The irony is you think more like the people you claim to hate than you care to admit. Isn't it always the way.

You just hate terrorists because its like looking in the mirror. You are just as brainwashed as them only you are far too brainwashed to see it... and you hate your 'enemy' just as intensely as they do. :1orglaugh

3. I am not trying to prove that Bush didnt spin anything, I am pointing out that INTELLIGENT people never "assumed" Iraq was directly involved in 9/11.
4. Really its all a moot point because Saddam HAD to go period, anyone who couldnt see that deserves to spend a life "assuming" things.

I will agree with you that Saddam had to go. There is no arguing that he was a monster who did terrible things to his people and would harm others, including us, if he had the means. I guess I differ with some people on how we should have gone about it, but you are right, he was a bad guy.

The thing that annoys me the most about Bush is that everytime he want's to do something controversial he plays the 9/11 /saftey card and tries to convice people that if they don't follow him blindly another 9/11 will happen or we will not be safe.

As for people thinking that Saddam and Iraq are two different entities I would argue that when people say Iraq they think Saddamn and when they say Saddamn they think Iraq. In the minds of many they are one in the same. Here is an article from the Washington Post saying that 40% of Americans thought Iraq was involved in 9/11 I would imagine if you asked the same people "was saddamn involved in 9/11?" you would get the same answer.

Your fucking with other countries got you 9/11.... no doubt in the future it will get you more of the same. For every action there are consequences. When are you going to wake up and realise that?

By the way to clear some things up I'm not a democrat I'm a independant. When I first registered to vote in 1987 at I registered as a Repubilcan. I fact I voted for Jack Kemp I the GOP primary in 1988 and voted for Bush I in 1988 election. Of the 20 years as a registered voter, I spent 6 as a republican and the last 14 as in INDEPENDANT. So I can talk shit about the GOP if I want. Once the GOP decides to kick the Jesus freaks to the curb and actually start practicing the "less government in people's lives" motto they preach maybe I'll reconsider them.

Didnt see the link but 40% is a number that I believe is much more accurate, and to most "poor" people(who on average are Democratic and are not too concerned with worldly matters) yes Saddam and Iraq probably mean the same thing to them.
There is a big difference between 40% and 70%.

As far as Bush playing the 9/11 "card" so to speak, look you have to understand the magnitude of 9/11. It was a catastrophic event for the United States, Pearl Harbor was the only thing that was remotely similar... and we all saw the end result of that. 9/11 was and should be revered and we should work to make sure something like that doesnt happen again. It hasnt... yet.

Should we be afraid of terrorists, figuratively speaking yes, but not everyday literally being afraid. Should we have been afraid of terrorists in 1993 when they attacked the WTC the first time, yes of course, but we werent, we blissfully ignored them like some people in this thread are ignoring threats now.

2. I support my commander-in-chief during war time no matter what party he belongs to.
Bravo genius. Technically, we are not at war in Iraq...if you could even grasp that simple fact, then you might not appear to be such a dupe of the neocon propaganda machine.

The Joint Resolution authorizing sending troops into Iraq is different than a Declaration of War.

Regardless, most people place their trust in the President when the lives of U.S. troops are at stake, and the support Bush had post-9/11 was unprecendented. But, when you have been lied to so many times, at some point you have to say enough is enough. I don't ascribe to the "good Nazi" defense.

The lies and continued deployment of our troops, years after "mission accomplished", have caused many in the President's own party, many in the intelligence field, and several former General's and others to call for our withdrawal from Iraq.

You think that just because you like to wrap yourself in the flag, that makes your opinions correct, and that you are more patriotic than people who disagree with you. You disgrace the flag when you do that.

I served six years in the Navy (I was on active duty longer than Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld combined), so I will never bow down to idiotic posturing, nor salute failed policies resulting in the unnecessary deaths of our troops.

My criticisms are not limited to the Bush administration, I have been known to criticize bad policies, regardless of the political party or ideology promoting them.

Quote:

3. Intelligence agencies throughout the world were of the mindset that Saddam DID have WMD. Regardless of whether he would "give" them to terrorists the fact that he supposedly HAD them was reason enough to invade because he had violated not only 19 UN resolutions but was actively seeking WMD AND had violated the 1991 cease fire agreement.
The Bush/Cheney neocon driven propaganda machine and their agents planted much of the false intelligence the world relied upon, and they ignored any intelligence that contradicted them, or interfered with their desire to invade Iraq. Most of the world understands this now.

See my previous post about Chalabi and the INC. They were a major source of much of the false information, correct?

You should be pissed that billions of dollars of taxpayer money and thousands of precious lives have been lost due to bad intelligence. You should be doubly angry it's the people that you trusted, whom deliberately twisted the intelligence in order to pursue and implement a disasterous agenda that otherwise would have not been possible.

I agree we should be afraid and our fear should have been starting to build many years back, maybe even before 1993, but like you said we are often blissfully ignorant and assume it won't happen to us.

It just seems like if Bush wants to do something that erodes freedoms or could be misused, he breaks out the 9/11 references. I understand how terrible it was and it should always be in the back of our minds, but it shouldn't be dragged out every time he finds opposition to something he wants to do.

It's hard for me to buy him has someone trying hard to protect the country while we have somewhere around 10,000 illegals a day sneaking in from Mexico.

Even if that was true, and Ill grant you some latitude there, Saddam had violated many UN resolutions for years as well as breaking the cease fire agreement several times. He did import BANNED missle parts, he did fire on coalition aircraft in the no fly zone. We had every right in the world to invade and take him out period.


As far as my websites, I will never tell you them but I will tell you this to be a little bit more specific, my "web sites" are merely "door ways" to sponsors/advertisers. In the "traditional" sense I dont run a "content" site and Google is my main traffic source. Does that help you at all.

I completely agree with almost everything you said up there, keep in mind Bush IS a politician and well politicians in general do disingenuous things. I always think in terms of lesser of evils, sure could there be a much better President in office yes, could there be a worse one, yes it could be Jimmy Carter who would have ran in fear from Al Qaeda. As far as Bush eroding freedoms that is an issue I am not so convinced of, I have yet to see one freedom he has eroded of mine personally. Much of it is anti-Bush propaganda, we are a nation of laws, new laws are enacted by each congress and president. Hell Clinton took the freedom of soldiers to come out of the closet. Shrug, I want to come down to the basics...

1. We cant withdraw from Iraq until it is somewhat stabilized.
2. Bush only has a couple years left and we need to start healing the culture gap in our country so we need some people in Congress to step to the plate and start the healing process or this bitter divide in America will just get stronger and stronger each Presidency.
3. American policy has always been pre-emptive it just hasnt been so blatant as the Bush administration has made it. We need to do more actions covertly.
4. The United Nations is useless it should be disbanded and another organization formed from the ground up.

For future reference, if you need to make a claim backed by a news story, try to post a reference not from Fox News, as they're about as bogus as it gets. Go for a more reliable source...if such a thing really exists in this spinster-saturated media world.

Most of the 9/11 hijackers were supposedly Saudi, and bin Laden himself is a Saudi, and it's true that Bush and the Saudi royal family have deep economic ties, but recent news out of the Middle East suggests the cozy relationship between Bush and the Saudis is starting to sour...

(Source: Time magazine)

Quote:

Saudi Arabia's increasingly public divergence from U.S. positions is a comparatively new development — until fairly recently, Abdullah appeared willing to support Bush as much as possible. But the message out of the Riyadh summit is that the Saudis, along with the other Arab states, have concluded that Washington's policies are neither wise, effective, or in long-term Arab interests, and they are signaling their intent to take greater control over their own destiny.

In his summit speech, Abdullah called the U.S. military involvement in Iraq an "illegitimate foreign occupation," and demanded an end to the "unjust" American-led embargo on the Hamas-dominated Palestinian Authority.

All of this amounted to a sharp debunking of Rice's suggestion that Saudi Arabia and other Arab allies form a new moderate bloc to confront Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hizballah. Abdullah called on his fellow leaders to restore their credibility with the Arab public and never "allow banners to be raised in Arab lands other than those of Arabism."
It's not hard to understand this when you consider that Bush's disasterous actions in Iraq have removed a Sunni governed state (Iraq), which had been a buffer between Saudi Arabia (which is Sunni run), and Iran (which is a Shiite state).

You've heard the expression wagging the dog, well, in the Middle East, Bush screwed the pooch...

You do realize Iraq attacked Kuwait which was Sunni? He also annexed the UN mandated buffer zone between Saudi Arabia and Iraq without the Saudis approval. The Saudis BEGGED for us to protect them after Saddam attacked Kuwait. Saddam was more dangerous to Saudi Arabia than Iran that is a fact, hell Iraqs military decimated and beat the Iranians. Saddam was dangerous for EVERYONE, Bush did the Saudis a favor by removing Saddam.

You are right and wrong. Saddam WAS a threat to Saudi Arabia back in the day. The keyword being WAS. Saddam was desperate for money back then and probably would have gone into Saudi Arabia had we not stepped in. He had the 5th strongest army in the world at the time I believe.

But that was then. After the first Gulf War, his army was decimated and not allowed to build up again. They were not allowed to fly outside the "no-fly zone" and posed zero threat to Saudi Arabia (especially considering our position out there and ability to step in immediately). He simply didn't have the military power to pose any threat to Saudi Arabia.

So this move is actually bad for Saudi Arabia who will now have to deal with a Shia controlled country. It is why the Saudi Prince came out the other day to bash the occupation of Iraq. I don't think either poses a threat to them, especially with the fact that we'd step in to protect them in a second. But I think their concern is that Iraq will become a breeding ground for anti-Sunni groups that can slowly infiltrate the country and cause trouble.

2. Bush only has a couple years left and we need to start healing the culture gap in our country so we need some people in Congress to step to the plate and start the healing process or this bitter divide in America will just get stronger and stronger each Presidency.
3. American policy has always been pre-emptive it just hasnt been so blatant as the Bush administration has made it. We need to do more actions covertly.
4. The United Nations is useless it should be disbanded and another organization formed from the ground up.

I agree strongly that the number one thing this country needs right now is to heal the culture gap in this country. It kind of started with Clinton. A lot of people on the right dispised him and they did everything they could to get the white house back after he left office. I think much of the country still has a bitter taste in its mouth over the 2000 election and even to a smaller extent the 2004 election. There are few more polorizing figures in politics than Bush and I think he needs to try to help bring people back together after a long, crazy 6 years. Although I don't think he can do it. We are stuck in Iraq with no end in site and his current policiy seems to be to pass it on to the next president. The democrats who were elected on a campaign the included a heavy dose of "unity for the country" seem only interested in going after the republicans. I have a feeling that unless someone moderate wins the whitehouse in 2008 the gap will only widen.

We trully are a country made up of red and blue states now. It's going to take a hell of an effort to bring them back together.
