You just pretty much announced to everyone that you are a troll. Have you been lurking or have you been zotted before? You must realize that this is a conservative group and If you where more honest then identify yourself as a Libertarian.
I hope you understand, for the rest of us, that's not good enough.
The rest of us? as in who? Don't say you speak for the American people because you don't. You pretty much have to speak for yourself.
Have we got a live one?
Have we got a live one?Yep ! But Southack is tearing him a new arse !
There will be a wake later, I think.
And a good job at that. It's beginning to look like a hit & run troll
“Kerry didn't try to "gut our intelligence" when he suggested we use it's surplus...”
Kerry didn’t have to, our intelligence was gutted during the Clinton administration – people used for intelligence weren’t nice; stopped all profiling and ham strung the CIA and FBI with a WALL of no inner agency weights and balances except for the helpful FBI files for Mrs. Clinton.
” There was no need to try to deceive the public...”
President Bush, Prime Minster Blair, the United Nations, our Congress had only what was left of our intelligence and what ever the others had to go on – this was not a deception as it was agreed upon by all parties and it was not a unilateral decision on the part of President Bush.”
I would go on but someone else will have to educate you if you won’t do your own research. The Clinton administration also warned the American public about those ties and defended its response to al Qaeda terror by citing an Iraqi connection. “Lieutenant-Colonel Ahmed Hikmat Shakir was an officer in the Fedayeen, it would establish a direct link between Iraq and the al Qaeda operatives who planned 9/11. Shakir was present at the January 2000 al Qaeda "summit" in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at which the 9/11 attacks were planned. The U.S. has never been sure whether he was there on behalf of the Iraqi regime or whether he was an Iraqi Islamicist who hooked up with al Qaeda on his own.”
” Even the former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet said, in testimony before the 9-11 Commission, ‘it would take us another five years to have the kind of clandestine service our country needs.’ Thanks to historic levels of funding authorized in this bill we will continue to make great strides in achieving our goal of strengthening our intelligence agencies.
Most recently, much debate has occurred about whether there is a link between Saddam Hussein and al Qeada. Our understanding of terrorist efforts and intentions come from our intelligence and that intelligence has shown that under both the Bush and Clinton Administrations there was significant evidence of a relationship between the tyrannical Iraqi leader and the terrorist group. Under President Clinton, there were at least two official pronouncements of an alarming alliance between Baghdad and al Qaeda. One came from William S. Cohen, Clinton’s defense secretary. He cited an al Qaeda-Baghdad link to justify the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan. The other pronouncement is contained in a Justice Department indictment on Nov. 4, 1998, charging bin Laden with murder in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. The indictment disclosed a close relationship between al Qaeda and Saddam's regime, which included specialists on chemical weapons and all types of bombs, including truck bombs, a favorite weapon of terrorists (Washington Times).
There is no doubt that there was a connection between Saddam and al Qeada to some extent. Unfortunately, our intelligence community was hamstringed to amass all of the information. .........
There is simply a ton of evidence for those who want to see and read the truth.
