Q One question for you both. Do you believe that there is a link between Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the 11th?

THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.

[FascistSlayer]

I'll look into it.

[isthisnickcool]

You are starting to set off the "yawn meter".

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Answer the question and back it up.

You claim he is a liar, and that he has said Saddam is directly linked to Sept. 11th.

Back it up, liar.

[Prodigal Son]

You need to provide something! Just put it out there. What was the source you used to make you decisions! Whatever it was, you need to post it! Don't be jerking us off here! You've made serious allegations. You need to put up something- something!

[swheats]

Hey...the Clintons are now quite wealthy, what with Hillary's DNC bestseller and Bill raking in the dough from bribesspeeches. Does that mean they're now Republicans?

If that's what it takes to get them in the White House next time around, you bet. You know every body grows up and moves on and all.

. Do you believe that there is a link between Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the 11th?

THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.

Now if you will ask him if there is an indirect link.

I think it thinks it's Martha Stewart. Removing things from the table, so graciously avoiding questions. And if it's at work and can't find/remember anything to back up accusations, why can it find the time to sign up and post a thread? Shouldn't it be doing the honest thing and working?

[sweetliberty]

"If he didn't say this why isn't this post pulled? Have I had too many rum and cokes?"

I think the Admin may be playing cat and mouse RAT with him.

[isthisnickcool]

You need to provide something!

FS is going the way the Wicked Witch of The West did shortly after coming into contact with H2O. Melting... Melting... Melting....

[weegee]

This thread started as a couple line vanity on a topic that is almost 6months old.

He has done nothing to defend his "position" or even to clarify his position.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Partial transcript from interview with Tony Snow on 3/4/01:

SNOW: Race relations?

BYRD: They are much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime. I think we — this is my personal opinion. I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us. I think we can all profit by our mistakes. I think we've reached a new plateau, and I think it's going to keep going upward, that understanding and race relations.

I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, "Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody." We practice that.

There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time; I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much.

SNOW: Are you going to run again?

You'll also notice that if any republican had said that "these (race problems) are largely behind us," they would've been taken to the woodshed by the libs. But not Byrd...he's the conscience of the Senate.

[CONSERVE]

So what did the President lie to you about?

[FascistSlayer]

I know I sound like an instigator, or a disruptor, or whatever, but I'm not.

I have read this board before, and to be honest, I'm pretty sure any sources that I trust will be ones that many here don't.

But here's one lie.

The Niger claim. Bush claimed that Iraq tried to buy uranium from an African country, later revealed as Niger, in the State of the Union speech.

This was not true. The CIA let him know before the SotU. He still used this claim in the speech. The documents used to "prove" the claim were forged, according to the IAEA.

Now, the administration claims it was the CIA's fault. But the White House was informed before the SotU speech, and the CIA successfully had the statement cut. Yet it still wound up in the speech.

[Prodigal Son]

He's not going to answer it.

[lowbridge]

Totally fair. Please understand that I am at work, and so do not have my research stored here and must actually seek out information to link to (I don't memorize links, my memory's not that good!).

Google is our friend. :-)

[weegee]

David Duke ran as a Democrat before he ran as a Republican. I wouldn't put it past the Clintons to change their party registration, after all they'd never run on the socialist ticket (too obvious and no matching funds).

[CONSERVE]

I have read this board before,

You haven't read it lately then have you this (the Niger claim) has been hashed and rehashed around here for the past three days.

[cwb]

Oh boy...here we go again:>)

[Prodigal Son]

And where in all these links does it say your president lied to you? You need to get on the ball here. I see a bunch of links purporting this or that but nowhere do I find evidence of Presidential lying.

Furthermore, why did you not provide these links earlier? Why not provide them in your initial posts???

[cwb]

Thanks. I finally found it.
