Kerry calls on Bush 'to tell the truth' about Iraq

"it's about time". This action is long overdue. They need to pound on the WMD issue and the economy EVERY DAY.

I mean it's self-evident that "the war is continuing and so are the casualties". Call him on the lies, distortions, and selective use of intelligence used to justify the war.

Another thing, 31 troops killed by hostile fire is misleading. Lots of troops have been killed in vehicle accidents caused by driving at unsafe speeds. They drive fast to avoid ambush. So, many of the 'non-hostile' deaths are really caused indirectly by the guerilla fighters.

or our government to make a fraudulent distinction between various deaths and injuries in combat! No such distinctions have ever been made in any other war we have ever been involved in. The only distinction generally made in history is between "battlefield" deaths and diseases. The media nad our government has got to stop this patently propagandistic foolishness! It is insulting to the public, but more eggregiouly, it is insulting to our soldiers.

Thought I did that. The time on this article now says 1:12 PM. The other thread says 11:50 AM. When I duped, the other thread was listed as 10 minutes earlier and had 5 more replies than this. The first reply to the other thread is also listed earlier than the first reply to this. I'm confused since the times seem to be changing.

Where do I find a posting time that doesn't change?

Telling the "Truth" is far above Bush's level of integrity!!!


Dem's take back America in 04' :dem:

has heretofore not been told on this issue.

Kerry's a great one.

by the executive branch before the vote to influence their vote.

This is a fairly good stand from Kerry. It's a bit too cautious, IMHO, but it still advances the debate a bit. I prefer Dean's stance that some folks in the Bush administration need to resign because they "misled the President, misled the nation, and misled the world in making the case for the war in Iraq".

But I just heard the Chimp on the radio yesterday saying that he "has no doubt that he's done the right thing." So truth doesn't matter. It will all turn out all right in the end. None of us should worry our pretty little heads about it.

Lieberman and Edwards are the only candidates still standing at the train station!

Candy Crowley on CNN was asking Bob Graham today if Bush purposely lied about WMD in Iraq? A tremendous concession that Bush lied on her part. Whether Bush knew that the Niger uranium claim was true or not is irrelevant! As Prez, Bush is responsible for everything that happens in the government, particular on national defense and foreign policy issues.

BTW, Crowley showed Graham a December 2002 quote of his in which Graham said that he had seen proof that Saddam had WMD. Crowley was trying to trip Graham with that question. This is the sort of question that all of the Democrats that voted for the Iraq war can be expected to hear whenever they say that Bush lied.

Graham's answer was that his remarks were based on the briefing he got from CIA and Pentagon. An adequate answer, I thought!

Bush lied, people died.

I dislike the way Kerry has shifted positions from "Yes, but"
to what is now essentially a "look-at-me-Im-another-Dennis".
Your just a politician in my book, John.
