When the drums were beating loudly with what we now know were lies about Iraq-9/11 links and WMD, Barack Obama had the courage to say no. "Lies" that you nor anyone have proven. Again, a lie is knowingly saying something you know is false. If that and falsifying intelligence could be proven there'd be impeachment proceedings would go through and I'd be a staunch supporter of it. How long do you give them to prove Iraq-9/11 ties or to find WMD's before you consider them illegitimate reasons for war? Okay, we NOW know the WMD intelligence was bad as was the 9/11 link by defectors. However, before then it was a "slam dunk", all foreign intelligence services backing up the intelligence that Saddam had WMD. Plus, Saddam was getting restricted items into his country from countries like France, who has government officials that got money under the table via the Oil for Food program. Kofi Annan's own son got Oil for Food money under the table, and has admitted to it. I wont waste a lot of trouble for you to just ignore the facts or excuse them away, but I do have a bit of patience. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/24/AR2006062401081.html?sub=new In late January 2003, as Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to argue the Bush administration's case against Iraq at the United Nations, veteran CIA officer Tyler Drumheller sat down with a classified draft of Powell's speech to look for errors. He found a whopper: a claim about mobile biological labs built by Iraq for germ warfare. Drumheller instantly recognized the source, an Iraqi defector suspected of being mentally unstable and a liar. The CIA officer took his pen, he recounted in an interview, and crossed out the whole paragraph. A few days later, the lines were back in the speech. Powell stood before the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5 and said: "We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails." The sentence took Drumheller completely by surprise. |

Statement of John E. McLaughlin, Former Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
Delivered April 1, 2005 in Response to Final Report of the Silberman-Robb Commission: I did not know prior to Secretary Powell's UN speech that some of the information used in the biological weapons (BW) section was the product of a likely fabricator, as suggested by some of the testimony discussed in the Silberman-Robb Commission Report. I would never have permitted the use of such material by the Secretary had I known this. In fact, much of our time in the run-up to the speech was spent taking out material, including much that had been added by the policy community after the draft left the Agency, that we and the Secretary's staff judged to have been unreliable. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/24/AR2006062401194.html |

This war, the crowing achievement of this dreadful administration enriches the likes of **** Cheney’s Halliburton Corporation with no-bid contracts at the expense of over 4,000 American lives, thousands more Iraqis, lower standing in the world, and billions of wasted dollars. This inexcusable weakening of our nation is the legacy of George W. Bush. When the drums were beating loudly with what we now know were lies about Iraq-9/11 links and WMD, Barack Obama had the courage to say no. ![]() ![]() Mirror, please, the dixie chicks? They cremated Stevie Nick's "Landslide." I will give you a chance to pick someone else. Fair enough? Lindyy ![]() I liked their version of "Landslide". ![]() They wouldn't have been able to sing it without Stevie Nick's permission! Oh, look! Stevie and the the Chicks singing "Landslide" together! ![]() ![]() ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfP5yzgJqS8&feature=related |

Fanta, Click on the link under 'Nate Says:' or 'Troops love the smell of fresh Bull**** in the morning…' It's very entertaining! I especially liked the comment: 'The more this President and his unholy cabal of evil overlords continue to ignore the growing chorus demanding REAL change in ALL areas of how we conduct ourselves as a Nation, the faster the acceleration towards inevitable destruction the "conservative" war-hawk movement races' |

It has been 871 days since Obama has been to Iraq, yet he still refuses to go back and talk to our troops, give them encouragement and do some fact finding himself. Even after Senator John McCain offered obama to go with him to visit the troops so obama could see first hand what is taking place - obama feels it is not necessary for him to go there. Wow, what a great stand to take on foreign policy, homeland security, war on terrorism. ALSO, obama, who is the chairmn of an oversight committee on Afghanistan since the beginning of 2007, to date, has NOT HAD ONE oversight hearing on this matter. What a great relationship to build with our military, and this individual wants to be the Commander in Chief? Commander in Chief of what????? Tinkerbell thinks she could do a much better job. So do I. Lindyy, Obama is considering a visit to Iraq this summer. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/28/obama-considering-iraq-vi_n_104005.html In light of this fact, don't you think it's rather disingenuous to state that he "refuses to go back and talk to our troops"? Now Hiker, Didnt we discuss this last night? You cant expect the Bushies to read all the facts!!! ![]() Just those contained in the indoctrination misinformation leaflets!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Anything else and they cover their eyes, place their fingers in their ears and sing, La, la, la, la I CANT HEAR YOU!!! Have you regressed to first grade? You liked that didnt you Lindy!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Fanta ![]() Oh, go dump your devil in the black melting pot and see if you can come up with something better. ![]() Lindyy PTL ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Bottom line, we need to support our troops and if we are not going to have someone who is willing to go over there and see the conditions they are in themselves, how are they to understand the men and women who were put over there by our government.

![]() ![]() if he wants to be president he needs first hand knowledge it may not be (his war) but with his attitude i hope it never is if he refuses first hand knowledge when available then he will be relying on others info (we know how reliable that can be) he does not deserve to command those he refuses to go and get their insight of first hand knowledge |
