How so. Lying to the country and getting hundreds of American servicemen

and
women and thousands of innocent Iraqis killed is somehow less offensive to
you than not wanting to get caught fooling around?


Buhs did not lie to the country. Thousands of innocent Iraqis have been
saved.

So I guess you're going with the "faulty intelligence" spin, then. And you
believe that Bush had the best interests of Iraq and the US as real reasons
for pushing this war. After all, that's what he keeps saying now.

Yeah. "Buhs" is just a paragon of virtue.

OK.

P.S. "Buhs" is actually a pretty apt name for him, considering his party
days.

And did Clinton have the best interests of Iraq and the US as real reasons when
he launched a massive offensive in Baghdad in 1998 "Operation Desert Fox"? He
certainly felt he did. And in Bosnia, when thousands were slaughtered in the
air in the guise of ending "genocide"? Or in Haiti? Or in Somalia?

Now, in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of graves HAVE been found. The torture
chambers (some of) HAVE been found. And even CNN now admits that it covered up
the torture and brutal murder it knew was going on in Iraq for a decade, so
that it could stay on Hussein's good side.

Don't take my word, Click here to hear Clinton say it in his own words:

Thank goodness we finally have a President who not only gets the message, but
takes action.

P.S. Unlike say, Clinton's party days? Or does he count as a saint as you
bring someone's alleged personal life into the picture yourself?

He's the president of the USA, not from Iraq nor from the whole world. Your
boundaries are clearly printed on the globe. Mess around _*within*_ these
boundaries.

Isolationism set the stage for many larger wars in the end, including World War
II. Funny how the Japanese airplanes visited Pearl Harbor during USA's
isolationist stage.

Funny thing is, there was a letter to the editor in our local paper a few
weeks ago that quoted Buhs the senior on why he wouldn't go into Iraq. It
described/predicted exactly the situation now. You'd think junior would at
least listen to dad.

Takes action myass. He wanted this war for oil and business. He doesn't give
a flying fig about the Iraqi people. The inspectors were going in. This war
is unnecessary. The stern threat was probably necessary to get the
inspectors in, but once they were, Buhs had no reason to wage this war
beyond the almighty dollar. Even Rummy said that if we didn't find weapons
in "x" months, which have long passed, we would have a credibility problem.

And we do-except for those who refuse to face reality.

At the end of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, which put
conditions on Germany rebuilding its military. When Germany later began
rebuilding its military and building concentration camps, England ignored it.
France ignored it. And even USA ignored it. The stage for a much greater war
was set.

At the end of the Gulf War in 1991, a cease fire was signed, with Saddam
Hussein's Iraq agreeing to conditions of not building certain weapons. Yet he
did, and even the UN admitted that he was not living up to his cease fire.
Thus the cease fire was void.

History repeats itself for those who never learn from it.



Takes action myass. He wanted this war for oil and business.


Huh? We don't need to go to Iraq to get oil. Are you saying that we went to
Afghanistan "for oil" too?

He doesn't give
a flying fig about the Iraqi people.


His actions show otherwise.

The inspectors were going in. This war
is unnecessary.


The inspectors hadn't been in for over half a decade. Why did they suddenly go
back? The threat of force was the ONLY reason Hussein was going to let them in
at all, even as he was hiding his programs.


The stern threat was probably necessary to get the
inspectors in,


It's obvious that they were not going anywhere without credible threat of force,
because they didn't go anywhere without a credible threat of force. .

but once they were, Buhs had no reason to wage this war
beyond the almighty dollar. Even Rummy said that if we didn't find weapons
in "x" months, which have long passed, we would have a credibility problem.


Do tell us what x really is. Speaking of credibility problem, you seem to have
no problem with Clinton's brutual bombing of Baghdad in 1998, the strikes in
1995, the Belgrade calamities caused by bombing in 1999, the bloody excursions
in Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia. But whenever there was terrorism (World Trade
Center bombing 1993, Cole Bombing, US Embassy bombings, and so on), there was no
response except the message that America will not respond.

And we do-except for those who refuse to face reality.

No. We went to Afghanistan to get Osama. We went to Iraq because we didn't.

He doesn't give
a flying fig about the Iraqi people.

How. By bombing the crap out of them. How can he claim surgical strike
capability when he's dropping thousands of bombs a day.


The inspectors were going in. This war
is unnecessary.


The inspectors hadn't been in for over half a decade. Why did they

suddenly go
back?


Because Buhs had to divert attention from the fact that he couldn't get
Osama.

The threat of force was the ONLY reason Hussein was going to let them in
at all, even as he was hiding his programs.


See below.


The stern threat was probably necessary to get the
inspectors in,

force,
because they didn't go anywhere without a credible threat of force.


Nor, evidently, were they going anywhere at all. Talk about unrestricted
access. Where are the WMD's and don't give me any crap about saving the F
ing Iraqis in your answer.



but once they were, Buhs had no reason to wage this war
beyond the almighty dollar. Even Rummy said that if we didn't find

weapons
in "x" months, which have long passed, we would have a credibility

problem.



Do tell us what x really is.


I believe x=6. I don't record every word these people say. I have better
things to do.


Speaking of credibility problem, you seem to have
no problem with Clinton's brutual bombing of Baghdad in 1998, the strikes

in
1995, the Belgrade calamities caused by bombing in 1999, the bloody

Center bombing 1993, Cole Bombing, US Embassy bombings, and so on), there

was no

And you do seem to have a problem with them. Why is it that anything Clinton
did was impeachable, but Buhs can do no wrong?

And we do-except for those who refuse to face reality.

Seems Bill was wrong here. Even with nobody watching, he never rebuilt his
arsenal, did he?

It's just a shame that the only message he "gets" comes from the oil
industry.

That's a point I just don't get. The Texas oil industry stands to lose
its shirt if the market is flooded with cheap Iraqi oil, since more
supply equals a lower price.

Not correct?
