1) Afghanistan and Iraq are free, democratic societies.
2) Israel and Palestine will live in peace, thanks to the road map.
3) Libya is now our friend.
4) Iran and North Korea's regimes will soon collapse under their own weight.
5) There will be peace in the Middle East. Think about that.
6) Pulled the country out of a recession after the worst tragedy to ever befall us.

Is this a war about oil? You bet it is. Don't be so naive. We are an oil-based economy. Every president for the last fifty years had as a national security agenda item to "Secure the energy resources of the Middle East". Was this about WMD's? Yes. Did we find them? Not yet. Did Saddam have them? Yes...he used them on his own people. Didn't the DEMOCRATS on the intelligence committee have the same infomation as the president did to use as an issue to go to war? Yes, but somehow libs just blame the president. Did Iraq harbor terrorists that we were after in our war against terror? Yes...after Zaqawi left Afghanistan where do you think he went? Oh, yeah...Iraq.

That's enough for now. You libs are like children...have to have it all spoon fed to you or you just don't get it.

6. I Think They Should All Take Their Summer Vacation....
...in Iraq. What better than to spend a week or two in the cradle of civilization than on the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

7. LOL . . . Whoever sent it is so abysmally uninformed that they aren't
worth debating with.

Afghanistan is free? Have them read this article: http://www.sundayherald.com/print47282 then come tell us how free they are.

Ummm, the "road map" disappeared a long time ago and has nothing whatsoever to do with what is currently happening between Israel and Palestine. Unless Bush specifically listed on the roadmap "Arafat Dies" this is a preposterous and unfounded thing to credit Shrub with.

Libya is NOT our friend. To believe they are is the same as to believe that Saddam was our friend while Rumsfeld was shaking hands with him in 1983.

Iran and North Korea are NOT going to collapse under their own weight, they are used to dealing with the situations they are in and will continue to do so. The only regime in danger of collapsing under its own weight is the Bush regime.

Ummm, no there will NOT be peace, in fact, considering that people are still dying regularly as a result of non-peaceful actions, this is a specious claim.

Ummm, the economy is NOT thriving, Bush is still over 2.4 million jobs in the hole since he took office, the country is facing the worst deficits (both budget and trade) in its history.

Every point there is erroneous and poorly stated, having little to no basis in reality.

As to WMD's, we WILL NOT FIND THEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EXIST. As to him "using them on his own people" he did so with the knowledge of the prior Republican administration who not only turned their heads, but refused to endorse UN resolutions against him for using them.

The ignorance of these people is astounding.

14. I was flipping through the channels and caught Faux News
saying that it was no longer true that Bush was as bad as Hoover. They said that 100,000 new jobs had been created under Bush over his two term now. I think it was Cavuto and it was that woman with the really thick Southern accent that even I can hear (and I'm Southern).
I shook my head and thought, "If this is in ANYWAY true, I can only think that these jobs pay minimum wage or worse."
Needless to say, I kept flipping through the channels.
Imagine, I was only on Faux for a minute - A MINUTE, if that! - and I caught slimy propaganda.

10. Yech, who sent it to you?
Glad I didn't get one.

Did you respond? I wouldn't bother unless you send them my favorite comment:
"Gee, I thought you were a lot smarter than that"
Kinda stumps them for a response cause what would they say- " Uh, no, no I'm not"

Ha,ha,ha.

11. Let me see, you must be a repub who believes all the lies, wrong arena
WE are the left side of the spectrum and we do not continue to support these lies, there were no WMDs, the War in Iraq is illegal, we are killing thousand of its citizens without a good reason to do so. Any one who supports this death in war campaign to conquer the known world is not a very nice person or someone whom I wish to know. * is the reason for it all along with his posse adminstration, rice bowl, cheney link, rummy liquer, etc. But we will live to see the day that all these evil people will pay the price for their deceptions to the American public and I will have no problem dancing on their graves when that time comes as well.

16. Let's see

1) Afghanistan and Iraq are free, democratic societies.
Afghanistan is controlled by war lords, the new US backed government only controls Kabul.

2) Israel and Palestine will live in peace, thanks to the road map.
Bullshit. As long as the Likud controls the government, the level of violence will be adjusted to suit their needs.

3) Libya is now our friend.
and they call us Democrats delusional

4) Iran and North Korea's regimes will soon collapse under their own weight.
Replaced by what? Nationalism will prevail in both countries. They will reject our interferrance.

5) There will be peace in the Middle East. Think about that.
Not as long as war is profitable for business and politicians.

6) Pulled the country out of a recession after the worst tragedy to ever befall us.
The recession served its purpose to drive down wages and give the capitalist more power over the workers. It is not needed now.


The Democrats did not have the same intelligence info the president had. The president only had what Condi wanted him to hear. The president only told the Republicans what he wanted them to hear, and the Republicans only told the Democrats what they wanted the Democrats to hear.

17. Thanks for posting this
Unlike some, I appreciate these RW e-mails being posted and refuted. I always bookmark the thread so I can refer to it when one of the sleazy little rants ends up in my e-mail inbox.

I always respond. Somehow ignoring them just makes them think I agree or have somehow been "educated" by them.
