2. A cheerful thought, if ever there was one.
Mehlman and Scott McLellan must be dizzy from their constant spinning.

9. closet case ken fronts the rnc. this is an intelligent gay man...
how much self-loathing and hate does it take to make it o.k. to immerse yourself in a job and an ideology that views you as an aberration?

4. Intelligence is information.
It's the users of the intelligence who manipulate it for their political ends that is the problem. This administration took weak, incomplete intel qnd, discarding conflicting intel, wove a political narrative that they could sell to the public. That narrative was inaccurate.

6. The meme that the world saw the same intelligence and agreed
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 11:10 AM by Sydnie
needs to be examined more closely. Obviously, not every country agreed, France being a major country that didn't buy into the bullshit they were force fed.

We need to begin to look at an in depth way at the countries that were part of the "coalition of the arm twisted" and see just what incentives they had to go along with and accept this intelligence as truth.

Did we forgive loans for these countries? Did we make some sort of deal with them to forgive past issues or to sway opinion of some future endeavor? I'm not talking about Blair ... he was in it up to his neck. I am talking about areas like Poland (don't forget Poland), what deal did we make with them to get them to go along with these lies?

Anybody know what we had on these other countries?

7. One wonders how right wingers deal with the internal contradictions
without having their tiny pointed heads pop....

"Yes, that's why we changed french fries to freedom fries and boycott France...because the French believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction too."

18. Bullets from Poland cost 3 X normal international price...
"Bullets purchased from Poland by the Defense Ministry cost three times the normal international price"

Money for Nothing
By Philip Giraldi, American Conservative 24/10/05
Nov 4, 2005, 11:14

The United States invaded Iraq with a high-minded mission: destroy dangerous weapons, bring democracy, and trigger a wave of reform across the Middle East. None of these have happened.

When the final page is written on America’s catastrophic imperial venture, one word will dominate the explanation of U.S. failure—corruption.

11. I followed your link and found this quote by Rove/Napoleon
Rove quoted Napoleon: "The whole art of war consists in a well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive, followed by rapid and audacious attack."

5. Of course he said all that
We expected s
PLEASE-can we save the tarring and feathering for what he said about the Katrina images?

That what he saw (looking at the trapped, abandoned people) was the failure of the welfare state.

Because? Well since it was Katrina that made them homeless and with no food or goods, we know it wasn't that.

What he saw were black people who didn't leave town.

Welfare state. Freepers said the same thing.

What the hell did he know about them? Do the working poor and middle class or the retired usually have much money left at the end of the month? Do they always have good cars if they live in a city with public transportation? Does he know how many owned their homes?

He looked and saw the welfare state. That is profoundly disturbing.

Please, let that be what we tar him for.

23. of all the things he was spewing this morning
that had to be the worst. I can't stand this guy. Did he once mention how the republicans continually vote down raising the minimum wage? Of course not.

10. Dildos are useful (I'm told) but Mehlman is NOT.
He LIED every single time he opened his facial anus. The LIES and MISINFORMATION that spew forth from that sphincter-face warrant tarring and feathering for sure.

15. They've gotten everything they wanted. Why should anyone be held
accountable? Think of the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS that have been transferred from one sector of society to another. That was their intention--and if it costs lives--American civilian and military lives and Afgani lives and Iraqi lives--they obviously don't care. It wasn't a "mistake." It wasn't "Incompetence." It was sheer ruthless greed and brutality.

:puke:

Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 11:37 AM by Solly Mack
pillage it's resources, kill your own citizens in the process - all for a LIE - and then get to say what amounts to "Oops! My bad!"

16. And that makes everything ok?
You stupid stupid bastard! Tens of thousands of people dead. Over 2,000 of our soldiers dead. At least 25, 000 injured. The country of Iraq in ruins. And that is all they say?

The intelligence turned out to be inaccurate so lets stay the course and keep on doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason. That is the most insane logic I have ever heard. Next time someone says stay the course, tell them the course is wrong, the republicans admit the intel was wrong, so therefore the whole war is wrong.

24.  "The intelligence turned out to be inaccurate.""
So when is anyone going to ask, if the intelligence was so wrong, why did the Shrub give the Presidential medal of Freedom to the man that was so wrong? Huh? When they gonna' ask that?

IMHO, he got the medal because he told Shrub exactly what Shrub wanted to hear.
