White House: Bush misstated report on Iraq

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.

Only the second expansion team to ever
win their first game. The Vikes were
the first.

Someone has checked their brain at the door but it isn't the president. Surely, no one, not even NBC is stoooopied enough to think the president, THIS PRESIDENT, George W Bush, would misrepesent anything about a subject this important. That is ludicrious. Moreover, he runs a tight ship and no "senior member" of the administration would dare hint much less say such a thing. Consider the source.

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

Uh...whatever you say, sweethearts...speaking of Dickheads, have a look at your own "posts in forum" and see who is the DH (or whatever you're not hung with)....and I sincerely apologize for not replying to your rage within you and your pal's 15 second timeframe......there is life beyond your little computer screens. Sleep tight, kids, and don't forget to brush up on your skool assignment for tomorrow: Grammar

When do we roll on the entire Middle East?

One at a time.

[Texasforever]

Was the game sloppy or did the Texans play well? I may have to start watching them.

[gcruse]

You have freepmail.

Incredible.  The implication is the president lied to build justification for a pre-emptive attack on Iraq, and the Bushbots attack the networks.  I thought only Clintooniacs checked their brains at the door, but I know better now.  Thanks.

THANK YOU

4 years ago if POTUS did that there would be a loud denouncation of the lying President..But I guess it depends on the liar

[ErnBatavia]

the Cowboys lost to Houston. Agh.

...sound of roaches and druggies being crunched.

[Texasforever]

How do you know who is lying? The UN or Bush?

[RnMomof7]

We are outnumbered...so what? Truth is not decided by a popular vote...

[RnMomof7]

Yea Yea ....what did his staff say???

Graze away

[niki]

Hussein praised this.

Not a good enough reason to put our guys in there.

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

And Israel is more than capable of taking out their own trash.

[ErnBatavia]

So Ern is that it? Pitiful.

How old are you? Just curious, for obvious reasons.

[Howlin]

Bump.

[Texasforever]

I read the article did you? If the White House "acknowledged” it then who is the "senior staff member"? Why would the name not be public?

[gcruse]

You must hail from the blue sector of the country as shown
on the 2000 election map! Are you using your welfare money
to pay for internet connectivity?

Why would you  say that?

[gcruse]

LOL That's a great graphic.

[Long Cut]

Hopefully, whenever we can. One jerk at a time, since the military was wrecked by Slick & co. Iraq is, after all, directly in the middle of the Middle East, and thus is a wonderful strategic point to be in charge of. Plus, taking Iraq will give a good boost to those in Iran who'll happily string up their Ayatollahs if we provide a little help, and will make the Saudi royal family's position VERY precarious. Look at a map, it becomes very clear.

Get over the Buchanan-esque isolationism, man. Until the Mideast is reordered OUT of its current medieval, fanatic ways, MORE scenes like that photo will occur. The sooner it's done, the better. We CAN do it, and we SHOULD. No, it won't be easy OR cheap, but few worthwhile, beneficial things are. Witness the Cold War and WWII.

One more time. I don't think it has sunk in enough yet:

NEVER FORGET!!!

Any bets on when this thread will hit 300? 1000? Too bad I have to go to bed. This ought to be interesting.
