WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush, trying again to explain the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, said on Saturday that suspected arms sites had been looted in the waning days of Saddam Hussein's rule.

"For more than a decade, Saddam Hussein went to great lengths to hide his weapons from the world. And in the regime's final days, documents and suspected weapons sites were looted and burned," Bush said in his weekly radio address.

It seems like we were used as the military arm of the UN to enforce the UN Resolution 1441. Do you think that is possible, that we are actually a big part of the UN?

The only issue you have proved is that you are a mind-numbed government robot.

I think the UN is the arm for the USA. Afterall, we deal with hundreds of socialist nations within the UN while creating the most support. I understand the UN is principally funded by the USA .... about 75%.

Ah, Bucky, you just can't get it through your skull that ad hominem attacks do not constitute rational debate, can you?

I've proven QUITE enough, thanks. And so have YOU.

Yeah, as they say, follow the money, that usually leads to what is going on.

btw, comrade Mikkelson on March 28, 1999 filed an absolutely FABulous story on Hillary and Chelsea watching a sunrise in Cal-i-forn-i-a. A Freeper named "Victoria" posted the article. (Thank you Google.)

You know you lost the argument .... that's why you have to call all your pals to see your perspective. You can't stand eye-to-eye with me and discuss the issues in an intelligent way, can you?

You must apply "gang-warfare" to prove your points.

Still, the whole problem about GWBush's wimping about WMD is because we have a failed government. You sit there at your computer chair rallying around GWBush as though he is a GOD; he is nothing but a mortal and has created tragic mistakes.

In this case, follow the oil pipeline .... it's all an excuse about so-called "national security." That's why the CIA fumbled the ball again. They have no government restraints under the National Security Act.

Please, your playground-style whining ill becomes an adult. I've stood eye-to-eye with you since you started this thread; my pings were to those I wanted to come and enjoy the fun of watching you lose it. Thanks for not disappointing me!

You've been exposed as a liar and a terr-supporter. Also as a hipocrite and a whiner. EVERYTHING you say has backed up all of the above, and simply continues to.

But keep going! (As if you'd stop...)

Have you ever wondered how 9/11 happened? Now the government is reaching out for excuses about their own failures again dealing with WMD. Do you ever wonder why?

There was no coalition, BTW. It was America 250,000 troops followed by Britain 30,000 troops and Australia 5,000 troops. If you call that a coalition, then you don't understand the term.

Don't act like an idiot, because I know damn well you aren't. A coaltion is about much more than just troops. It's about shared intelligence, humanitarian aid, and, in some cases, simply standing with you publicly.

Are you discounting Spain? What about the former Soviet bloc countries? All out the window?

What does it matter? Are you saying that an 'atta-boy' by socialists is an important bench-mark for claiming a coalition?

I'll say this S-L-O-W-L-Y just for you, Lips: I HAVE been, as you say, confronting you, not ONLY directly, but SPECIFICALLY throughout this thread.

The fact that, like a small child, you refuse to deal with that reality simply does not constitute a victory for you.

And, your juvenile attempts to deflect, swerve, and manuever the conversation around your patent dishonesty and slanderous speech have been gloriously obvious to all watching! Believe me, much laughter has ensued.

Now, let me guess...next, you will make yet another attempt to change the subject from the central issue of YOUR OWN credibility (and thus any reason anyone should take you seriously), or, failing that, you will call names and whine about how mean we all are.

"Have you ever wondered how 9/11 happened?"

A bunch of fanatical, psychotic Islamofacists hijacked three airliners, and then rammed them into buildings filled with unarmed civilians.

Pretty clear-cut, if you ask me. But then, I'm not some Fox Mulder mark.

Well, Bucky's been an interesting and entertaining diversion these past two days, but I've got more important things to do, like grill a couple of chicken breasts in a white wine sauce out back.

Have fun, Ms. Crawford.

Can you say illegal aliens that the government allowed here upon America's shores?

The former Soviet eastern bloc countries are not socialistic. What are you talking about?
