If I had an investment and lost my investment because of...
...bad intelligence, I'd want to know why.

Our President is obviously not interested in the truth. That pretty much convicts him right there.

Of course, he deserves a trial.

2. And if convicted,
he should not get a pardon, placing him on a par with other American citizens who don't have friends in high places.

3. Difference being, bush** asked for the bad intelligence. He knew it
was flawed. He ordered up the bad intelligence and he got it and then he lied about it to the Dems in Congress and the American people.

4. if *i* went to war based on bad intel, i'd be PPPIIISSSSSSSSEEEDDD!!!!!
but it's all lies. c'mon, we ALL KNOW the intel was drummed up and that he was dead set on the war ever since poppy called off the first iraq war.

it still amazes me how much the msm goes along with this crap.

5. Exactly! He ordered up the bad intelligence! He demanded it!
He's a liar, and the only reason he's now on the defensive is because a majority of Americans are realizing that he lied his ass off to take us to war. That and the Democrats who were lied to about his so called bad intelligence are finally speaking out and calling him on it. Not only that, but they are demanding an investigation into his bad intelligence.

6. i, for one, never bought it. i must say that i was behind him when
he went into afghanistan (even though i'm a democrat) to get the taliban, al quada and bin laden. but iraq was not a terrorist hot bed until we went in and created one. we are in such a fucking mess there, i don't know how we'll get out of it.

9. I never bought any of his lies. I wasn't behind him in Afghanistan either
Probably because I didn't buy his 9/11 excuse, because he never provided proof that Osama Bin Laden was behind the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Even if that were true, it was no reason to attack a country and kill innocent people. Besides that, 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, so why not attack that country if we needed to attack a country. Clinton managed to apprehend and prosecuted the WTC bombers without attacking a country. Why couldn't bush do the same? Because it was never about catching Osama in the first place.

11. Haven't seen that doc, so I can't comment on it. If true, that's an
action bushco can't be accused of, since he has bombed wedding parties and neighborhoods where innocents, including children were. And to my knowledge, bush hasn't really ever tried to get Osama.

7. I wonder how many people truly, in their hearts, buy that excuse.
Don't we *all* know it was bad intelligence that he specifically asked for?

I'm beginning to think that even those who support the guy at this point know he's lying -- but just think it's okay.
