The State of the Union: Lies about a Dishonest War

Ted Kennedy. What a hoot! This guy talks a good game but that's about it.

He's a documented adulterer, major league alcoholic, and not much of a driver
(one of his dates never got home alive).

It appears his moral outrage is selective. He now opposes the use of force to
remove a dictator (and his regime) responsible for hundreds of thousands of
murders. Yet, regarding the Balkans, his voting record shows a different moral
stripe:
Voted YES on allowing all necessary forces and other means in Kosovo. (May
1999)
Voted YES on authorizing air strikes in Kosovo. (Mar 1999).

As Arsenio Hall used to say, "It's enough to make you go 'Hmmmmm.'"

Yep, he was--paid someone else to take an exam in his place and got caught.
But hey, his big brother jack had hired a ghostwriter to pen his thesis, so
maybe it just runs in the family...

Cool, Teddy Kennedy lecturing people on honesty.

Ted Kennedy lecturing people on honesty is like...well, it's like Ted
Kennedy lecturing people on sobriety. Or lecturing people on weight loss.
Or
lecturing people on fidelity in marriage.

Or YOU lecturing people on which side of your mobile home the license plate
goes on

especially when you very well know it goes in the center rear......

Put the shoe on the other foot . . . . prove they weren't!


How does one prove a negative? And if I can't prove 10,000 Iraqis weren't
killed by the USA, does that prove that 10,000 Iraqis were killed by the
USA? Does no burden of proof fall on those that claim 10,000 Iraqis were
killed by the USA?

Absolutely not. Nor does any burden fall on you or anyone else who either
claims 10,000 weren't killed, or questions the number.

The underlying fact remains, that be it one, or be it ten thousand killed,
its too many. It is the duty of every American citizen to question it's
government's motives. In the case of the Iraqi overthrow, even you must
admit that there have been many more questions than there have been answers.
It's that lack of answers that leads so many to believe that the overthrow
of the Iraqi government was nothing more than Bush Jr.'s payback for
Hussein's alleged contract hit put out on Bush the Senior. Whether it was
or not, when the answers to such serious questions go unanswered, what
remains is what the majority will subscribe to.

My personal opinion is that, just like the Gulf conflict, of which I was a
part, it was all about the oil and nothing more. The fact remains that
there have been no WMDs found in Iraq, but we overthrew Iraq's government,
ousted it's president, took him into custody, and handed the operation of
it's oil fields over to a Texas corporation. We have no choice but to view
that action for exactly what it looks like.

10,000 is a very high number. Personally, I hope to think it is nowhere
near that number. Statistically, with what our bombs are capable of doing,
and since they were unleashed upon Iraq with a fervor, 10,000 is a distinct
possibility.

But sleep well. We have the oil now. OPEC can go to hell, and the Taliban
has been given a reprieve and ample time to regroup - because simply put,
now that we have the oil, we've lost our focus.

Greed my friend, not only starts wars, but causes the combatants to loose
focus with historical accuracy.

Wrong. The burden of proof always falls on those making the claim. In this
case, "Nobody" has claimed 10,000 Iraqis have been killed by the USA, so the
burden of proof falls on "Nobody" to support that claim.
