Can you post the letter please.

[tobyhill]

It was through Internet form and not through my mail box. Here’s a snippet though. Feb 17, 1998, Clinton,”It is obvious that there is an attempt here, based on the whole history of this operation since 1991, to protect whatever remains of his capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction, the missiles to deliver them, and the feed stocks necessary to produce them”.
If my letter get’s responded to I’ll post my letter and the response.

Thanks

Sure it qualifies as news, if the Old Grey Lady says it is.

This “study” is just a Charles Lewis smear of Bush & the Republicans. Lewis claims to be non-partisan, but as the Weekly Standard wryly noted a few years ago:

“Charles Lewis... runs a scrupulously nonpartisan shop, you understand, and his donor list represents the full spectrum of American viewpoints, from the Gaia Fund to the Streisand Foundation and everything in between.”

Funny stuff. However, there is apparently one strange exception to the left/liberal lineup backing Lewis. One of his web sites says that Paul Volker wrote him a check, too: http://www.tfij.org/about/donors/

As for the “study” itself, it is easily refuted. To shoot down the “Bush lied, people died” con artists, you can find many quotes from prominent DEMOCRATS, during both Clinton and Bush administrations, warning of Saddam’s WMDs, here:

A couple of years ago the Chicago Tribune noted:

“Assertions that the Bush administration strong-armed intelligence analysts in 2002 and 2003, or misled the nation in making its nuclear case for war, challenge logic. During and after Clinton’s presidency, the intelligence community repeatedly warned the White House that Iraq was one cache of fissile material and one year short of wielding a nuclear bomb. If the White House manipulated or exaggerated that intelligence before the war in order to paint a more-menacing portrait of Saddam Hussein, it’s difficult to imagine why. For five years, the official and oft-delivered alarms from the U.S. intelligence community had been menacing enough.”

Who lied (who lied?), who died (who died?), who pays (who pays?), who profi-its?

Of course Bill Clinton was tried and found guilty of perjury, but that was just peachy.

The old double standard at work.

I’ll take that as a rhetorical question.

Whenever I hear of an organization in the news that I am unfamiliar with, I take a few seconds to google it. It is absolutely amazing what one can find out when one uses the Internet to go to the actual organization’s website! I guess all those journalism schools out there, along with the AP, Fox News, and the rest of the MSM don’t know about this valuable source of information. They appear surprisingly ignorant of Algore’s most wonderful invention!

Lol, in highschool I took ‘Plane Geometry’ and ‘Solid Geometry’. Guess the ‘plane’ was ‘flat’ and ‘solid’ was the 3 dimensional. Been awhile!! lol
