Sept. 7 — Seeking to build a case Saturday that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, President Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraq’s impending rearmament. But in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted.

Get some evidence before attacking Iraq.

How about being in constant violation of the cease-fire terms at the pause of the Gulf War?

[gcruse]

That is not connected to the WTC. Go after him with the UN for violations of that.

I guess we will hear the case this Thursday. I will be interested in your reaction at that time.

[ErnBatavia]

The case was made a year or so ago, "dear"....

[Texasforever]

How about Hussein's attempted assassination of Bush 41? That in itself is an act of war is it not?

[niki]

And "dear" the link to Iraq is...?

[gcruse]

Why do you think Bush is reluctant to get
a declaration of war from the Congress?
I should think he would want the country
as united in the effort as possible.
He has promised only to consult. Maybe
he doesn't want to tie the hands of the
next president. But what if it's Hillary?
Ack!

I went over there n read that crap. They aren't sayin the satellite photo is wrong. Say it's not a UN intelligence (a misnomer if ever there was one) photograph. Say IT IS a commercial satellite photo. Says the UN uses commercial satellite photographs. They are NOT saying the picture is lyin. They'd best not be sayin the President is either. IF he misspoke himself I feel certain it will be corrected. NOW, if ONLY we could correct 8 years of damned bill clinton...

And "dear" the link to Iraq is...?

Well, "blondie", I'd suggest you get a newspaper and read beyond what the first paragraph insinuates, but you wouldn't get it....so why not just 'ice it and move on'...

[Wingsofgold]

You see reluctance? Heheheee. I see impossible. If not for the democrats, we might get us a Government of folks who CARE about America and Americans. I don't see nuthin comin from Congress but bull and bigger bull.

You don't care much for the Republican House, I gather.

[niki]

So basically your a jerk, with no answers only insults and BS. Typical DH.

[eazdzit]

So Ern is that it?

Pitiful.

what makes you think Bush is reluctant? His powers as CIC would be elevated exponentially with a DOW.

[Long Cut]

How's THIS, DEAR?

Hussein praised this. He DOES finance people who DO this. He also has facilities to TRAIN them.

Look at that photo again, DEAR. STARE at it. REMEMBER,

He PRAISED this. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!?

Stay focused, DEAR. There's work to be done.

[gcruse]

I agree. That's why we need the unity of a DOW for this.
BTW, the Cowboys lost to Houston. Agh.

[gcruse]

 
He PRAISED this. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!?

All of Arabia praised it.  When do we roll on
the entire Middle East?

[Texasforever]

Are you serious? Our little old expansion team beat the big guys? LMAO.
