The Democrats would wait for the nuclear explosion to happen before believing that we should do something.And then if it were to actually happen, they would be the first and the loudest to gripe about why didn't we act pre-emptively in order to prevent this from happening.

Bush has a habit of coming up with the goods right AFTER the dems stout spouting off about it.
In fact, he seems to do it so often I wonder if it is his strategy (after seeing what the presstitutes did to his dad)

Of course, the Clintoon Aspirin Factory attack demonstrated the necessary intelligence and fore thought that is the hall mark of an outstanding military engagement.
Wag the Dog! How interesting that Hollywierd should produce this film, ostensibly to diss the "pubbies" but end up stickin' a finger in their own eye!! I guess they learned the "Hand Salute" maneuver with their thumb stickin' out!

LOL! The 'Rats keep digging their hole deeper. The more they verbalize this crap the higher GWB's ratings go and the smaller will be the 2005 Democrat presence in the Senate and the House.

Failure to find Saddam proves he never existed
-- Six weeks after the invasion of Iraq, Pentagon officials are quietly beginning to acknowledge that their failure to find Saddam Hussein may be proof that the Iraqi leader never existed.
"We hate to admit it," said one unnamed official, "One of our main reasons for going in there was regime change. You know...overthrow a brutal dictator who tortured his own people. But at this point, we're not sure there ever was a Saddam Hussein. After all, if we don't have him dead or alive...who's to say?"
The military official said that the statues, murals and videos of Saddam Hussein are "circumstantial evidence which don't prove anything."
"I try to look on the bright side," he added. "Maybe we'll luck out and find a few chemical weapons so the war won't have been a total waste."
Experts agree that evidence of actual atrocities against Iraqis lacks the news value that potential atrocities against Westerners would have.

The administration's strategy has been brilliantly planned. In a rational universe, the Dems would screaming out loud over the apparent failure to locate Saddam Hussein. We have one pissed-off, sadistic, vengeful dictator on the lam with nothing to lose -- supposedly -- and he knows where those WMDs are cached. Scary sh*t, right? Bush should be called on the carpet to explain. But, noooo, the dems in their infinite wisdom want to play up the angle that Saddam wasn't a threat, and obsess over the "failure" to get bin Laden, who is probably dead, never had WMDs, and is certainly in no position to threaten us today. Meanwhile, the chances are that the election is going to come around with no follow-up to 9/11, gas under $1 a gallon, and Saddam Hussein safely removed from the world stage. Bush has played the Dems for the chumps they are.

Look at it from the dems point of view. They were trained during Willie's term to know that when the President points over there, it means that the President is involved in sleazy, criminal activity over here and they better start lying about it.
They know that Bush is a straight arrow but can't let go of the old sewer dweller habits. When Biden speaks, I can just hear Homer Simpson saying, "Hey, what's going on?"

Was Saddam Hussein a threat to innocent human beings? Yes and he had proven it a million times over. Did he have those chem and bio weapons? Are they there now? I could care less. We did the right thing. It's an important issue in at least two respects. First, and most important, we have destroyed Saddam's government's capacity to use, or threaten to use, these WMDs, either directly or through other terrorist organizations (his government already qualifying as such itself). Second, to the extent that WMDs did exist but were destroyed just before the war began (as some evidence suggests), or still exist and are hidden, we need to track them down and secure them so that these weapons or their precursors don't ultimately end up in the wrong hands.

One question. Are the Iraqi people better off today than before our invasion and occupation? I think not. Read of the chaos in Iraq, of the demostrations against our presence and of the failure to establish a government. And the most troublesome aspect, the creation of more terrorists determined to eliminate us. We made a huge mistake.

Oh, of course, we should keep looking. I am operating under the assumption that they got rid of them at the last minute. If that is the case we still should have overthrown the regime. Heck, if they got rid of them 5 years ago, we still should have overthrown the regime.
I am just saying that I don't care if they didn't have them. But I DO believe they had them. I do believe they will turn up. If they don't surface, but they find evidence they were destroyed...fine with me. The correct course of action was still taken.

I do believe if the only thing we did was free the children from the childrens Prison, then there was no hype at all but all truth about what Saddam and sons were. I must say that the WMD issue, while always important, became less of a priorty for me on the day that I heard that such a children's prison existed and that we had liberated it. Having said that, I never believed that the war could not be justified except to eliminate a WMD threat. After all, the war in Afghanistan was fully justified, yet no one contended that the Taliban had or was developing WMDs. The princple that justifed both operations was the Bush Doctrine. If anything, the danger was much greater with Iraq even though that danger had not yet been actualized the way it was in September 2001 with the Taliban.

Oh, the sky is falling. How many people protested the war (Bush) in the United States? Hundreds of thousands right? How many are protesting us in Iraq? Thousands...maybe. Bush would probably get a better ratio of votes in Iraq.
And the most troublesome aspect, the creation of more terrorists determined to eliminate us. We made a huge mistake.
You may have others fooled, but not me. You are a frigging liberal. The whole arguement you just presented is straight from Pelosi's and Daschle's mouth.
Stop watching CNN and come back to the light!

The Dems are once again wrong. They need something to lie about, however....so here it is. Amazing when the Liar in Chief was in office - they didin't seem to worry about these things.
