually, tax cuts are morally the right thing to do because they allow the people who earn the money to keep more of what they earn.
But as a matter of fact government revenue for the first 2 months of FY 04 was higher than FY 03.
Keep your hands off of other people's money.

Isn't it amazing how the 'shine' on this story was lost so quickly? I don't even think the average bear remembers it.
Sorry, Mr. O'Neil - was it worth alienating so many folks in your life for 5 minutes (not even 15 minutes) of fame?
