Scotty & The Press Were 'Mislead' - I had an Internet Connection, DU, RESEARCH & KNOWLEDGE
*I* was right and those FUCKERS were wrong.

I refuse to 'GLOAT' and THEY should be sacked.

It really IS that simple. :eyes:

1. None of this was any surprise to me.
They used propoganda to sell the war? Duh.

2. No, they were not misled.
They did not make a mistake. They knew exactly what they were doing when they lied this country into war.

That is why they should be prosecuted for waging a war of aggression.

10. You are correct.
And Hillary didn't neglect to read the NIE, she deliberately did not read it.

3. I keep remembering what former MP George Galloway told smarmy normie coleman
during testimony before coleman's senate committee.

Paraphrasing -

"...everything we said about the Iraq war turned out to be right, and everything you said turned out to be wrong, and (at that time) more than 16-hundred Americans have paid with their lives..." And the look on normie's face as he sat there, completely cold-cocked and thoroughly flummoxed, was PRICELESS! The pathetic coleman then called a recess, and you never heard another word about it.

4. Misled?
They were the ones doing the misleading. Such a shock that McClellan is trying to peddle his tricycle into the "It wasn't me" garage.

Corzine (D-NJ)
Dayton (D-MN)
Durbin (D-IL)

7. Scotty stood up at that podium and lied his ass off for Bush
and he knows it. What I don't understand is why now tell the truth:shrug:

8. Yes. We knew. We bothered to dig a little (and you really didn't have to dig that far).
But then again, we didn't have all those adorably cutesy, folksy, Texas nicknames and our precious ACCESS to protect, did we?

My latest rant just got picked up on Huffington Post!

9. Great rant!
Katie Couric's comments to Michael Moore made me see red. "Someday, I will." Yeah, apparently it took someone else to force her "someday" to finally arrive. :eyes:

11. Here's our PNAC thread from 2003.
Edited on Thu May-29-08 02:28 AM by Stephanie
This was version two, it was started months earlier at the old site. I copied the posts over. I wish I could access the first one, with everyone's original posts intact.

13. I was also right, and those FUCKERS were doubly wrong
I kinda feel like gloating, though, matcom, now that Scotty is just another DFH.
