I'll defer to Bertrand Russell on that: "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." Joe F. |

OK, I'll bite...regardless of your difficulty in understanding, what's your excuse? I'll defer to Bertrand Russell on that: "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." Boy, it sounds like he was certain that he was, in fact, stating the WHOLE problem...but feel free to defer away... I can't say it's the WHOLE problem, but if a lot more people did a lot less deferring, maybe it would at least seem there were a lot fewer "fools" and fanatics and a lot more "wiser" people...

Well, I'm just pointing out that all those idiots that had the same information as GW came to the same conclusion. Then when things turn bad, as they most certainly have, attack like a bunch of wolves and pretend that they knew all along that we shouldn't have gone into Iraq and that there are no WMDs in Iraq. And then a bunch of morons, who pretend to know more than the Congress and the rest of the nations of the world, jump on the bandwagon. Gene |

Shrub and his neocon rat-*******s manipulated, hid, obfuscated, and flat out lied about the information and passed along only what was twisted to support a regime change in Iraq. The invasion of Iraq was pre-ordained just as soon as Shrub took the oath but helped enormously by 9-11. They lied to us Gene, they lied to the Congressional opposition and they lied to the Brits. Thank god the Congressional opposition and the Brits have sense enough to be ****ed off about it. And I'm guessing come election day the American people will demonstrate how ****ed off they are too, nitwits like you notwithstanding. -- Ken Fortenberry |

You should know enough to recognize revisionist history when you are spouting it. Everyone (including those outside the US) thought he had WMD. The Russians, British, even Clinton thought that he had them. - Ken |

When they vetted the speech, they made Bush say something along the lines of "the Brits think that Iraq was trying to buy uranium from...", because the CIA didn't believe it. There's an investigation that needs to be done. -- Scott Reverse name to reply |

If we didn't believe this, don't you think he should have added "but we don't believe this" after he said it? Couldn't you call this "cherry-picking" if you were wont to do so? He said this because he wanted to scare us into going to war. It's a lie of omission, and a very clear one at that. Is this a revisionist opinion? One wonders just what other lies were put forth. It's high time for this long delayed investigation to happen. -- Scott Reverse name to reply |
